About Subcontractor Invoices
Objective
To provide Procore users with information about subcontractor invoices in Procore.
Background
The Invoice Management solution features the Project level Invoicing tool. This tool handles two types of invoices: subcontractor invoices and owner invoices. Subcontractor invoices originate in the project's Commitments tool. Before you can create an invoice, your project team must create a commitment for the project, establish a billing period, and decide who will have permission to submit an invoice.
