# What will AGI do for Payment Application Processing?

## Overview

Commercial subcontractors and general contractors spend days at the end of every billing cycle reconciling payment applications against field progress. To release funds, project accountants must verify line-item completion percentages across hundreds of schedule-of-values entries, calculating exact retainage holdbacks and material-on-site costs. This reconciliation requires cross-referencing field reports, approved change orders, and supplier invoices to ensure the billed amount matches the physical reality of the project.

The friction stems from the mismatch between structured accounting systems and unstructured compliance documentation. Every pay app arrives with a payload of dependent documents, including conditional lien waivers, tiered vendor waivers, and updated insurance certificates. Reviewers manually extract values from these PDFs and compare them against legacy ERP records, frequently rejecting entire applications over minor arithmetic errors or mismatched dates.

Standard accounting software lacks the operational awareness to validate whether a claimed percentage of installation actually occurred. As a result, the approval cycle defaults to human inspection, bouncing drafts back and forth through email chains. This manual verification loop delays cash flow down the entire supply chain, forcing subcontractors to float capital costs for weeks or months while administrative bottlenecks are resolved.
