About Entering Add-on Items
Add-on items are entered in SL Subcontract Entry and are used to handle additions and deductions that should be separated from other items on a subcontract.
Add-on items are similar to regular subcontract items in that they have original, current, and invoiced costs; they can have change order detail; and they update committed costs in Job Cost. The most common use of this line type is for subcontractor bonds.
When entering an add-on item, specify a valid Add-on# (as set up in SL Add-ons). The description, percentage or amount, and phase/cost type assigned to the add-on will be used as defaults in this form.
Percent add-ons default an amount based on the percent specified and the total of all regular items on the subcontract. For example:
Subcontract Total: | $50,000 | |
Add-on %: | –2.00 | |
Add-on Amount: | $–1,000 | ($50,000 ´ –2.00%) |
Amount type add-ons default the fixed amount specified in SL Add-ons, which may be overridden.
