What is my exposure?

1. Open the Dash on a job. What stops being claimable is under the brief. The figure sums up the rows above it, and you read a summary after the thing it sums up.
2. The figure is the value behind the windows that shut first.
3. It uses the shortest of seven, fourteen and thirty days that actually has something in it. So a bad week says seven days, and a quiet week says thirty.
4. Under it is the first item by name, then the full list. Each row shows the days left, what it is worth, the clause the deadline came from, and the words of your contract underneath.
5. The rows now come from two places.
6. First, variations whose notice window is still open and that have no notice recorded. Second, a claim that your builder scheduled short of what you asked for.
7. The window of a variation runs from the day the builder directed the change to the notice deadline your contract sets.
8. It is not the time between the notice and the pricing of the variation, or between the variation and your claim. After you record the notice as given, the variation leaves the list.
9. Press the item. You go to its record on Financials, where you can write the notice or read the payment schedule.
10. Anything YourCA could not price or date is counted under the figure, never hidden. What it is worth shows on the heading of its list, beside the count.
11. Open that list. Each row shows the one question that would settle it.
12. A total that looks complete when it is not is worse than no total.
13. If nothing on the job can be both priced and dated yet, there is no figure at all.
14. One short line says there is no countdown to give you. The two headings under it show what is held up and what it is worth. So you still read the amounts first.
15. It never prints a nil, because nil looks like nothing at stake.
16. This is usual on a job whose only open item is a claim the builder scheduled short.
17. A variation nobody priced shows as a deadline with no figure, not as nil. Put a build-up on it under Financials, Variations, and it joins the figure.
18. If YourCA could not read a notice period from your contract, it prints no deadline at all. It does not assume seven days or fourteen.
19. Run the in depth review on the Contract tab, or record the period yourself under Your commercial terms on the same tab. The deadline then fills in automatically.
20. Windows that already closed are listed separately. They are not in the figure.
21. Read them anyway. A notice given late is a different argument from a notice never given, and the record is what makes that argument later.
22. That closed list goes back three months.
23. It never empties itself. On an account with a year of trading, the whole history would hide the windows still open.
24. The count and the amount beside the heading cover every closed window. The list tells you how many older windows it leaves out, and from when. Each of those is still on its own variation.
25. On Reports, Stops being claimable is second, after Aged debtors.
26. Across every job, it groups by how soon each window shuts, not by job. On a Monday you want the writing for the week in one list, not the same register once for each job.
27. Only a role that can see financial figures sees this at all.
