Subcontractor Compliance

SUGGESTED

We currently wait until fully executed commitments and commitment change orders are returned to our Company before checking the "Revise Commitment" box.  Until that time, the commitments do not appear as "committed" on our job reports and we are unable to post invoices against them.  We have made a corporate decision to check the "Revise Commitment" box when we send out the commitment for signature instead of waiting until it's physically returned.  This allows us to enter invoices rather than hold them until we actually receive the executed commitment back from the sub/vendor.  What we don't want to do is to actually pay an invoice before the executed commitment is returned.  Is there a way in Sage to do this?

    What application are you using? - "Revise Commitment"  is not a standard field name.  Commit is standard

    We are using Project Management (Commitment CO task).  On that screen, there are 2 check boxes ("Release to Accounting" and "Revise Commitment").

    You are right. Accounts Payable will not be able to invoice the commitment until you have checked the “Revise Commitment” check box and updated the Job Cost commitment record.

    There is not an automated warning or error message to stop payment of an invoice entered meeting a specified criteria. You could have someone manually put an invoice or distribution on hold. See the article How do I change the hold status of an Accounts Payable invoice distribution? for more details. They probably would need to run a custom report prior to entering invoices or printing checks.

    Another tool that might prove useful could be the Sage MyAssistant product. Sage MyAssistant is a proactive reporting tool that integrates with Sage 300 CRE and actively searches for specific circumstances.

    You can create a task that could run on demand or schedule it to run, perhaps daily, to email one or more people in your company that an invoice is selected for payment or an invoice has been paid on a commitment comparing to a check box you mark on the commitment or a custom field check box designating that the executed commitment was received .
