Frequently Asked Questions

Unanet lets you generate a subcontractor vendor invoice from matched transactions in a few clicks instead of re-keying invoices that subs email over as PDFs. When a subcontractor's approved time or expense is tied to a purchase order, Unanet matches it to the PO and creates the vendor invoice automatically—and for paper invoices that still come in, AP automation uses OCR to read and capture the data so your team isn't typing it by hand.

Yes. Subcontractors log in to a separate, compartmentalized portal—not your full ERP—where they only see and do what you allow, while everything they enter flows into your system live. They can complete timesheets and expense reports against the projects they're assigned to, submit through your approval workflow, and use the Unanet GovCon mobile app, so you capture subcontractor labor at the source without exposing your internal data, rates, or other vendors.

Unanet reflects subcontractor time and expense in real time the moment it's entered, so subcontractor labor and cost appear on your project reports alongside your internal labor without waiting for an invoice. Because data input anywhere shows up everywhere, project managers can run a project status report or job summary at any time and see committed, incurred, and remaining subcontractor cost—turning subcontractor spend from a month-end surprise into a live number.

Yes. Unanet ties subcontractor work to a purchase order with defined hours, rates, and dollars, and can hard-stop time entry or invoicing once an authorized limit is reached. You decide how much control to apply—set a not-to-exceed by hours or dollars, prevent vendor invoices from exceeding the PO, and trigger alerts when a threshold (for example, 75% of funded value) is hit—so a subcontractor knows to request more funding before you're over ceiling.

Unanet lets you assign FAR, DFARS, and agency-specific clauses to a contract and flow the relevant ones down onto the subcontractor purchase order, with preset rules and defaults for DCAA, FAR, and CMMC. The full FAR clause list can be bulk-imported and DFARS or custom clauses appended, and because subcontractor onboarding, time, cost, and POs live in one system, you maintain the centralized, traceable records that support DCAA and purchasing (CPSR) audit readiness.

Unanet is purpose-built for government contractors, connecting subcontractor onboarding, timekeeping, purchase orders, funding, and AP in one platform designed around GovCon compliance and cash-flow realities. Rather than tracking subcontractor hours, funding, and invoices across spreadsheets and email, Unanet enforces a PO-driven three-way match (purchase order, approved time, vendor invoice), surfaces real-time subcontractor cost, manages FAR/DFARS flow-down, and streamlines payment—reducing the administrative overhead and revenue leakage buyers commonly cite with manual processes.
