Subcontract Negative Totals for Backcharges

Hi, we have a subcontract that incurred backcharges for scope that was bought out by another company that ran the subcontract total amount into the negative. We recently changed our ERP to Acumatica and we are looking to track this backcharge but cannot process the change orders that run the subcontract into the negative.

How can I track this negative commitment amount for my project buyout summary?

ex. Subcontract A issued for $5,000. Subcontractor A failed to perform work and another Subcontractor B bought their contract for $5,100. We need to process a deductive change order for the buyout amount to accurately track the money owed to us by Subcontractor A for the increased cost of Subcontractor B.

@rconandrewl have you come up with a solution here to date?

@klucander16 No, we’re still a bit backwards on getting the project details accurately recorded for internal projections. We have been tracking the backcharge offline, but we are still actively trying to use our gained understanding of the Construction module to get it applied.

@rconandrewl you may be able to create a debit memo in AP first to the subcontract agreement and then the system should allow you to use that as a commitment change order.  this has worked for me in the past.  I recommend testing this out in a test tenant before doing it in production to verify results
