Draw Request Entry
Complete the Draw Request Entry screen at the beginning of each job to specify the items that should appear on the job's draw requests.
Subsequent draw requests will be automatically created by the software when the Update Draws to Invoice Entry is performed; you need only enter either the dollar amount to be billed or the new job-to-date completion percentage.
When setting up the initial draw request for a contract, it is important to verify that the total scheduled value entered is equal to the contract amount. Draw Request Entry and reports for unit price contracts use the default unit price and quantity display masks from Contracts. This is useful in designating how unit price and quantity figures appear on these reports, on a line-by-line basis, particularly when tracking very large or very small amounts.
