Advance Billing Overview for Prime Subcontractors

As a Prime Subcontractor, you can use the Advance Billing project setting to bill for more than 100% on a subcontract component. You can also use it to bill a negative percent complete on self-performed work.

If you select the Advance Billing setting on the Project Settings page, your Billing Workflow includes subcontracted line items.

Why Use Advance Billing?

To receive more money at the beginning of the project
To easily invoice for a Sub-Tier Subcontractor or Supplier, even if the Sub-Tier has not yet invoiced or submitted a late invoice

Your Billing Workflow

Advance Billing changes the behavior of the Progress tab of your Billing Workflow. Subcontractors have the ability to bill a component to the General Contractor for an amount greater than the Self-Performed amount. This ability does not depend on the amount a Sub-Tier billed or whether an invoice was received for that component.
