This chapter contains the topic:
Use the Alternate Subcontract Entry and Alternate Subcontract Search screens to add subcontractors for a new option, such as a cabinet upgrade, to awarded bid subcontracts. You can add an option to multiple bids at the same time. The Alternate Subcontract Entry screen displays all bids with a particular option. From the Alternate Subcontract Entry screen you can access the Alternate Contract Search screen to display all bids that do not include the option. You can select any bid on this screen to enter on the Alternate Subcontract Entry screen. You can also enter bid quantities and amounts, updating multiple bids at once.
If you add a new option to an awarded bid subcontract, you must add a subcontractor to supply the option.
You can enter an asterisk in the Plan and Elevation fields. These are optional fields. If you leave either these fields blank, Previous Sales and Current Sales information are not available on the Alternate Subcontract Entry screen.
