SOV to be approved before 1st pay application submitted

It would be useful to have the SOV be approved before a subcontractor can submit their 1st pay application. This ensures that the SOV lines are correct the 1st time and the subcontractor doesn't have to delete and resubmit their pay application.

    It would be a huge benefit for the SOV to be approved prior to billing. It would save time and aggravation for subs who are required to revise their SOV and resubmit, keep from having to reopen a billing period, etc. It's a feature of GC Pay and I think would be a great feature to provide your customers.

    This would be a great feature. We have subs submit billings before their SOV is approved and then they are unable to make changes after we reject their invoices. Trimble Pay definitely needs a feature that all SOV's need approved before their first payment submission.

    This is our biggest request from our project managers. It is possible to deny the first pay app, but the process of denying the pay app and then waiting for the sub to rebill is not timely. In some cases, it causes the sub to not have enough time to get the pay app resubmitted in time. (Therefore causing accounting to reopen the billing period.)

    It would be most efficient if there was an option to approve the SOV first.

    This would be so helpful. Unfortunately a PM approved an invoice and then we caught that the SOV had 1 line (mistake on the PM) but still this would be very helpful

    This is very beneficial as most contracts require submission and approval of the SOV prior to 1st billing.
