For head contractors

If you're the contractor running the project — the customer of the subcontractor — this is your section. You'll work primarily in NetSuite (Project Financials), with occasional cross-over to Connect for assessing claims that subs have submitted from their phones.

What you'll do here

• Create a subcontract — set up a new subcontract on a project, including the Schedule of Values
• Approve a subcontract variation — review and approve scope changes with full delta context
• Raise a back-charge — reverse a previously-approved variation or deduct cost from a sub
• Assess a subcontractor claim — review a claim line-by-line, issue a Payment Schedule, convert to a Vendor Bill

Where head contractors work

Most of your work happens inside NetSuite, on the Subcontract record, Variation record, and Claim record. Claims can also be assessed in the Connect web app — both surfaces talk to the same underlying record. NetSuite is the source of truth; whatever you do in Connect shows up in NetSuite immediately, and vice versa.

Requires

• Project Financials installed and configured — see Install & configure
• The Subcontracts feature enabled for your subsidiary (opt-in — contact your FullClarity customer success contact)
• An active project — see Create a project
• The vendor exists as a Subcontractor-flagged Vendor record in NetSuite

A note on jurisdictions

The Subcontracts feature supports four compliance models — AU SOP Act, NZ CCA, UK HGCRA, and US General (plus None for projects where no statutory framework applies). Your subsidiary's Compliance Model drives the response document format (Payment Schedule in AU/NZ, Pay Less Notice in UK) and the statutory response window. Detail by jurisdiction is in Subcontract states.
