Background

Once an invoice is created, a Procore project user granted the required user permissions can forward an invoice to recipients. Recipients must have a user account in the Project Directory. An invoice administrator can also set up a 'Commitments Distribution' list for recipients in the project's Commitments tool. This automatically populates the 'To' field with distribution list members when sending a new email. You can add or remove recipients before sending the invoice.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:

    • You must be an invoice administrator.
      OR

    • You must have 'Standard' level permissions on the project's Commitments tool.
      AND
      You must be added to the 'Private' drop-down list on the commitment.

Prerequisites

  1. Navigate to the project's Commitment tool.

  2. Go to Commitment for the invoice you want to distribute.

  3. Click the Invoicing tab

  4. Locate the invoice to distribute and click its Number link.

       Tip

      Need a default distribution list? An invoice administrator can set up a 'Commitments Distribution' list in the project's Commitments tool. This auto-populates the 'To' field with list members when crafting a new email. See Configure Settings: Commitments.

    • CC. Select recipients from the drop-down list.

    • BCC. Select recipients from the drop-down list.

    • Private. Place a mark in the box to make the invoice 'Private' to recipients and administrators.
