Add Sub-Tier Subcontractor Information to a Subcontractor Invoice
Objective
To add sub-tier subcontractor information to a subcontractor invoice as the invoice contact for a first-tier subcontractor.
Background
To promote transparency and ensure accountability on a job site, General Contractors may be legally required to disclose information about every party hired to work on a project. This requirement may come from a project owner or a regulatory body and often includes disclosing information about the project's first-tier subcontractor and any sub-tier subcontractors.
To ensure the general contractor meets their disclosure requirements, an invoice contact for the first-tier subcontractor adds a list of sub-tier subcontractors to their invoice. Once added, the invoice contact also enters an 'Amount Billed' for each sub-tier subcontractor. When submitting progress bills, each sub-tier subcontractor added remains listed on the first-tier subcontractor's subsequent invoices with a zero ($0.00) amount, until the invoice contact enters the amount billed or the sub-tier subcontractor is removed from an invoice.
