Project can have sub-contractors with contra material purchase by main contractor to buy on behalf. Let's say user is a main contractor and has a project but outsource to sub contractors. Sub contractors would like the main contractor to purchase on behalf their materials so that they can do their work. This plugin can solve this, consolidate all documents under the same Project ID, and auto generate the Credit Memo when the Materials is Received without redundant work. Download the jar from

First, create a project with Sales Rep, PriceList, BP and Location specified (BP probably is Standard or own because this is an internal Project reference).

Then go to the Sub-Contractor tab and fill in just the Sub-Contractor's name. Save and go to Materials tab. Just save it without keying anything, and go to the underlying Materials Line tab. Fill in two items, in this case Elm Tree and Oak for 5 items each. Save, and go back and you see the Material tab populated automatically. If you have more than one supplier, you have to specify one of them first. The system will check if it is one of the supplier list to that product. User must separate out different suppliers via different Material records.

DO NOTE THAT THROUGH-OUT THE PROCESS, THE PROJECT ID IS AUTO CAPTURED AND PASSED ALONG TO ALL DOCUMENTS SO THAT IN THE END PROPER PROJECT BASED ACCOUNTING CAN HAPPEN.
The beauty of the Project schema is you can continue managing many sub-contractors or each one keep ordering and Project will remember things such as:
