Progress billing and retention management
A submitted payment application, an approved certificate, an issued invoice and a collected payment are different events. Record measured work, deductions and advance recovery under the agreed contract. Track client retention receivable and subcontractor retention payable separately, with release conditions, due dates and supporting approvals.
Agree how rejected claims, partial certifications, amended certificates and retention releases affect reports. A site progress update supplies evidence; it does not automatically authorise billing or a payment.
