'Buyout Items' refer to any type of goods or services on a job that you will be purchasing using an AccuBuild Purchase Order or Subcontract Order. Note: This is NOT the same as a 'buyout' utilizing a Subcontractor Payment Sheet. Refer to the Sub Payment Sheet / Estimate Buyouts documentation for more information.
The buyout process consists of setting up buyout items, purchasing buyout items, and tracking the status of buyout items.
•Setup – Buyout items are set up under the detail items tab of the Job List. You can set the items up manually as detail items using the new Buyout Tab, or you can import a list of buyout items using the Import Estimate option in AccuBuild.
•Purchasing – All buyout items must be purchased using a Purchase Order or a Subcontract Order in the AccuBuild System. As these orders are created, you can simply pick the items to be purchased from a list of items that are tracked on a job by job basis. Note: Make sure the Job feld is set up on the Order Info tab of each job in order to access the buyout items list for that job.
•Tracking – When purchasing a buyout option, the screen will display only the remaining items that have not been purchased previously. This is the default display option however you can display all buyout items by choosing the All Items option on the screen. Use the Bill of Materials Report button on this screen to produce the Status Report for the current job. You may also get a report on multiple jobs using the new MAR Report titled 'Buyout Items Status Report' under the Purchase Order Reports option.
