Adding Vendors Using Commitments

 

Greenlight CM™ runs a service on a scheduled interval importing new commitments and updating imported accounting data. You can manually import commitments before Greenlight CM™ runs this import. If a vendor was already added, you can add a vendor to a job if there is a vendor commitment.

 

Important

Even if a vendor was added to the job, it is essential to match the commitment to the vendor so Greenlight CM™ can keep track of the subcontract amounts and changes.

If any changes occur to a match contact in the accounting system, Greenlight CM™ will update the changes. This information may be used on lien waiver reports and lien waiver forms.
