Procore can be configured to use terminology specific to General Contractors, Owners, or Specialty Contractors. Learn how to apply the dictionary options.
Before Procore Invoice Management users can create subcontractor invoices, an invoice administrator must create a billing period in the Invoicing tool. Once created, invoice administrators can send an invoice contact an 'Invite to Bill' for the open billing period.
This is an example of the 'Invite to Bill' sent to the commitment's invoice contact.
Additional Information:
An 'Invite to Bill' cannot be sent for the open billing period if it is past the invoice's 'Due Date'.
If your team prefers not to invite invoice contacts to submit invoices, follow the steps in Create a Subcontractor Invoice on Behalf of an Invoice Contact.
An 'Invite to Bill' may not be required to create an invoice to release retainage only. See Create a Subcontractor Invoice for the Release of Retainage in the Invoicing Tool.
Before sending invites:
An invoice contact must be assigned to the invoice's commitment. See Add Invoice Contacts to a Purchase Order or Subcontract.
The Subcontractor Schedule of Values must be in the 'Approved' status (if one exists). See Review a Subcontractor SOV for a Commitment.
The invoice must correspond to the Open billing period. See Edit Billing Periods.
Navigate to the project's Invoicing tool.
Click the Subcontractor tab to view a list of subcontractor invoices.

Is the 'Send Invites' button grayed out? Possible reasons for an inactive 'Send Invites' button include:
The commitment doesn't have an assigned invoice contact. You can only send an invite when an invoice contact is assigned to a commitment. See Add Invoice Contacts to a Purchase Order or Subcontract.
The Subcontractor Schedule of Values (SSOV) isn't approved. You can only send an invite when the Subcontractor Schedule of Values (SSOV) is in the 'Approved' status (if one exists). See Enable or Disable the Subcontractor SOV Tab on the Commitments Tool and Review a Subcontractor SOV for a Commitment.
The current date is past the due date on the open billing period. You cannot send an 'Invite to Bill' for the open billing period if it is past the invoice's 'Due Date.' See Manage Billing Periods.
Click Send Invites and choose an option from the drop-down menu:
Work and Materials. Allows subcontractors to bill for work and materials only.
Retainage Release. Allows subcontractors to bill for retainage release only.
Work, Materials, and Retainage. Allows subcontractors to bill for work, materials, and retainage release.
After sending the invites, the following occurs:
