7.05 Defining sub-contractor’s approval procedures

What is the “Approval Procedures” for sub-contractors #

Same as Customer-Supplier, as a service supplier you can design some approval procedures for your sub-contractors. To get some basic information about approval procedures, you can visit the “1.04 Approval procedures and working with them” page.

We have only one approval  procedure that you can control; progress payments approval procedure. You can use different procedures for every different sub-contractor. So, in order to see the procedure management screen, first you will need to select one of your sub-contractors from the drop-down menu.

Approval process of sub-contractor progress payments #

With this process, you can decide how to handle the progress payments sent by the sub-contractors. You can manage them in 4 ways;

  1. Do not use an approval procedure – With this option, every progress payment sent by the sub-contractor will be approved automatically and this work order will become “Approved”
  2. Manager AND executive approval – With this option, every progress payment sent by the sub-contractor must be approved by the related Manager AND Executive Manager, in order. 
  3. Manager OR executive approval (with an option to executive approval request) With this option, every progress payment sent by the sub-contractor must be approved by the related Manager OR Executive Manager. One of them can approve the progress payment sent by the sub-contractor. Additionally, managers can ask for additional approval from the executive manager.
  4. Manager OR executive approval (without an option to executive approval request) – With this option, every progress payment sent by the sub-contractor must be approved by the related Manager OR Executive Manager. One of them can approve the progress payment sent by the sub-contractor.
