How To Add a Payment Request

Payment requests allow grant recipients to invoice grant funding organizations for expenses accrued (reimbursement) or anticipated (cash advance) during the life of the grant. For clients with funders in AmpliFund, payment requests can be submitted directly to the funder for review and approval.

Payment requests can be created independently, or directly from closed tracking or reporting periods by clicking the  (Payment Request icon) next to a period name on Post-Award tab>Management>Tracking Periods or >Reporting Periods. The fields available may vary depending on your account status as a recipient or standalone client.
