We had this functionality in Streetsmarts. Many times, in the field, it is decided that although Subcontractor A has an item, because Subcontractor B is on site and available, 'B' will do a portion of a phase that wasn't originally contracted. An item that consists of 1000 TONS becomes split between Subcontractor B who should get 100 TONS and Subcontractor A should get the rest (including any overrun). I create a new phase for A that says "Less Tonnage done by B" for a negative price and let the original Job billing quantity flow to them as normal, however Subcontractor B needs that phase added to his Subcontract to allow the 100 TONS and then turned off so that no more imports and pays. Making the phase inactive ruins the phase for A. The AP Company parameter of turning off quantities when subcontract level is reached would NEVER work for us. So it really is necessary to have this control within the Subcontract. We are constantly running into this issue already.

I am in total agreement but I would propose that Subcontractor A and B each have their own phase code tied to the bid item.
BID ITEM: 100 1000 cy
Sub A Phase 2500.1 900 cy tied to Bid Item 100
Sub B Phase 2500.2 100 cy tied to Bid Item 100
Then bid quantities should consider phase qtys for each subcontractor. Perhaps have a precedence or order field on the phase so Sub B is considered first then Sub A gets the balance.
