Contractors live on the margin between what the client pays and what sub-contractors invoice. Rebaar tracks both sides on one project — client-side RA bills (your income) and sub-contractor bills (your cost) — so the margin per project is always visible, not discovered at year-end.
What you actually get
Client-side RA bills with retention
Cumulative running-account bills with line items, retention percent, mobilisation advance recovery, previous-bill carry-forward.
Sub-contractor bills with 3-way match
PO → GRN/work-done certification → sub-contractor bill. The 3-way match prevents paying for work you didn't receive or above the agreed PO rate.
Retention from sub-contractors
You hold retention from your sub-contractors symmetric to what the client holds from you. The hold is released on the same milestone trigger.
Project margin live
Client bills receivable - sub-contractor bills payable - direct cost = project margin. Visible from project view, updated on every transaction.
GST e-Invoice & e-Way Bill
IRN on every B2B invoice above turnover threshold. e-Way Bill for material movements. Bring-your-own GSP credentials.
Tally export

Frequently asked questions
Does Rebaar handle sub-contractor payments?
Yes. The Accounts Payable suite (Growth plan and above) handles POs to sub-contractors, work-done GRNs, sub-contractor bills with 3-way match, retention hold-back, and payment disbursement.
How does retention work in Rebaar?
Retention is a configurable percentage per BOQ line or per bill. The retained amount is tracked separately as a contra-asset, released on a configurable trigger (date or milestone). The same mechanism works symmetrically for retention you hold from sub-contractors.
Can I see project margin in real time?
Yes. Each project view shows: client billings (less client retention), minus sub-contractor billings (plus sub retention you hold), minus direct cost (materials, labour, equipment) = net project margin. Updated on every transaction.
Can clients approve bills before payment?
Yes. The client portal (`/client-signoff/<token>`) gives the client a token-authenticated view of pending bills. They can approve/reject digitally with reason, or print and sign physically. Either way the audit trail records the approval.
How is this different from Tally for contractors?
Tally handles the journal but doesn't know about RA bills, retention, BOQ-linked progress billing, milestones, or sub-contractor 3-way match. You'd have to model all of that in narration fields or supplementary spreadsheets — which means it's not in the books and not in any report. Rebaar treats them as first-class objects.
Can my CA access Rebaar?
Yes — invite them as a workspace member with the Accountant role. They see the ledger, GST reports and audit log. They don't see site photos or HR records they don't need.
Bill clients on time. Pay sub-contractors right. See margin live.
