Add Project Activity to Sub Contract

Explanation

Project activities can be used to execute/perform work on a sub contract. Therefore, project activities can be connected to line items of a sub contract. However, only one activity can be defined as the default activity for a sub contract. This default activity will be used to report cost from all the items that have not been connected to an activity.

Prerequisites

• The sub contract header and line items should exist.
• The project should belong to the same company as the sub contract.

System Effects

• An activity is added to the sub contract.
