Update a Subcontractor SOV as an Invoice Contact
Objective
To update a Subcontractor SOV for a subcontract as an invoice contact.
Background
A Subcontractor Schedule of Values (Subcontractor SOV) on a commitment is typically completed when the upstream contractor (for example, a general contractor) requires a detailed line-item breakdown of work performed by a downstream contractor (for example, a subcontractor).
Example
A general contractor has created a subcontract and one of the line items on the general SOV tab is for $40,000.00 in materials. To better understand how that money is being allocated on the project, the general contractor requires a more detailed line breakdown of the materials from the subcontractor.
First, the general contractor enables the Subcontractor SOV tab on the Commitments tool. Next, the general contractor sends an email a request to the subcontractor. After receiving the general contractor's request, the subcontractor adds a line item to the Subcontractor SOV to show that the materials are being provided by four (4) different vendors that they have their own agreements with. When updating the Subcontractor SOV, the subcontractor adds four (4) line items to the Subcontractor SOV to show how the $40,000.00 for materials is allocated:
- Materials Vendor 1: $10,000.00
- Materials Vendor 2: $5,000.00
- Materials Vendor 3: $12,000.00
- Materials Vendor 4: $13,000.00
In Procore, a commitment always includes a general Schedule of Values tab and it can also be configured to include an additional Subcontractor SOV tab. See Enable or Disable a Subcontractor SOV on a Commitment. Once the Subcontractor SOV tab is enabled, a contractor can then forward the commitment by email to subcontractor's Invoice Contact with a message requesting that the contact add line items to Subcontractor SOV tab.
