Why is my payment due date blank?

1. Open the job, then Calendar. Statutory facts is at the top of the list of dates that YourCA cannot work out yet.
2. A link such as Set the state on this job, on a claim in Financials, opens the Dash on a card. The card asks for the state and the contract date. Answer each one once. The answer then applies to the whole job, on every device and every claim.
3. The first answer is the state or territory the work is in. The state you set on the job is the answer. Security of payment follows where the work is, not what a governing law clause says.
4. If you have not set a state, YourCA uses the governing law it read from your contract. The Act is different in every state, so YourCA works out no date until it knows the state.
5. Anybody who edits the job can name the state when none is set. After that, only a company administrator can change or clear it, because every date on the job moves with it.
6. If the state you set and the governing law in your contract are different, YourCA tells you on the Dash and on the Statutory facts panel on the Calendar. It also tells you which state the dates came from. It does not choose one without telling you.
7. YourCA works out every date on the job under the state you set. If the work is really in the other state, change the state on the job. The dates move with it.
8. The second answer is the date the contract was entered into. If the contract review read it from the execution page or the particulars, it arrives filled in. It shows the clause and the words it came from.
9. Check the date and press Use this date. Or change it first, and YourCA records the date you confirm as your answer. YourCA uses nothing until you confirm it.
10. If the review could not quote a date, nothing is filled in and YourCA asks you. It does not use your project start date. New South Wales changed the payment-claim rules in 2014 and again in 2019, and this date decides which set of rules applies.
11. The third answer is the payment period. It decides the day you are due to be paid. If the contract review read and quoted a period, YourCA uses it and you have nothing to answer.
12. If the review could not read one, answer in one of two ways. Record the number of calendar days your contract gives the builder to pay you after you serve. Or confirm that your contract says nothing about it.
13. When you confirm your contract is silent, YourCA can apply the Act's own period. It does not assume silence by itself. A term it failed to read looks exactly like a term that is not there.
14. YourCA marks a period you record as yours everywhere it is used. It carries no clause and no quote, because none exists. Your name and the date go against it, because this answer decides a statutory date.
15. A claim already served with no payment due date says so on its own payments panel in Financials. The panel gives the reason and what would fix it. YourCA does not show the claim as fine or as late, because neither is known.
16. Under the dates there is a drop-down called What these dates rest on. It is on the Dash, on the Calendar and beside the two deadlines on a served claim.
17. Open it to see what YourCA assumed where no clause said otherwise. It also shows any section it read from a secondary source rather than from the Act itself. It lists the public holidays it counted for your state and the ones it did not.
18. It also says these are statutory defaults and not legal advice. The questions of law that are still open fold inside it. Check every date against your contract and the Act before you rely on it.
