Bonds Subtask

Use this subtask of the Subcontractor Payment Control block to maintain information regarding subcontractor bonds.

A bond promises reimbursement if an agreement is not fulfilled or a promised payment is not made.

If more than one bond exists for the same vendor/project/bond type combination, click to enter more than one bond on this screen.

When you select the Required for Payment check box, vouchers for this vendor cannot be released for payment until the voucher is evaluated against the required start and end dates, as well as the effective date and expiration date of the bond.

To learn more about subcontractors, see Subcontractors.

Use this subtask when entering information regarding a new bond for a subcontractor.

Two bond types, BID (bid) and PERF (performance), are pre-loaded into Costpoint. For existing vendor/project/bond types, this field is already populated.
Required for Payment	Select this check box to require bond coverage before payment is made to this subcontractor/project/bond type combination. Bond coverage is required for any of this vendor's projects that fall under the selected project.
