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:

  1. Navigate to the Company or Project level Directory tool. 
  2. Locate the desired company record in the Directory tool. Then click Edit
  3. In the Entity Type list, select ABN.
  4. Enter an ABN value in the field provided.
  5. Click the Verify ABN as shown in the animation below.
