Setting up subcontract types

You can create a list of subcontract types, allowing you to categorize your subcontracts. A general contractor, for example, might create types to track electrical, plumbing, and roofing subcontractors.

The following is an example of subcontract types:

To set up subcontract types:

1 Open 6-7-1 Subcontracts.
2 Next to the Type list, click the detail button.
3 In the Subcontract Type# cell, enter the type number.
4 In the Type Name cell, enter a description of the purchase type.
5 Repeat steps 3–4 for each type.
6 On the File menu, click Save.
