This screen provides the ability to manage the subcontractors for a project.

If a new supplier is added to BuildPro via integration, that supplier will appear in the master list of excluded subcontractors and will require being mapped to the appropriate cost code(s).
Once they have been mapped to a bid group(s), they will then appear on the excluded list on this page. If a supplier has not been unlocked for bidding, they will not be eligible to be move to the Included list. The user may select which subcontractors they want to include or exclude.
