Background

An invoice backup generates a PDF copy of a contract's subcontractor invoices and includes them in the backup file as PDF attachments. Users can compile backups in bulk, saving time and eliminating the need to export multiple invoices and manually combine files. Backups can only be compiled from the Subcontractor tab of the Invoicing tool.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions

    • With the Procore + DocuSign© integration, Procore includes the signed DocuSign© invoice once the signature workflow is complete.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Navigate to the project's Invoicing tool.

     Note

    For a successful compile, place all of the contract's previously invoiced billing periods into the Closed status. See Edit Billing Periods. Never delete billing period if its linked to an invoice.

Example

This is an example of the email with the downloadable file link. For ease of identification, Proocore names the file: Subcontractor invoice backup - [project name] - [project number] - [date] - [time].pdf

When compiling the PDF to include in a backup, Procore organizes invoices by 'Contract #' in ascending order, and applies the 'Invoice Position' number as the secondary sort order. This ensures invoices are clearly presented in logical order in the backup file.
