Payment Application Processor
Process construction payment applications. Validate schedule of values, calculate retainage, track billing status, and generate G702/G703 forms.
Why use this skill?
Automate construction billing with the Payment Application Processor. Generate AIA G702/G703 forms, validate SOVs, and track retainage effortlessly.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/datadrivenconstruction/payment-application-processorWhat This Skill Does
The Payment Application Processor is a specialized OpenClaw agent skill designed to streamline the complex financial workflows found in the construction industry. It automates the preparation, validation, and documentation phases of AIA G702 (Application and Certificate for Payment) and G703 (Continuation Sheet) forms. By integrating with a project's Schedule of Values (SOV), the skill automatically calculates progress, verifies line-item completion against contract sums, and manages retainage deductions, reducing human error in critical billing cycles.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your agent workspace, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/datadrivenconstruction/payment-application-processor
Ensure your agent environment has the necessary permissions to read project financial data and write to document storage for form generation.
Use Cases
- Monthly Billing Cycles: Automate the repetitive task of compiling progress percentages across dozens of line items for monthly billing.
- Subcontractor Management: Standardize pay app submissions from diverse subcontractors to ensure all necessary compliance documents and percentage calculations are consistent with the prime contract.
- Project Financial Audits: Maintain an accurate historical record of payment applications, change orders, and retainage releases for faster project close-outs.
Example Prompts
- "Generate the G702/G703 forms for the Oak Street Project for the billing period ending October 31st based on the current SOV spreadsheet."
- "Review the pending pay app for Smith Electric; check if the current completion percentage exceeds the reported progress in the field and flag any discrepancies."
- "Calculate the total retainage release for the final payment application on the Metro Center project, ensuring all change orders are accounted for in the adjusted contract sum."
Tips & Limitations
- Accuracy: Always verify input data from field reports before finalizing an application, as the skill relies on the quality of the input percentages.
- Integration: This skill works best when paired with project management software that exports raw SOV data in JSON or CSV format.
- Limits: While the skill automates calculations, it should not replace final human oversight for legal sign-offs on AIA documents.
