Enable or Disable the Subcontractor BOQ Tab on a Commitment

Objective

To enable (or disable) the Subcontractor BOQ tab on a purchase order or subcontract.

Background

In Procore's Commitments tool, the Subcontractor Bill of Quantities (Subcontractor BOQ) tab provides contractors who perform project work with a place to enter a detailed BOQ breakdown about a purchase order or subcontract. The Subcontractor BOQ is separate from the general BOQ tab on a commitment. Once completed,  the line items on the Subcontractor BOQ can be submitted for review and approval of the work.  By default, the Subcontractor BOQ tab is enabled in Procore's Commitments tool.

You can enable or disable the Subcontractor BOQ tab on:

• An individual purchase order or subcontract. For instructions, see below. 
• All of the purchase orders and subcontracts in the project's Commitments tool. For instructions, see Enable or Disable the Subcontractor BOQ Tab on the Commitments Tool.

Once enabled, the data entered by users on the Subcontractor BOQ tab is automatically included in your project's subcontractor payment applications. To learn more, see About Subcontractor Payment applications.
