Project Management
Coordination Issues
Coordination Issues Available In The Documents Plugin for Autodesk®
You can now view and manage coordination issues in Revit when using the Documents Plugin for Autodesk®. Some of the actions you can preform include opening coordination issues in Revit, making updates, adding comments, and clicking issues to see their locations within the model. See Getting Started Guide: Documents Plugin for Autodesk®
Correspondence
'Closed' status prevents responses
Procore users can no longer add responses to correspondence items with a 'Closed' status or a custom status that is mapped to 'Closed'. This reduces the possibility of missed information.
Drawings
Generate and Print QR Codes for Drawings
You can generate QR codes for your project's drawings, and print them to post them at a job site. Users can scan the QR Code with the Procore Mobile app and view the drawing on their mobile device. See Generate and Print QR Codes for Drawings, Scan a QR Code (Android), and Scan a QR Code (iOS).
Submittals
Submittals Workflow configuration option for 'enable reject workflows'
Procore has released a submittals workflows configuration option called 'Enable Reject Workflows'. This feature detects when a workflow participant responds with a 'Rejected', 'Revise and Resubmit', or equivalent custom status, and then automatically sets the Ball in Court to the Submittal Manager for intervention. The Submittal Manager can then resume the workflow, set ball in court back to a previous step, or close and distribute (and optionally trigger a revision). When enabled, this feature impacts both active, in-progress workflows and workflows that have not yet started. See Enable Reject Workflows for details.
Financial Management
ERP Integrations
New! Sync Owner Invoices with the NetSuite® CONNECTOR
You can now export owner invoices from Procore directly to your integrated NetSuite® system using Procore's NetSuite® Connector. This feature will NOT be automatically available. Reach out to your Procore point of contact to request to enable this feature.
To learn more about how owner invoices are exported through the integration, see Export Owner Invoices from Procore to ERP and Detailed Data Mapping for NetSuite®.
NEW! export projects from tendering and estimating WITH the PROJECT FINANCIALS + Yardi Voyager® CONNECTOR
Integration users now have the option to export projects created in Tendering or Estimating tools with Yardi Voyager®. You must first reach out to your Integration Implementation Specialist or contact ERP support to enable this feature.
Invoicing
Budget Changes on Owner Invoicing
Budget Changes is now available on owner invoicing. The highly-anticipated feature allows clients to directly include approved budget changes in owner invoices, improving transparency with the use of contingency funds. Users can simplify their billing process and reduce the need for separate Prime Contract Change Orders. This feature is only available for clients that are opted into the Modernized Owner Invoice Experience, and are migrated to the new Budget Changes tool. To learn more, see About Budget Changes on Owner Invoices.
Customize OWNER INVOICE NUMBERING System ON MODERNIZED EXPERIENCE
For users on the modernized owner invoice experience, Procore has updated its invoice numbering system. Users can now create a customized numbering scheme that automatically increments to the next number in the sequence when creating future invoices. To learn more, see Can I customize the numbering system for financial objects in Procore?
Updated Export > PDF with Attachments Option for Subcontractor Invoices
Procore has updated the Export > PDF with Attachments menu option to download the compiled PDF file with attachments directly to your computer. Before the update, Procore send the PDF to you by email when the invoice and attachments were ready. To learn more, see Export a Subcontractor Invoice.
IMPROVED ROW GROUPS ON OWNER INVOICE SCHEDULE OF VALUES
When you create a new owner invoice, the row groups on the new invoice's Schedule of Values now mirror the user's most recent groupings from the previous invoice. This consistency makes data entry easier, especially when users create new invoices for progress payments. To learn how to create an invoice, see Create Owner Invoices.
Payments
New Payments Objects Available in Enhanced Reporting
Procore has updated the Payments area of the Financials Dataset in Enhanced Reporting. New objects are now available for Contract Compliance and Payments Beneficiary.

New 'Safety' Option in Contract Compliance Documents

With this addition, you can easily upload and classify important safety documents, enhancing your compliance process. To learn more, see Create Contract Compliance Documents for Commitments as an Invoice Administrator and Edit Contract Compliance Documents for Commitments as an Invoice Administrator.
Invite to Pay Enhancements for payee onboarding
To streamline the payor's understanding of the payee onboarding process, the Beneficiaries tab in the Payments tool now only lists subcontractors invited to join Procore Pay and contractors who have already initiated a connection. The 'Invite to Pay' prompt was also updated to show a gray banner when subcontracting companies are already connected and preselects the company's authorized contact for your invite. See About the Beneficiaries Tab in the Payments Tool and Invite Beneficiaries to Procore Pay.
Workforce Management
Timesheets
Timesheet Summary
When creating or editing a timesheet, users can now see a summary of the time entered for the timesheet, as well as daily and weekly hours for the employee across all projects. This gives teams on-site visibility into total hours logged for employees, mitigating downstream impacts during the review and approval process. See About Project Timesheets and Create a Timesheet.
Workforce Planning

The Time Off List has a new layout. The new layout is faster, requires fewer clicks to take action, and includes improved sorting and filtering. See the 'Time Off' section in the Workforce Planning User Guide.
New Side-by-Side Layout on the Assignment Boards
You can now configure your Assignment Boards to show projects in two columns, increasing the number of projects you can see on the page. See View the Assignment Boards.
Faster People Sync

Faster Project Sync for Workforce Planning
For companies that have Workforce Planning as the system of record for project data, data syncing to the Portfolio tool is now immediate.
