Add Project to Sub Contract

Explanation

One or more projects can be used to execute/perform a sub contract and so it is possible to enter several projects on a contract. If a project is added to an item directly, it is required to specify an activity for it. 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 should exist.
• The sub contract and project should belong to the same company.

System Effects

• A project is added to the sub contract.
