| Line | Field | Description | Project Tool | Source Field(s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Original Contract Sum | Show the amount recorded in the 'Original Contract Amount' field in the contract. | Main Contracts, Client Contracts, Funding | Original Contract Amount |
| 2 | Net Change by Variations | Shows the total amount of any variations in the Approved status that impact this payment application. | Main Contracts, Client Contracts, Funding, Variations | |
| 3 | Contract Sum to Date (Line 1 ± 2) | Shows the sum or difference of the Original Contract Sum (line 1) combined with the Net Change by Variations amount (line 2).

| 5 | Retention | Shows the percentage of the payment is being withheld until the job is complete. This value is specified in the contract. Typically, the value is between 5% and 10% for each progress payment. Because some regions require variable retention, the 'Retention' amount may only be reduced once a certain percentage of the contract is complete. |
Main Contracts, Client Contracts, Funding | |

A variable retention rate can represent one of two rates: (1) The amount of retention that is reduced after a certain percentage of work is complete or (2) the amount of retention that retention applies only to labour and NOT to materials. Note: If you are withholding a fixed percentage throughout the entire project, you will not use this field. |

| 7 | Less Previous Certifications for Payment (Line 6 from Prior Certificate) | Shows all previous payments for the contract. On the first payment application, this number is zero (0). On subsequent payment applications, the amount matches line 6 on the previous payment application. | Payment Applications | Total Earned Less Retention (from previous payment application) |
