Specified Billing and Advance Billing

Specified Billing

A General Contractor can use the Specified Billing setting to enter an invoice on behalf of a Subcontractor. As a Subcontractor, you approve and sign the invoice from your Billing Workflow. If the project includes Specified Billing, you cannot enter or modify invoice details.

Advanced Billing

If a subcontract includes Advance Billing, you may bill for Sub-Tier costs in your Billing Workflow. You can invoice for a Sub-Tier even if the Sub-Tier does not invoice or submits a late invoice.

An amount billed on a component total line can be greater than the self-performed line.
Total amount billed cannot exceed a component's scheduled value.
Note: The Balance to Finish will be negative on the self-performed line.
Sub-Tier amounts remain zero until the Sub-Tier submits an invoice or the Subcontractor enters an amount greater than the self-performed total.
Approved Sub-Tier amounts appear on the Progress tab of your Billing Workflow for reference.
