ABWOR: expenditure calculations and interim claims

The authorised expenditure calculations are based upon the payment request type selected within the synopsis tab and the work items contained within the payment request.

• this means that where the payment request type remains on 'FINAL', the expenditure calculation will not include the value of the interim fee work item
• this further improvement means you can now observe any expenditure restrictions within the 'FINAL' draft and be mindful of these when entering the value of your interim fee claim
• to proceed with the interim claim select 'INTERIM' within the synopsis and complete the further mandatory details, as appropriate
• the system has been redesigned so that draft work items will no longer be automatically deleted. Draft work items can now only ever be deleted manually by you
• on confirming the interim type and returning to the work breakdown screen the expenditure calculations will now only be based upon work items that are valid in an interim claim
• this allows you to have regard to any outlays you may have incurred so that you can ensure you have sufficient expenditure to cover these and, if necessary, adjust your interim fee claim to have regard to these
• for example, if you had incurred fees of £628.79 and entered this as your interim fee claim, but you had also incurred outlays of £150 you would be advised that the expenditure has been exceeded:

 

• you could then reduce your interim fee claim to ensure you had sufficient remaining expenditure to cover the outlays incurred.
• please remember that outlays should never be included within the value you enter within the interim fee work item. Outlays incurred, for which you wish to obtain an interim payment, should be submitted by using the interim claim 'OUTLAY' process.
