Add Supplier to Sub Contract

Explanation

This activity is used to add one or more suppliers to a sub contract. A supplier can be added directly in the header of the Sub Contract window or in the Sub Contract/Supplier tab.

If only one supplier is to be added, this supplier can be entered in the Supplier ID field found in the header of the window.
If more than one supplier is to be added, these suppliers need to be entered in the Supplier tab.

Invitations to tender and consequently awarding the sub contract requires at least one supplier to be added to the sub contract.

Note: If a supplier income type(s) has been specified for an existing contract item, this supplier income type(s) must be valid for the supplier. If not, the supplier cannot be saved on the contract.

If a supplier is entered on the header of the Sub Contract window, this supplier is automatically added to the Supplier tab.
If both the company and the supplier added are running the Sales Tax regime, the contract item inherits the sales tax rates of the supplier.
