Validation errors occur when data doesn't meet required criteria, such as math mismatches or missing required fields. This guide helps you identify and fix common validation issues.
Common Validation Errors
SOV Total Mismatch
Schedule of Values total doesn't match the contract amount.
Solution: Adjust line items or verify contract amount is correct.
G702 Math Error
Pay application calculations don't add up correctly.
Solution: Review each line of the G702. RIVET shows which calculation failed.
Retainage Mismatch
Calculated retainage differs from the expected amount.
Solution: Verify retainage percentage settings and any manual adjustments.
Progress Exceeds 100%
A line item shows more than 100% complete.
Solution: Review the line item's work completed and previous applications.
Change Order Not Reflected
Approved change order isn't showing in contract sum.
Solution: Ensure the change order status is "Approved" and refresh the pay app.
Resolving SOV Issues
When your SOV total doesn't match the contract:
- Navigate to the project's Schedule of Values
- Compare the SOV total at the bottom to the contract amount
- Check for missing line items or incorrect values
- Review change orders that may affect the contract sum
- Adjust line items until the total matches

Fixing G702 Calculation Errors
The AIA G702 has nine lines that must calculate correctly:
Line 5 = Line 3 + Line 4
Line 6 = Line 1 - Line 5
Line 7 = Retainage calculated from G703
Line 8 = Line 5 - Line 7
Line 9 = Line 8 - Previous net paid
If any of these don't balance, RIVET will highlight the specific line with the error. Review the underlying data and correct as needed.
