Promote Subcontractor Billings Overview for Subcontractors

As a Prime Subcontractor, use Promote Subcontractor Billing to automatically roll up the Sub-Tier's billing into your progress claim (including retention).

Why Use Promote Subcontractor Billings?

Use this setting to always include Sub-Tier billings.
Avoid using this setting if Sub-Tier retention will be held at a different rate.

When the Promote Subcontract Billings setting is not selected, the whole Prime Subcontractor progress claim is calculated for retention.

Promotion of Approved Subcontractor Billings

Use the Promotion of Approved Subcontractor Billings setting to select how Sub-Tier billings are calculated in the Subcontractor's progress claim.

Amount: Calculates the Sub-Tier costs amount to roll up to the Subcontractor progress claim.
Percent Complete: Calculates the percent complete for the Subcontractor total row by using the percent complete for all summed components.
This option is helpful in instances where mixed units and prices are used.

For example: Use this option when unit priced Sub-Tier line items are rolled up to a lump sum Subcontractor line.
Quantity: Calculates the unit quantity for each component to roll up to the Subcontractor progress claim.
This option is helpful if the Sub-Tier is billing quantities at different rates from you. This option will carry the total of all approved quantities to your component where the price will be calculated by your unit price.
