Estimate Vendor Line Item Overview

Vendor line items enable you to add the cost of working with a development partner to an estimate. The vendor line item amount is added to the total amount and cost of the estimate, as well as to the Vendor Line Item Total Bill Amount and Vendor Line Item Total Cost Amount fields.

When creating a project from an estimate, a budget with a type of "Vendor Purchase Order" is created for each account associated with a vendor line item. For more information, see Creating a Project from an Estimate.
