Project bid items are referred to in CCMS as ‘Pay Items’. ‘Sub Items’ can be optionally be used to provide an additional breakdown or break out of a pay item. Each sub-item relates back to the parent pay Item. Use of Sub Items is dependent on the level of accounting and tracking detail required for the project. The list of project Pay and Sub Item records is downloaded and maintained during the tablet Sync process.

Pay item and sub item usage records are added during the IDR entry process, and accessed through the Items tab. Unlike Activities, Equipment and Labor; items are not required to be associated with a specific Crew. However, every IDR item record includes a Crew field, which can be used to link the IDR item to a specific Crew.
