A project's progress payments are calculated over a Construction Diary and BoQ in construction sector. Bill of Quantities (BoQ) is kept to determine the completion rate of the works done within the scope of activities and it is prepared to perform measuring calculations of the production in the relevant progress payment period. Total production quantities are calculated with measurements that are provided in Bills of Quantities in detail.
If System Settings > Project Management > Defaults and Parameters > "In Calculation of Progress Payment Production Totals" parameter value is set to Use Quantity Info, production total is calculated based on the measuring information given under the Construction Diary and BoQ tab. Thereby total production amount is calculated on activity basis. Production amount is multiplied by the unit price of the contract transaction that has been linked to the activity, and the result gives the production total. Progress payment production total is used in calculating contract deductions and billing progress payments.
