The Payment Certificate Received document is used to record and confirm the certified value of work completed on a project, as assessed and issued by the client or consultant.
It serves as an official acknowledgment of:
Work progress approved by the client
Amounts certified for invoicing
Retention, VAT, and deductions as per contract
Once recorded, it can be used to generate a Progressive Invoice, Offset prepayments, and Track certified progress, comparing it with the applied progress.
Project Costing→ Project Progress→ Payment Certificates Received.
Alternatively, it can be generated using the "Generate" option in the Payment Application Issued document.
How to create
Click Create, then select the Project. The certificate details will be automatically filled based on the chosen project.
In the main tab,
Project: This project is associated with the certificate. It helps the system automatically fill details like the WBS, cost tracking, and the Services tab.
Company: The legal entity issuing or receiving the certificate.
Contract: Links the document to a contract. Enables contract-specific settings, such as retention, billing terms, and linked documents (e.g., Payment Applications, Invoices).
Retention: The portion of money held back, either as a percentage or a fixed amount. It’s automatically calculated from the certified amount. This will be taken from contract.
Entity: The legal entity issuing or receiving the certificate.
Basis: Shows if the certificate is created from a Payment Application or entered separately as progress.
Comment: A field for any notes, comments, or special instructions.
