Implementation Plan - Project Financials - 01 - Client Contract Administration - Job Cost Codes, Prime Contract and Original Budgets

Important Things To Know

  • Job Cost Codes and a Prime Contract (aka Client Contract) need to be established before POs, Subcontracts and Timecards can be entered.
  • Original Budgets (ex. contract amount, cost and hours) are part of the Prime Contract and usually setup in the beginning but can be updated later as well.
  • The 'Contract Admin Setup Wizard' can use a Corecon Cost Code Template, Corecon Estimate or Microsoft Excel file to create Job Cost Codes, Prime Contract and Original Budgets. However, the latter option is the preferred method of setting up the initial awarded job in Corecon since estimating is usually implemented last.
  • The Client/Prime Invoice process will dynamically change depending on the contract type: fixed lump sum, cost plus or unit price. Thus, contract type is a very important field on the Prime Contract form.
