16.1 Viewing Suppliers
You can view the supplier information for the subdivision or for a specific lot. When you locate a subdivision or a lot, the screen displays all the subcontracts and suppliers for that subdivision or lot, respectively, based on information from the Bid Subcontract Entry, Commitment Revisions, and Lot Proceed Entry programs. If the Contract Method (CM) field begins with a V, the system displays only suppliers with BC document types in the DT field.

16.2 Changing the Supplier
You can change the supplier from primary to secondary or other. You do this by changing the value in the Contract Method (CM) field. You can only change the supplier if the value in the Contract Method is V. If the value in this field is VP, the supplier displays, but the system prevents you from making changes.
If you specify a contract method of VP on the Bid Subcontract Entry screen, the system assigns this subcontract when you run the Lot Proceed Proof/Post program.
