Adding Vendors Using Commitments

Greenlight CM™ runs the Greenlight Accounting Refresh Job Poll job on a regular schedule, importing new commitments and updating data from your accounting system. You can manually import commitments before Greenlight runs this job poll job. 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 can keep track of the subcontract amounts and changes.

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