Payment groupings help you organise payment data into logical categories to simplify analysis and reporting across your construction projects. Use this feature to view payments by contract, time period, or approval status.
Before you start
- You have access to a project in Mastt with the Cost Module enabled.
- Payments have been entered for the project.
Access the Payments page
- Go to your project in Mastt.
- Click Cost in the left-hand navigation bar.
- Click Payments in the top navigation bar to view all payment data.
Select a grouping option
- Click the Group By dropdown in the top-left corner of the Payments page to view the available grouping options.
- Select your preferred grouping method.
| Option | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Contract | Groups all payments by their associated contract. | To analyse costs per vendor or head contractor. |
| Month Paid | Groups payments by the month in which they were paid. | For monthly financial reporting. |
| Month | Groups payments by their calendar month. | To align with your accounting cycles. |
| Status | Groups payments by current status. | To identify payments that need approval. |
| Reimbursable Claim | Shows only payments against reimbursable type contracts. | To review payments against reimbursable type contracts on their own. |
| None | Shows all payments without grouping. | Use this to remove all grouping and show every payment in one list. |
Tip: Select different grouping options to gain various perspectives on your financial data throughout the project lifecycle.
View grouped data
- Check the group header to view the combined value of all payments in that group.
- Click any group header to expand or collapse that group.
Note: Your grouping preference is saved per user, so your preferred view stays consistent across sessions. You can also use groupings with filters for more specific analysis.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
What if groupings show empty or incorrect totals?
Check that payment data has been entered with correct contract assignments and dates. Missing information affects grouping calculations.
Why can't I see payments after I select a grouping?
Click the group headers to expand them. Groups are collapsed by default to give a cleaner overview of your data.
Can I export grouped payment data?
Yes. Click Export and choose Current View to download a CSV of the table as displayed. The export keeps the current grouping and filter selections.
