To set up subcontractors, you use vendors. You can create a new vendor or mark an existing vendor as subcontractor.

For more information on setting up and maintaining vendors, refer to Maintaining vendor information.

Standard procedure

1.	Go to Accounts payable > Vendors > All vendors.
2.	In the list, find and select the desired record.
3.	Click Edit.
4.	Expand the Subcontracting section.
5.	Select Yes in the Subcontractor field.

Notes

• You can review the list of subcontractors here: Project management and accounting -> Setup -> Advanced project management -> Subcontract -> Subcontractors. All vendors with the subcontract setup are automatically listed here.
• If you hire external workers as subcontractor workers, for each subcontractor, define the applicable Wage control ledger dimension on the Subcontractors form. This is used if a related subcontractor worker posts hours on an hour journal or timesheet. This ledger dimension replaces the standard payroll allocation.
