Objective

To add an invoice contact to commitment on a Procore project as an invoice administrator.

Background

To provide downstream collaborators with permissions to submit new subcontractor invoices in a Procore project, an invoice administrator must add an invoice contact to their commitment. If a collaborator has more than one commitment on your Procore project, administrators can add a different invoice contact to each commitment. Alternatively, your company's Procore Administrator can set a default invoice contact in the downstream collaborator's company record.
