Use the information you received from your contract administrator or project manager to complete the bonds information in Costpoint.
To complete the bonds information:
-
Identify the vendor as a subcontractor in the Subcontractor Payment Control block of the Manage Vendors screen.
-
Choose which date(s) will be used when comparing bond coverage.
-
Link the vendor, project, and type of bond required on the Bonds subtask of the Subcontractor Payment Control block of the Manage Vendor screen.
If the type of bond required is not among the two already loaded into Costpoint (Bid or Performance), you can create the bond type on the Manage Subcontractor Bond Types screen.
-
Include the bond requirement dates on the Bonds subtask of the Subcontractor Payment Control block.
-
Use the
Required for Payment check box to specify whether or not to hold vendor payments if bond coverage is not maintained.
Selecting this check box activates all the validation steps when you pay this vendor.
