Franchise reporting deadlines

Keep period end dates and upload due dates in view across assigned franchises. Granite surfaces missing or upcoming reports in operational worklists so teams can prioritize the next upload, open the exact franchise record, and see whether a report is still due, under review, or ready for billing.

What a completed review should leave you with

A prioritized deadline list with one owner, current status, and next action for every due reporting period.

Evidence to collect

  • Period end date, upload due date, and days to or past due.
  • Submission and review status with the latest update time.
  • Named owner and dated follow-up for each exception.

What to do when the review finds a problem

The period has no current submission and its due date has arrived or passed.

Assign an owner and immediate follow-up when a period is missing or overdue.

The period is approaching its upload due date.

Confirm source readiness and contact timing when a period is due soon but not yet late.

A current report exists but its review is incomplete.

Follow the review queue instead of requesting another upload when a report is already submitted or under review.

The worklist item does not open the expected franchise or period.

Resolve the access or record mismatch before assigning work when the affected franchise cannot be confirmed.

A common mistake to avoid

Tracking a calendar reminder without keeping the reporting period end date attached to the work item.

How can teams track franchise reporting deadlines?

Use the reporting worklist to sort attention by due state, open the affected franchise, and verify whether a period is missing, upcoming, under review, or complete. Due dates stay tied to the reporting period end rather than a vague calendar reminder.

Manage the work in Granite
