Subcontractor RA billing and work orders

Sampraxis keeps each subcontractor’s commercial story in one place: the agreement, the work orders and variations, the running account (RA) bills measured against them, every deduction and every payment. A bill is reviewed before it is paid, and approval and payment stay separate decisions.

Launching soon: subcontractor billing is in testing in the private beta of Sampraxis Project Management.

Agreements, work orders and variations

Each subcontractor has a directory entry and a workspace with its agreements, work orders and variations. A work order carries the scope, the unit and the agreed rate — for example RCC slab reinforcement, shuttering and concrete for the first floor, labour and material, at a quantity rate — and the award quantity and value.

RA bills from measured quantities

An RA bill starts from the work order’s items. For each item the measurement table shows the previous quantity, the current quantity and the rate, and the bill works out the gross amount with GST at the rate you set.

  • Quantities carry forward, so each bill knows what earlier bills already claimed.
  • Mark the last bill on a work order as the final bill.
  • Download each bill as a PDF and an Excel sheet.

Deductions shown before the net payable

The difference between the bill value and what you pay should never be a surprise. Each bill lists:

  • Retention held back until the defects period ends.
  • TDS deducted at source.
  • Advance recovery for money paid ahead of work.
  • Material debit for material you supplied that the subcontractor consumed.
  • Other deductions, each with a note saying why.

Then the total deductions and the net payable.

Reviewed first, then paid

A submitted bill waits for approval by someone allowed to approve it. Payments are recorded afterwards, one or several, with the payment mode and reference, and the bill shows the remaining balance. Releasing retention is its own step, with its own amount and date.

Site progress next to the claim

Every work order compares the quantity reported in daily progress reports with the quantity measured, and shows the award balance for both. Work outside the agreed scope appears as an exception to review before the bill is certified.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay part of an RA bill?

Yes. Record each payment against the bill with its mode and reference; the bill shows what is paid and what remains.

How is retention released?

Retention deducted on each bill is held and tracked. Releasing it is a separate step with its own amount and date, so it never goes out by accident with a running bill.

What if the subcontractor claims more than the site reported?

Each work order shows the quantity reported in DPRs next to the quantity measured and the balance of the award. Claims beyond the agreed scope are flagged for review.

Can I send the bill to the subcontractor?

Every RA bill downloads as a PDF to send and as an Excel sheet for checking.
