We’ve noticed that the total funded amount from subcontracts populates in the Job Costs Transactions Summary, “total burdened cost amount” column. Which makes sense but also skews the numbers as option years pass.
Also, in the Job Costs Transactions Detail, the subcontract populates (& decrements as bills are entered), but when the Subcontract is closed, the subcontract funding entry disappears but all the decremental SC entries remain, which makes the detail report not add up correctly when exported to Excel unless you filter to remove all the SC source lines.
When do you find it best practice to close subcontract agreements? We often keep contracts open for years as they get wrapped up, but I’m not certain we want to treat subcontracts the same if it affects the burdened cost. Or is it a good idea to de-obligate funds via change orders as new options come along, just so the total burdened cost is more accurate?
