The most common progress billing format in U.S. commercial construction is the AIA pair: the G703 continuation sheet, which carries the detail, and the G702 Application and Certificate for Payment, which carries the totals.
The G703 has one row per SOV line. For each line you show the scheduled value, work completed from previous applications, work completed this period, materials presently stored (not yet installed), the total completed and stored to date, the percentage complete, the balance to finish and, where the rate varies, retainage.
The G702 rolls those columns up. It starts with the original contract sum, adds the net change by change orders to get the contract sum to date, then shows total completed and stored to date, subtracts retainage to get total earned less retainage, subtracts previous certificates for payment, and lands on the current payment due. The architect (or owner's rep) reviews it and certifies the amount.
Most rejections are mechanical: math that does not tie between the two forms, percentages that do not match what the field sees, change orders billed before they are executed, or missing backup such as lien waivers. Get the mechanics right and the conversation is about the work, not the paperwork.
