When nearing the end of a job and where formula E (commitment based accounting) is being used in the BFM PMW's there is no easy way to see the subcontract commitment remaining value across all subcontractors on a job.
The user currently has to go to SC Enquiry - filter by job (and subbie of desired) - download to excel - add a column that deducts "Current Sum" from Authorised" and then sort for any lines that have no value and add zero's.
PO commitment remaining values are easily identified and the user should have the same ability with SC commitments.
To make a job financially complete all SC remaining values need to be cleared. The user currently has to apply a type 1 variation linked to the relevant SC agreement line item to clear the remaining value. I find the user just leaves these and changes the formula in the PMW to H to achieve what they want as they are not thinking about making the job financially complete.
We then progress to the option of having a bulk SC commitment complete feature and this is good in theory but potentially dangerous in practice. Restricting this feature to system administrators or company jobpac champions would work.
