Project Subcontracting in Business Central enables accurate tracking, invoicing, and validation of subcontracted project work. This includes:
- Logging subcontractor usage from journals, time sheets, and expense sheets
- Creating subcontractor statements
- Generating self-billing invoices
- Matching vendor invoices with statements
- Producing formatted statement reports
There are two supported processes for handling subcontractor billing:
- Self-billing allows you to generate purchase invoices based on approved subcontractor statements. This ensures internal control over invoicing and simplifies the payment workflow. Learn more.
- Invoice matching is used when subcontractors send their own invoices, and you want to validate them against recorded project usage. It helps confirm that the invoiced amount aligns with approved work and allows for tolerance-based checks. Learn more.
Both methods ensure accurate financial tracking and prevent duplicate billing for the same work.
This documentation covers each part of the process, from setup to automation.
