Establish a Vendor Employee Work Force

Follow a few steps to set up a vendor employee work force.

To establish a vendor employee work force:

  1. On the Manage Vendors screen, set up vendor employees. 

    After vendor employees are established, they automatically display in the Vendor Employees group box where they can be selected to be part of the vendor employee work force for a particular project.

  2. On the Assign PLC to Vendor Employee Work Force subtask of the Manage Vendor Employee Work Force screen, link PLCs to the vendor employees after you have established the vendor work force in this screen. 

    You can assign multiple PLCs to a single vendor employee, but only one PLC can be the default. The PLCs assigned in that screen are the only PLCs valid for a particular vendor employee.

  3. On the Link PLC Rates to Employee/Vendor screen, assign labor rates to the PLCs by vendor employee.
  4. Complete these steps before you enter subcontract labor for this project.
