Payment calendar
Open this screen in Saral/projects/calendar
Every Construction Act date across the projects you can see: due dates, payment-notice and pay-less-notice deadlines, final dates for payment and retention releases — both ways, what we pay and what we are paid. A month grid and a 90-day list; an iCal subscription puts the same dates in your own calendar.
You enter
- Nothing — the dates are rules over the registers. Filter by project, kind and direction; subscribe or download the .ics.
Saral fills in
- Subcontractor dates from each package's payment terms on its unpaid bills and open applications
- Our dates from the main contract's terms on each open application
- Retention releases from the retention register and the contract particulars
- Alerts — payment notice due, pay-less deadline, final date passed and still unpaid — with the days to go
It produces
- A subscription link for Outlook, Google or Apple Calendar (revoke it under Settings → Data feeds), and a one-off .ics
What this page is for
The Construction Act does not forgive a missed notice. This page puts every statutory date the registers imply on one calendar, in both directions, so a pay-less deadline on a subcontractor and a final date for payment from the client are seen together — and pushed to the calendar the team already looks at.
Where the dates come from
The contract particulars on Contract & Budget set the payment terms: due date rule, notice periods, final date. Each application and each subcontractor bill is placed by those terms. Retention releases come from the retention registers. If a project's subcontractor bills could not be read, its notice dates are missing and the page names the project rather than showing a quiet gap.
The payment timetable on the contract record
The dated cycle for the main contract and the subcontracts — valuation date, due date, notice dates, final date, month by month — lives on Contract & Budget as the Payment timetable card. This calendar is the same rules across every project.
A project missing
Where a project's subcontractor bills could not be read, the page names it and leaves its notice dates out rather than showing them wrong.
Where next
Issue the notice from Payment notices, record the application on Contract & Budget, and read the money the dates imply on Cash-flow forecast.
