Submit your SOV for approval

Modified on Tue, 3 Dec at 11:27 PM

The 'MY Progress' screen in the SOV module shows the SOV items available for submission and gets updated dynamically with the progress updates of the tasks.

On the submission date, you can select the items you want to submit and push them for approval.
Any remaining items will be available for submission in future billing cycles.
Items pushed from the 'Progress' screen appear in the 'Open' screen for review and submission.
The 'Open' screen offers a detailed breakdown of values, enabling efficient management and verification of data.

Stored Materials:

For the applicable SOV line items, you can input the dollar value of remaining and unconsumed materials procured for tasks and stored on-site or in the warehouse. These unused material costs are factored into the calculation of billing-eligible cost values for each item. The system ensures accurate tracking by preventing repetitive calculation of material values across multiple Schedule of Values (SOV) submissions.

Note: You can submit your SOV for a month only within the submission window configured for the project by the GC.
