## Quick Reference

- Create the order. Draw request details opens next.
- Drop the pay application in the box, or click Browse file.
- Check each line's Requested Amount and Materials Stored.
- Check the Retainage tag and column.
- Click Save to inspection.

## Before You Start

- You have just created a draw inspection order.
- You have the contractor's pay application as a PDF or an image.

## Step 1: Read the Confirmation

**The inspection is already ordered.** After the order, a second step takes the requested amounts line by line. The green bar confirms the draw inspection has been ordered. Skipping or canceling this step does not cancel the inspection.

## Step 2: Drop In the Pay Application

**PDF or image.** Drop a PDF or an image in the box, or click Browse file. RAZE AI reads the Requested and Materials Stored columns of a G703 pay application and fills the matching budget lines for your team to check.

## Step 3: Check the Lines

**Requested Amount and Materials Stored.** Each budget line shows its Scheduled Amount, Funded / Actual and Remaining beside the Requested Amount and Materials Stored. Compare each filled figure with the pay application and correct any line by typing over it.

**Retainage.** Retainage can be set as a budget default, typed on the order, or entered on the draw sheet. The tag above the table shows the budget default, or Retainage not set when there is none.

## Step 4: Save or Skip

**Save to inspection.** Click Save to inspection and the amounts travel with the job to the inspector's draw sheet.

**Skip this step.** Skip the amounts and the inspection is still ordered.

## Tips

**DO**
- Compare every filled line with the pay application before you save.
- Check the Limit shown above the table against the contract.
- Set retainage once on the budget if it is the same on every draw.

**WATCH FOR**
- RAZE AI reads the Requested and Materials Stored columns. Other columns are not filled.
- One pay application is entered at a time. It is not reconciled against the previous one for you.

## Troubleshooting

**Q: I closed the window by mistake. Is my order gone?**
A: No. Skipping or canceling this step does not cancel the inspection.

**Q: A line was filled with the wrong amount.**
A: Type the correct figure over it before you click Save to inspection.

**Q: The tag reads Retainage not set.**
A: No default is set on the budget. Type retainage on the order, or the inspector enters it on the draw sheet.
