Use this screen as the first in a three-step process to establish a vendor employee workforce.

Use a vendor employee workforce when you want only specific subcontract employees to work on the project or when you want specific PLCs (Project Labor Categories) to default during data entry.

You can elect to have a vendor employee workforce required or not required. If you make the vendor workforce required, only the vendor employees selected in this screen are valid for charging on this project. You can use the workforce for PLC defaulting whether the workforce is required or not. You can make the vendor employee workforce required by selecting the Project Workforce Required check box on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow screen.  

Vendor employees are often used so that you can print the name of the subcontract employee on the customer’s invoice. If you don’t establish vendor employees, only the name of the subcontractor (vendor) prints on the invoice.
