Vendor Compliance Records

Vendor compliance is the validation that a subcontractor or vendor has provided documents required for a job. For example, the vendor might need to supply proof of insurance, certified reports, lien waivers, or other misc documents like permits, licenses, and so forth.

A compliance record applies a compliance type to a specified vendor or primary document so that you can track dates, amounts, and documents that show compliance.

NOTE: To enable the Vendor Compliance subscription, first enable Accounts Payable, Purchasing, and Construction. Vendor compliance is available only for Construction at this time.

Out-of-compliance error messages

If the vendor specified in a compliance record is out of compliance with the compliance definition (for example, the insurance policy has expired), and the PAYMENTNOTIFICATION is set to error, payments to that vendor will be blocked and an error message will be returned like the example shown to the right.

<error>
    <errorno>CRE-3211</errorno>
    <description></description>
    <description2>Expiration date compliance error CR.01091--General liability insurance</description2>
    <correction></correction>
</error>

where:

  • Expiration date is the validation rule, either Expiration date or Document received
  • error or warning based on the PAYMENTNOTIFICATION setting
  • CR.01091 is the COMPLIANCERECORDID from the compliance record
  • General liability insurance is the NAME from the compliance record
