Video - InEight Control - Tracking Vendor Hours

TRANSCRIPT

In InEight control you can assign vendors to individual cost items to indicate that a certain scope of work will be completed by a third party vendor. That vendor can then be used in daily planning. In control navigate to the C B S tab. Navigate to the assigned vendor column and select a vendor from the dropdown list.

This vendor assignment will allow you to track hours and progress in InEight control. Click on the assigned button once you are done. In InEight progress when you add or edit a daily plan, there is an associated vendor field at the bottom of the add and edit daily plan dialogue boxes. Select a vendor from the dropdown list.

Available vendors are populated based on vendor associations for your project in control. To add a vendor to the time sheet tab of a daily plan, click add tasks and resources and then click vendors in the slide out panel. Select vendors from the left side of the panel and then click done. With a vendor resource you can add vendor labor hours to task in the same way as other resources by clicking in the empty tile that corresponds to that vendor and task In the vendor Labor hours dialogue box.

Enter the hours work for the applicable resource codes. The total hours worked is shown in the vendor and task tiles. Once the daily plan is approved, the hours will appear in control in the actual vendor man house column, and the headcount will be available for reporting from progress. Well, that covers how to associate vendors to a cost item and view the subcontracted hours for particular cost item.

Thanks for watching.
