The ultimate goal of lien release functionality is to automate the process as much as possible. Lien laws are designed to protect the suppliers, subcontractors, and laborers from general contractors who are paid by the owner but do not pay the suppliers, subcontractors, and laborers. Lien laws vary from state to state and so do the documents used in the lien process and the timelines for which to file these documents.
To help make this process easier, Hyphen provides all of the lien documents for each state and the ability to automatically input the appropriate date into the lien document from the BuildPro database. This functionality is available in BuildPro and SupplyPro.
To access Lien Documents:
Log into SupplyPro.
Click on the Lien Docs tab. The Lien Docs Home page opens.
If you are a company-level user, you must choose a division from the Divisions drop-down list in the top left of the page. If you are a division-level user, your assigned division is automatically selected, and it is the only option in the Divisions drop-down list.
