Subcontractors

Subcontracts

Create a contract for each subcontractor from Project → Subcontractors:

• Contract items and values.
• Payment terms and the retention percentage.
• Contract status from signing to closure.

Claims

1. Record the subcontractor's claim by completion percentage or executed quantities.
2. Approve it through a workflow — approval posts an automatic journal entry for the subcontractor's dues.
3. The retention percentage is deducted automatically from every claim.

Payments

Record subcontractor payments linked to the contract and project — every payment:

• Reflects on project cost and profitability.
• Generates an automatic journal entry.
• Updates the subcontractor's position: contract value, executed, paid, and remaining.

Retention

Retention accumulates in a dedicated account per contract, and when the project's final handover completes it is released with an automatic entry — never lost, never forgotten.

Change orders

Document any change to the subcontractor's scope (addition or deduction) with its value and approval cycle — approved changes automatically reflect on the contract value.
