The approval authority, usually the general contractor (GC) or the owner, can review the Schedule of Values (SOVs) submitted by contractors, including any submitted by the GC, for the current month. This allows for thorough assessment and processing. All monetary values are derived from the budget allocations assigned to tasks within the project budget by the GC.
- If the GC is the final approval authority, they can directly approve the SOV by themselves
- If the owner is the approval authority, the GC can review and submit the SOV to the owner for approval
Once approved, the contractors can generate invoices following the SOVs.

- Open the 'SOV' > 'Current Month' screen. To do so:
- Ensure that you are on the management console of the project
- Click the app launcher icon
in the top-right and select "Finance" from the drop down - Click 'SOV' on the top, then select 'Current Month' from the options on the left
