How to View and Manage Payments in the Payment Overview
Complete guide to navigating Payment Overview for construction project managers
Payment Overview is your central hub for managing a payment in Mastt. From here, you can review payment amounts, verify compliance with AI, manage supporting documents, and track payment history, all in one place.
Before you start
A payment must already exist within a contract before you can view Payment Overview.
Open Payment Overview
- From the Mastt Home page, click a project tile to open your project.
- Click Cost in the left navigation bar.
- Click Payments in the top navigation bar to open the Payment register.
- Click the Payment Title to open Payment Overview.
Note: If your register is grouped by Contract, Month Paid, Month, Status, or Reimbursable Claim, click the Expander Arrow next to a group to reveal its payments first.
Find your way around the tabs
Payment Overview organises payment information across four tabs. Each tab focuses on a specific aspect of payment management.

| Amounts | The default view. A detailed breakdown of contract and variation values included in the payment application. |
| AI Reviews | Payment application checks against uploaded contract documents, using Mastt AI. |
| Attachments | All documents related to the payment application, including supporting payment files. |
| Audit Log | A complete read-only history of all changes made to a payment application, including user activity and timestamps, so you can track who made changes and when. |
Amounts tab
