What it is for. Everything you owe the people who work for you — subcontractors and installers — in one list. Including labour logged in Time Tracking that has not been paid out yet.
What you see. Four cards: Pending, Paid, and counts of installers and contractors. Then the list, filterable by status and by whether the payee is an installer or a subcontractor.
Pending includes unpaid labour hours pulled from Time Tracking, not only payouts you created. That is deliberate — it answers "what do I owe" rather than "what have I written down".
Creating one. Add Payout asks for the payee, job, amount, date and status.
The trap. A manual payout and logged labour hours for the same person on the same job are only recognised as the same money when the job, amount and worker line up exactly. Otherwise you have paid once and recorded it twice. If you pay from the labour rows rather than adding a separate payout, this cannot happen.
What happens automatically. A payout marked Paid becomes an expense, so it reaches job profitability.
What it connects to. Installers, Subcontractors, Jobs, Time Tracking and Expenses.
