## Quick Reference

- Max % is the line's share of the budget.
- Previous % is what earlier inspections approved.
- Available % is Max minus Previous.
- Current % is this visit's entry and can't exceed Available.

## Before You Start

- You have opened a submitted job's Draw Sheet.

## Step 1: Know the Four Columns

**Max %.** The line's full share, from the Budget tab.

**Previous %.** What earlier inspections approved on the line.

**Available %.** What is left to draw: Max minus Previous.

**Current %.** What the inspector entered this visit. It can never exceed Available.

## Step 2: Read Two Real Lines

**Cabinet and Clearing / Grading / Building Permit.** Cabinet: Max 4.00%, Previous 0.00%, so 4.00% is Available. Clearing / Grading / Building Permit: Max 4.00%, Previous 4.00%, so nothing is Available.

## Step 3: Follow the Cycle

**Approval rolls it forward.** When you approve, Current % moves into Previous %. The next inspection starts from the new Previous %, and the cycle repeats until every line reaches its Max %.

## Tips

**DO**
- Check that lines with 0.00% Available are not drawn again.
- Plan the budget categories early, because Max % comes from the budget.

**WATCH FOR**
- Changing a budget line's share affects jobs already ordered.

## Troubleshooting

**Q: What is Available %?**
A: Max % minus Previous %: what is left to draw on the line.

**Q: Can an inspector go over what is left?**
A: No. Current % can't exceed Available %.

**Q: When does Current become Previous?**
A: When the inspection is approved.
