Portal cutoff
The cutoff was close. The missing handoff came first.
A Drumtap trust walkthrough of what happens when a GC portal cutoff is close, the invoice handoff is incomplete, and the next reconcile has to separate a late row from a missing one.
01 · The situation
A cutoff is approaching.
The invoice is in the books, but the portal export does not yet show whether the pay app was submitted inside this GC’s window.
02 · The reconcile
Late and missing are different.
A portal timestamp that lands in the next cycle points to a late submission. No matching portal row points to a missing handoff that needs attention first.
03 · The next step
Give the row an owner.
The discrepancy tells the team which records to verify next. Any deadline or legal decision remains with the contractor and their counsel.
This is an illustrative scenario, not legal advice or a promise of deadline monitoring. Drumtap’s job is to line up AR and the GC portal so a missing or late row is visible in the next upload compare.
