Manage Subcontractor Progress Payments

Use this screen to maintain the subcontractor progress payments file, which is used by projects that bill using government form 1443, Contractor's Request for Progress Payment.

You fill in this screen manually during Costpoint initialization; it is then automatically updated each period by the Update Subcontractor Progress Payments process. During that process, this screen is updated with data from the Open Billing Detail file and the voucher and check history files. This process is executed at month end to update subcontractor invoices that have been entered and paid through Accounts Payable. This process is necessary because subcontractor costs are treated separately from other transaction types on form 1443. When you calculate the progress payment bills, Costpoint obtains subcontractor costs from this screen instead of Open Billing Detail, which is the source of all other transactions. Since form 1443 treats subcontractor costs different from all other costs, every organization billing progress payments must maintain and update this table regardless of status (large or small business).

This screen is updated only for projects that have a progress payment billing formula. It reviews transactions from Open Billing Detail that have been charged to accounts identified as company-wide subcontractor accounts on the Manage Billing Accounts screen. The voucher history files (VCHR_HDR_HS and VCHR_LN_ACCT_HS) are referenced for the selected transactions to obtain information such as the bill type, shipment value, and invoice amount. Payment information is added from the vendor check history files (VEND_CHK and VEND_CHK_VCHR). After this screen is updated, Costpoint deletes the transactions from Open Billing Detail. This screen then becomes a source for lines 9, 10, and 14 of the form 1443.

Most of the fields on this screen are editable; those that are not are noted in the documentation.

For more information, see the "Progress Payment Bills" topic.

Update this screen before executing the Calculate Progress Payment Bills screen.
