01
Measure the work
Progress, photos, hours and quantities are captured on site by the supervisor, so the claim is built from a live record, not reconstructed from memory on a Friday.
JKR PROGRESS CLAIMSJKR progress claim software
JKR progress claim software
for Malaysian contractors.
Moorstack assembles JKR-format progress claims from live job data, measured work, materials on site, retention, and previously certified amounts, in under an hour instead of two to three days in Excel. It builds the claim in the format your contract requires (JKR/PWD, PAM, FIDIC, or your own), with the full job record attached for the S.O. to certify. The MyInvois invoice then follows automatically.
HOW A JKR CLAIM WORKS
Claim, certify, invoice.
The mechanics are the same across JKR/PWD, PAM and FIDIC contracts , what changes is the format and the certifier. Moorstack maps both to your firm.
02
Value the claim
Work done this period, plus materials and goods on site, less retention, less previously certified, assembled in the claim format your contract sets.
03
Submit for certification
The package goes to the S.O. (Superintending Officer) with its supporting record attached. Under PWD 203A the interim certificate is due within 14 days of valuation.
04
Invoice against the certificate
Once certified, the MyInvois-compliant invoice generates from the same data, issued the day the work is certified, not three days later.
WHY IT EATS THREE DAYS
The claim is assembled the night before. Every month.
Numbers pulled from a measurement book, a WhatsApp group and last month's spreadsheet. The package takes two to three days to build, then the architect queries half of it anyway. And every day a certified claim sits unsubmitted is a day added to a payment cycle that is already long enough.
That is not a contract problem. It is a record-keeping problem.
WITH MOORSTACK
The claim builds itself from the site record.
And once it's certified, the MyInvois invoice follows from the same data, no re-keying, no reformatting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
JKR claims, answered straight.
How does a JKR progress claim work?
Under JKR/PWD forms (such as PWD 203A in Peninsular Malaysia, or the JKR Sarawak forms), the contractor submits a progress claim valuing the work done that period, measured work plus materials and goods on site, less retention and less amounts already certified. The S.O. (Superintending Officer) values and certifies it and issues an interim certificate; under PWD 203A that is due within 14 days of valuation. The contractor then invoices the employer against the certified amount.
What's the difference between a progress claim and an interim certificate?
The progress claim is the contractor's application for payment for work done in the period. The interim certificate is the S.O.'s certified valuation of that claim, the amount the employer is obliged to pay. You bill against the certificate, not the raw claim. Moorstack keeps the claim, the certified figure, and the resulting invoice linked together so the trail is intact at audit.
Which claim formats does Moorstack support?
Moorstack configures the claim to the format your contract requires, JKR/PWD (including PWD 203/203A and JKR Sarawak forms), PAM, FIDIC, CIDB, or your own house format. The format is set up to your firm's exact requirements during the build, not forced onto a fixed template.
How does Moorstack cut claim prep from days to under an hour?
Because the numbers already exist. Progress, quantities, materials on site and photos are captured on site as the work happens, in one place. When it's time to claim, the platform assembles the certified format from that live data, instead of an admin pulling figures from a measurement book, a WhatsApp group, and last month's spreadsheet the night before submission.
Does it handle retention and materials on site?
Yes. Retention, materials and goods on site, and previously certified deductions are configured to your contract's terms, so each claim values correctly without manual adjustment. When retention is released at the defects-liability stage, that runs through the same record.
How does the certified claim become a MyInvois invoice?
Once the claim is certified, Moorstack generates the invoice in MyInvois format from the same job data, issued individually, as the construction e-invoicing rules require. See MyInvois for contractors for how the e-invoicing side works.
