Draft/Pending Contracts: Contracts with the Status of 'Draft or Pending', will not be shown in the Payments drop-down menu. Additionally, for part-approved contracts, all milestones with the status ‘Pending’ will not appear in the payment. Payments can only be added to contracts with an 'Approved’ status. 

Variations
Adding a payment against Variations: It is only possible to add a payment to a Variation that has a status of 'IN PRINCIPLE' or 'APPROVED'. 
Variations with a status of: 'PENDING, REJECTED, or WITHDRAWN', will not be shown in the Payments form.

Invoice Number: This is the invoice associated with the payment.

It is important to put in the Payment Month. This is the month stated on the payment, or that you received it. If the payment period is not from the first day to the last day of the month, you are able to add exact dates in the ' Additional Fields' section below. 

Status: There are 5 options for status. Rejected, Draft, Submitted, Approved, and Paid. If the status is;

Approved, a Date Approved field will appear, and if the status is,

Paid, you are required to populate the Cash Flow Month.

Cash Flow Month is the month that the payment is paid, or when this is unknown it is generally assumed to be the month following the payment month.
