Viewing and approving a final Achievement and Payment Declaration in CQRS National

At the end of each payment period, a provisional payment is calculated from the submitted achievement data. To be sure the payments are accurate, they are reviewed and agreed upon by the Service Provider and Commissioning Organisation before being paid.

Once approved and submitted by the Service Provider, you will receive a task notification on the Home screen of CQRS and by email (based on your notification preferences) that the achievement and payment declaration is available for approval or finance approval. 

This job aid is aimed at Commissioning Organisations with the role of ‘Approval Management’ and/or ‘Finance Management’ who approve final achievement and payment declarations.

  • The Quality Service achievement data cannot be manually extracted.
  • There is a technical issue that prevents automatic extracts.

This job aid is aimed at Service Providers with the role of ‘Achievement Entry’ who input achievement data manually.
