Issue/Symptom/Question

Can we have the status on a subcontract default to pending when a subcontract is initially setup?

Accounts Payable > Setup > Hold Information > Automated Hold Reasons

Resolution/Fix/Answer

PENTA defaults the subcontract status based on your usage of the 'Subcontract Status Is Pending' hold reason within the Accounts Payable module:

• If you are using the ''Subcontract Status Is Pending' hold reason, PENTA defaults the Subcontract status as 'Pending'.
  • If using this hold reason, PENTA will place any SC-related AP invoices on hold until the PO status has been updated to Active at which point the hold is released.
• If you are not using the ''Subcontract Status Is Pending' hold reason, PENTA defaults the Subcontract status as 'Active'.
