The Distributions tab in PM Subcontracts allows you to set up contacts that should receive communications related to the subcontract.

You will generally include the vendor specified on the subcontract in the distributions list; however, you can set up any firm/contact for the project who should receive any communications about the subcontract.

Contacts are automatically set up on this tab in one of two ways:

• If the vendor you specify on the subcontract is set up as a firm for the project (in PM Project Firms), and contacts are set up for the firm, the system automatically adds the first contact in the list as a contact for the subcontract.

• If a contact is set up as a default contact (in Assign Distribution Defaults) for the document type associated with the subcontract, they are added to the Distribution list. For example, if you specify SL as the document type for the subcontract, and the contact is set up as a contact for Document Category "Subcontract" and Document Type "SL", that contact is auto-added to the Distributions list..

You can also manually add contacts to the distributions list directly in the Distributions tab. For more information, see Add Contacts to a Distribution List.

You can have the ‘Send To’ information for contacts print on the subcontract by adding the merge fields to the Subcontract document template in PM Document Templates (Merge Fields tab).
