Enable or Disable the Subcontractor BOQ Tab on the Commitments Tool

Objective

To enable or disable the Subcontractor BOQ tab on the project's Commitments tool. 

Background

In Procore's Commitments tool, the Subcontractor BOQ tab provides contractors who perform project work with a place to enter a detailed BOQ breakdown about a commitment. 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:

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

Once enabled, the line items on the Subcontractor BOQ tab are automatically included in your project's subcontractor payment applications. To learn more, see About Subcontractor Payment applications.
