Background

In Procore, a subcontractor invoice originates in the Project Commitments tool. Before you can create an invoice, your project team must create a commitment for the project, establish a billing period, and decide which internal users and/or external collaborators will be granted permission to submit new invoices.

 Tip

A Subcontractor Invoice is a request for payment submitted by a business or individual who has entered into a binding agreement with another contracting party. In Procore, a subcontractor invoice is an equivalent term for a payable invoice.

Step

Description

Learn More

Decide who will have permission to submit an invoice

You have these choices:
1. Grant invoice submission rights to downstream collaborators. In Procore, these users are called invoice contacts. 2. Gather paper or digital invoices from collaborators and grant invoice submission rights to your team. In Procore, these users are your invoice administrators.

Considerations

Optional. Decide if you want to collect signatures with DocuSign®

There are two (2) ways to collect signatures on commitments and invoices:

DocuSign®

Configure the Invoice Management tools

Configure the invoicing settings in the Commitments and Invoicing tools. See Configure Settings: Commitments and Configure Settings: Invoicing.

Commitments and Invoicing

Establish a billing period

Create a billing period and place it in the Open status. A billing period defines the start, end, and due date for submitting an invoice.

Manage Billing Periods

Create a commitment

Subcontractor invoices originate from commitments. You can create multiple commitments for your collaborators in a Procore project. A commitment must be in the 'Approved' status before you can create an invoice.

Create a Commitment

Optional: Grant invoice submission rights to downstream collaborators

Optional: An invoice administrator can grant invoice submission rights to downstream collaborators.

Add Invoice Contacts to a Purchase Order or Subcontract

Configure the 'Advanced Settings' tab on the commitment

For best results, configure the advanced settings before you add line items to the SOV and before you create invoices for the commitment.

Edit the Advanced Settings Tab on a Commitment

Create invoices and submit them before the Open billing period's 'Due Date'

Learn the options for creating invoices with the Commitments tool. Only invoice administrators or invoice contacts on a commitment can create subcontractor invoices.

Create a Subcontractor Invoice

Review submitted invoices

Once submitted, an invoice administrator can review each line item on the invoice's Schedule of Values to approve or reject it.

Review a Subcontractor Invoice as an Invoice Administrator

Revise and resubmit invoices

If an invoice administrator rejects one (1) or more invoice line items, users can make fixes and corrections until all the line items on the invoice's Schedule of Values are Approved.

Revise & Resubmit a Subcontractor Invoice as an Invoice Contact

Optional. Complete the signature process in DocuSign®

Once Approved, you can optionally complete the signature process in DocuSign®.

Complete Subcontractor Invoices with DocuSign®
