Trimble Unity Construct's application for payment feature supports widely used standards for processing invoices. By flagging commitment types to use the payment application functionality, pay app specific columns become available while processing an application for payment (commitment invoice) throughout the Cost and Processes modules. The Application for Payment feature is a fit for clients who already use or want to start using industry standard invoice processing. Additionally, clients may choose to enable the payment application to take advantage of the schedule of values download and import capabilities.
