Acting as
Role and document do not match. You are acting on the client side, who issues the certificate, but the document is set to an Application for Payment, which the contractor submits up the chain.
That warning is the program refusing to let the wrong document out, not a note in a manual.
You are applying
You put the figure in, and it comes back cutYou value what was built, submit it, and defend the variations that came back priced at nothing. The difference between the two figures is yours to argue for.
Applying for paymentYou are certifying
You take the figure out, and you answer for itYou value the same work from the other chair, issue the certificate, and account for every line you removed. The figure has to hold when somebody asks how you got there.
Certifying paymentYou are doing both
There is no quantity surveyor, so it is youYou measure it, you apply for it and you chase it, between site visits, with nobody to hand it to. The dates run whether or not anyone is watching them.
Doing both yourselfYou are reporting
You report on a job to the lender funding itSomebody has to say how much of the facility should be released this month, and stand behind the figure when the money moves. The reader of that document was never on site.
Recommending a drawdownThe client, the architect and the tenderer are not on this list. They are the people you let in on a link: they see the one document you sent them, answer it, and that answer is written into the record. No account, no licence, no charge, on every plan.
Open one project, say which side of the contract you are on, and the documents follow. Thirty days, and nothing to cancel if you walk away.
