Backcharges are billings for work performed or costs incurred by one party that, in accordance with the agreement, should have been performed or incurred by the party being billed. Centex will bill back charges to contractors, and contractor’s bill back charges to other contractors through Centex. Examples of back charges include charges for cleanup work or to repair something damaged by another subcontractor, such as a tub chip or broken window. EV2 does not include the backcharge transaction in the budget but it does provide a notification report and record keeping functionality. Backcharges may ONLY be created for VPOs.
To create the backcharge record, complete the following steps:
1. Choose the Backcharge link from the VPO detail screen.
2. Click Add VPO Backcharge.
3. Enter the Backcharge Detail information by following the steps below.
