Once the required Subcontractors have been added to your job, you can assign them to the appropriate items.
Subcontract items can be marked up for enquiry and allocated to items globally. The subcontractors can then be selected for use in the job. The process of global Subcontractor selection is covered later in this manual. This section deals only with the selection of Subcontractors individually, item by item. This will help you to understand the global functions more fully later.
Highlight the item in the BoQ Tree that the Subcontractor has priced and click the mouse on the Subcontract tab.
If no previous Subcontractor has been assigned, the Subcontractor fields will be empty. The buttons on the top of the Subcontract tab allows you to execute the following functions:
Assign a new Subcontractor to the item
Delete a Subcontractor from the item
Use the selected Subcontractor for the item
Do not use the selected Subcontractor for the item
