    • Each Claim now records Claimed values and Certified values. Custom reports will be missing the new logic on the standard Payment Certificate reports, where based on the new statuses the report will either read Claimed values (Entered, Ready for Certification, or Sent for Certification - Job Outputs Claimed Values), or Certified Values (any status from In Certification and after - Job Outputs Certified Values). This logic will need to be added to your custom report.
