Running Account bills pulled from actual certified BOQ progress, with retention posted as a real ledger entry — so outstanding amounts and retention receivable are always visible, not reconstructed at collection time.
A common gap in construction billing: retention gets subtracted as a percentage line on the invoice, but is never tracked afterward as an actual receivable — so nobody has a clean running total of how much retention is currently locked up across all active projects until someone manually compiles it. Rebota's RA billing posts retention to its own ledger account at the point of billing, so that number is always current.
RA bills pull from the same Measurement Book data that BOQ and site execution feed — certified quantities against BOQ line items, not a manually assembled bill that has to be cross-checked against site records separately. GST-compliant invoicing and e-way bill generation happen in the same flow.
Contractors currently billing from manually compiled spreadsheets, with retention tracked only as a percentage note rather than a real receivable balance.
A business with no RA-billing structure (single lump-sum contracts, no progress billing) has less need for this specific workflow.
Dedicated invoicing-only platforms with deeper multi-currency or international billing support may suit businesses whose billing needs extend well beyond Indian RA-billing/retention conventions.
A single small project with one or two bills total can reasonably stay on a spreadsheet.
For contractors doing genuine progress billing with retention, this closes the gap between "what was certified" and "what shows up as a trackable receivable" — a gap most spreadsheet-based billing leaves open.
Review outstanding retention receivable as a real, standing balance — not a percentage buried in old invoices — so a negotiation for early release or a bank-guarantee substitution is based on an accurate current number.
