Set Up Submittal Schedule Calculations
Background
Submittal Schedule Calculations is an optional configuration feature that can be enabled for use with the Project level Submittals tool. When enabled on a Procore project, this option analyzes these key dates, which are entered by the creator under Submittal Schedule Information in a submittal package or a submittal item:
Required On-Site Date
Lead Time
Design Team Review Time
Internal Review Time
After analyzing the date entries, Procore automatically populates the calculated date values for the end user in the following fields:
Planned Return Date
Planned Internal Review Completed Date
Planned Submit By Date
Based on the calculated date values above, Procore also suggests dates for the following fields:
Submitter Due Date
Approver Due Date
This helps the submittal creator ensure that submittal packages and items submitted to the review team are approved on schedule.
