S/C payments should use Total S/C Invoices to Date

There should be an option to enter the "Total S/C Invoices to Date" when starting a S/C payment.

This value is regularly used on subcontractor payment schedules and is reflected by their Gross Claim to Date. The current Jobpac method requires a manual calculation for the majority of payments

    Our current process works well, its just the claim entry method using a "This Claim" value that seems disjointed.


    Would be great to see an option for entering subbie claims with the Total to Date.

    Got it. And would you be interested in configuring the system to force the
    linking of the registered subbi invoices to the claims you are authorising,
    which would automate the calculation of Subbie claim values? Just a
    thought. If that sounds of interest we could assist you with that
    configuration through support. In the mean time we will consider the Total
    entry method for Roadmap.
    Cheers.

    We're manually entering in "This S/C Invoice Value".

    This relies on the subcontractor value being correct in terms of retention and amount previously paid - which it generally isn't. So we are completing a manual step with a calculator to obtain this value.

    The better approach would be to use "Total S/C Invoices to Date". This is gross claim to date and is used by all contractors on their claims.

    Hi There,
    That value should be automatically calculated from the Pending Subbie
    Invoices/claims linked to the Authorisation and it would be shown on the SC
    claims tab.
    Are you manually entering the "This Claim value" or are you configured for
    Mandatory SC Pending Invoice Linking where the value is automated?
    cheers

    I understand that this functionality isn't available - would be great if this could be added in.


    See attached a screen shot of what we are trying to achieve - we should be able to enter the "Total S/C Invoices to Date" when starting the S/C payment.


    The value claimed by subcontractors should always be reconciled back to a Total Claim to date rather than an individual invoice value.

    Hi There,
    Please reach out to our support and services team regarding this feature.
    We can assist you to configure this methodology in your system. Consulting
    involvement is recommended for the activation to ensure all your current
    Subcontracts are in the correct position before activation and other
    training considerations.
    Cheers
