Add a Line Item to a Commitment's Schedule of Values

Objective

To add a line item to the Schedule of Values (SOV) on a purchase order or subcontract.

Background

After you create a new purchase order or subcontract,  you can use the steps below to update the SOV with the individual line items. 

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Commitments tool.
  • For companies using the icon-erp-synced2.png ERP Integrations tool: Show/Hide  

    • In order to send the commitment to the ERP Integrations tool to be accepted for export by an accounting approver:
      • Integration by Ryvit. The commitment must have at least one (1) SOV line item with a Integration by Ryvit phase code. In addition, the cost code must be assigned to at least one (1) category. See Assign Default Cost Types To Integration by Ryvit Cost Codes). Important! When a commitment is exported to Integration by Ryvit, it must have a unique commitment number. Procore recommends that the numbering convention you set up for the Commitments tool is preceded by the Project Number and then uses the default numbering system. For example, if your Project Number is 001, your numbering system would be 001-001, 001-002, 001-003, and so on. 
      • QuickBooks® Desktop. The commitment must have at least one (1) SOV line item with a QuickBooks® Desktop cost code. The cost code does not need to be assigned to a category, because QuickBooks® Desktop does not support the category concept.
      • Sage 100 Contractor®. A commitment must have one (1) SOV line item with a Sage 100 Contractor® cost code. In addition, the cost code must be assigned to at least one (1) cost type. See Assign Default Cost Types To Cost Codes.
      • Sage 300 CRE®. The commitment must have at least one (1) SOV line item with a Sage 300 CRE® cost code. In addition, the cost code must be assigned to at least one (1) cost type. See Assign Default Cost Types To Cost Codes.
      • Viewpoint® Spectrum®. The commitment must have at least one (1) Schedule of Values (SOV) line item with a cost code from the Viewpoint® Spectrum® project. The cost code must be assigned to at least one (1) category. Category assignments must always be updated in Viewpoint® Spectrum®.
