Document transmittal notes are of immense importance in the project as they are the contractual documents via which the transfer of ownership happens in the project. There are rules that states that if the document is received, it needs to be commented within say 14 calender days or 10 working days. The computation of these days commence from the date on which the letter of transmittal was issued or received (as the protocol may be in projects as people sometimes tend to predate the document transmittal note - if paper based).

If there are any delays in receiving the comments, it may affect the project schedule. These dates are computed on the basis of the document transmittal note dates. Hence, Document Transmittal Notes - at the time of arbitration or legal proceedings - serve as evidence.
