Raising Progress Claims

With Sage Timberline Accounts Receivable Method 2 , progress claims are raised in Timberline, and not Framework.

Claims are typically raised by the input of construction progress on a regular basis. As a part of inputting progress information and either forecasting or completing construction stages, progress claims are raised.

For more information on raising progress claims through Timberline refer to the Timberline product documentation.

Invoicing Progress Claims (Method 2)

Framework Claims can have their invoice details updated from Timberline if Claims Method 2 is chosen in the .ini file.

For this to work, jobs in Timberline must be setup as Contracts billing method. A job must also have all cost codes entered against it.
