Updated 1 month ago by Customer Service

Bulk Actions - Commitment - New Subcontract

Change Requests that are in any Status except Void or Rejected, can have Schedule of Values Line Item(s) created on a new Subcontract. See All Change Requests Lists - Bulk Actions - Commitments.

To create a new Subcontract and add the selected Change Request Schedule of Values Line Item(s) to that new Subcontract:

If not already selected, access one of the Change Request Lists and select one or more Line Items, see All Change Request Lists - Bulk Actions - Select Line Items.
Note 1* Do not select any Line Items that have already been created on a Commitment or Commitment Change Order i.e. the Commitment column has a green check mark and a Commitment or Commitment Change Order displayed.
Note 2* Do not select any Line Items that belong to Void or Rejected Change Requests.
Click the Bulk Actions button.
Click the Commitment menu option.
Click here for more information on why the Commitments menu on the Bulk Actions Option may not be available

If the Commitments menu option is grayed out and not available:

One or more Line Items may have already been created on a Commitment or Commitment Change Order (i.e. the Commitment column has a green check mark and a Commitment or Commitment Change Order displayed).
OR
One or more Line Items selected belong to a Void or Rejected Change Request.

Unselect those Lines Items already created on a Commitment or Commitment Change Order or that belong to a Rejected or Void Change Request then invoke the Commitments menu option again.

If a Commitment is displayed but there is no green check mark, it is a reference only and the Line Item can still be selected and created on a Commitment or Commitment Change Order. The current Commitment will be replaced by the Commitment or Commitment Change Order the Line Item is created on.
Click the New Subcontract option.

The Contracted Company is a required field and must be entered before the Subcontract can be saved.

The Sub Job (if used), the Cost Code and Cost Type are copied from the Change Request Schedule of Values Line Item and can not be changed. Note* The above example does not show Sub Jobs (if they were used they would display as the first column after the Line Number, see Sub Jobs - Overview).

The Description is copied but can be changed.

If the Accounting Method is Amount Based, the Revenue is copied to the Amount for the new Line Item. The Amount can be changed.

If the Accounting Method is Qty-Unit Based, the Quantity, Unit of Measure and Unit Price are copied to the new Line Item. The Quantity, Unit of Measure and Unit Price can be changed.

The Tax Code is copied but can be changed. (The Tax Amount is calculated by multiplying the Tax Code percent on the Amount or the Qty multiplied by the Unit Price).
NOTE 1* Once a Line Item from a Change Request has been added to a Subcontract (and the Subcontract and its Schedule of Values saved) the Change Request Schedule of Values Line Item will be linked with the Subcontract and it can not be added to another Commitment or Commitment Change Order. The Line item can be deleted from the Subcontract and it will be automatically removed from the Line Item on the Change Request (i.e. it will no longer display in the Commitment column for the Line Item, but the rest of the Line Item is not impacted. It can then be added to a different Commitment or Commitment Change Order (see Commitment - Schedule of Values - Delete Line Item).
Note 2* Even though the Line Items from the Change Request are displayed on the Subcontract, this is a working session and the Subcontract and its Schedule of Values must still be saved to save those Line Items.
