How do I verify an Australian Business Number (ABN)?
Answer
If an Australian company, vendor or supplier is working with your company on a project, only users with 'Admin' level permission on the Company or Project level Directory tool can verify an Australian Business Number entry with the Australian Government's ABN Lookup database (https://abr.business.gov.au/) directly from Procore's Company or Project level Directory tool as follows:
- Navigate to the Company or Project level Directory tool.
- Locate the desired company record in the Directory tool. Then click Edit.
- In the Entity Type list, select ABN.
- Enter an ABN value in the field provided.
- Click the Verify ABN as shown in the animation below.
