Manage submittals to an Advance Bill job

A submittal is a package of information exchanged between a steel detailer and a fabricator through Tekla Connector. You can view a list of all submittals to a job. You can also synchronize submittals, view and modify the details of each submittal, and import the submittal.

Note: The Advance Bill workflow only works for basic steel beams and plates. Therefore, you cannot add other materials or special objects like polybeams, bent plates, lofted plates, or spiral beams.
  1. Open a job.

    If there are outstanding submittals, a notification appears in the upper left of the job dialog.
