Accounts Payable: Subcontract Report

The Subcontract Report contains information about subcontracts on a job. This information includes past payments, backcharges, retention, check numbers, and dates. This report may be used to determine a payment schedule for subcontracts.

A detailed listing of every invoice and change order that has been entered into the system for each subcontract will be printed. All entries are totaled to give the current payment status. A summary listing prints a one line summary of the current payment status. After selecting the Subcontract Report option from the Accounts Payable Reports Menu, the following screen will come into view.

 

Click on any column header to sort the listed items. This will be useful when the list of reports has grown.
