about 15 years ago, we had viewpoint create a stored procedure that automatically created and added a lien waiver for each invoice (based on a Value over a changeable number). This added it to a user defined table. We are then able to check off liens that we have received back and follow up on others. This should be a standard practice in place by Vista/Viewpoint.
7 years later and still no word. an update would be great.
This would be very beneficial.
Any update on this, seems like a fair amount of people are looking for this solution, as I also saw several comments regarding this on the community portal. Its a universal processes across all scopes of work for construction. Does Viewpoint have any update?
I did not see this post; I also submitted a request to make the process more automatic. Currently everything is manually. From spending the time creating the waivers, to tracking in a spreadsheet, emailing/mail, and monitoring. We should be able to go through job set up, where we could flag the subs and suppliers that we choose to automate with in a job

If all the payment history is in Vista and I can have an AP lien auto-generated using custom programming, I don't see why we can't have the ability to track AP lien releases by project. IMO, this is needed now, as tracking them manually takes up a lot of valuable time I don't have.
This would be a huge help to all of us.
I started another suggestion similar to this, but I would like to see an auto-lien generation function which essentially would require a check box on the vendor master and job master. If both are checked, it would generate a file after checks are printed (similar to overflow) where you could print all lien waivers that were paid in that check batch by vendor by job and send with the checks.
