When an item’s work is not yet complete enough to deserve its full rate, enter a Part Rate Qty (the portion of the up-to-date quantity to be paid at a reduced rate) and the proposed Part Rate, with the reason. The part-rate portion is paid at the part rate and the remainder at the agreement rate. Part Rate Qty can never exceed UD Qty, and the part rate can never exceed the agreement rate — the grid enforces both. An open part-rate proposal carries into the next bill until it is resolved.
Recovery of departmentally issued material (cement, reinforcement steel, other materials) is applied from the bill’s toolbar. It is driven by the DNIT material-issue register: nothing issued means nothing recovered. On intermediate RA bills the recovery follows the consumption to date (capped at the issued quantity); on a Work Order, First & Final or Final RA bill the full issued quantity is recovered. Once applied, the recovery keeps itself up to date as measurements change.
Enter the Account of Secured Advances from the Secured Advance toolbar button. The advance and the recovery of the previous bill’s advance flow into the bill’s Additions / Secured Advance / Deductions block automatically. On the Final bill no advance may remain outstanding — the entire balance is recovered in full.
The Deviation (Estimate Linked) tab shows every item’s agreed vs executed quantity with an editable “Reasons for Deviation” per running bill. records the sanction of extra and substitute items. Deviation, variation, AHR/ALR and part-rate statements are produced from the bill data.
Open Test Check… from the bill entry page to record which measurements were test-checked, per bill. Every measured item is listed with its up-to-date Bill Qty; against each one enter the Checked Qty, the M.B. Ref (it starts from the bill row’s own reference), the Date and the checking officer, then Save test-check.
By is AE or EE. These are not equal shares of one check: the Assistant Engineer test-checks the measurements, and the Executive Engineer — senior in rank — over-checks a portion of what the AE has already checked, so an EE row denotes that higher-tier check.
Leave the quantity blank for items that were not checked — only checked items appear on the Test Check Statement, which shows each item’s percentage checked and closes with the overall coverage of the checked items’ value. Saving replaces that bill’s test-check rows with the grid.
Open Mandatory Test… from the bill entry page for the CPWD schedule of mandatory material tests. Each material — Cement, Fine Aggregates, Bricks … — is a block carrying its Qty consumed for the billing cycle, with its tests listed underneath.
Where the material has a basic-rate code the consumed quantity is filled in for you from the analysis (the same figure the MR Justification computes) and marked “auto from consumption”; you may override it. Concrete and construction water are not basic materials, so type their quantities in.
Reqd is then quantity consumed ÷ the CPWD frequency, rounded up — 220 T of cement at one test per 50 T requires 5 tests. A dash means the test is not quantity-based but periodic (“3 Months”, “Daily before pour”, per grade) and no count can be derived. Record the tests carried out as Passed and Rejected and save; the Mandatory Test Statement prints the shortfall against each requirement.
The test list itself — test, IS code and frequency — is editable per project: follow edit test list at the top of the page, or see Testing Frequency.
Approving a bill locks it — its measurements and quantities can be inspected but not changed. Earlier (superseded) RA bills open read-only as well. The Test Check and Mandatory Test pages follow the same lock: an approved or superseded bill opens them read-only. The latest approved bill can be reopened for correction — you are asked to confirm, and the bill locks again the next time it is approved.
compares the agreement with the actually executed work (including extra items) and lets you record per-item Remarks, which print as the “Reasons for Variation” on the Revised Estimate report.
The Bills menu also hosts the escalation claims — see Escalation claims.
(Shift+F4) is a submenu of every bill statement — Abstract, Memorandum of Payment, Deviation / Variation, Part Rate, AHR / ALR, Theoretical Consumption of Cement / Steel, Dia-wise Steel, Mandatory Test, Test Check, Secured Advance (shown only when one is involved), Material Recovery — each opening Report Preview on the latest bill. Statements that don’t apply to the bill type are declined with a message rather than opening empty.
