Built to help you more
efficiently manage accounts and process requests, Microsoft Dynamics
SL 7.0 empowers your employees, managers, customers, and vendors.
Microsoft Dynamics SL helps them increase their effectiveness by
providing the tools they need to view and process data based on the
permissions that you have established for them. Microsoft Dynamics
SL improves your ability to manage by exception, rather than wading
through reams of paper to locate the information you need to make
business decisions.

Pay-subcontractor-when-paid
Link subcontractor and customer work so payment to the
subcontractor is not made until the work has been accepted
by the customer and paid for. Companies often employ
subcontractors to complete tasks or provide materials for
their customer. Often, for cash flow and quality control
reasons, a company does not want to pay the subcontractor
until the end customer has accepted the work and paid the
company. This enhancement will only allow vouchers to be
paid when the associated customer invoice is paid.
