Email an Owner Invoice

  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF

Objective

To send an upstream invoice to your Procore project's upstream collaborator by email. 

Background

After creating an upstream invoice that bills against a client contract, funding, or prime contract, you can send a copy of the invoice's 'Detail' tab to your upstream collaborator to review. Once reviewed, your collaborator can then reply directly to that message to indicate that they have approved your invoice for payment (or to supply you with a reason for rejecting your invoice). To ensure that your collaborator's response is captured in writing, Procore saves all replies to your outgoing message's 'From' address in the Emails tab on the invoice. 

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Client Contracts, Funding, or Prime Contracts tool.
       Notes
      • Access permissions to the Invoicing & Progress Billings tools are governed by the permissions set on the Commitments and/or Client Contracts, Funding, or Prime Contracts tool. Procore tool names vary, depending on the language or point-of-view dictionary configured in Procore. See What dictionaries and languages are available in the Procore web application?
      • If you are a collaborator (for example, an invoice contact employed by a company performing work on a project managed in Procore, your ability to perform invoice-related tasks is determined by the Procore company account holder. Settings that the account holder may choose to provide to you include:
        • A Procore User account.
        • Access permissions to the project's Commitments and/or Client Contracts, Funding, or Prime Contracts tool.
        • Membership on the 'Private' list of a specific contract or funding
        • Designated as an 'Invoice Contact' on the contract or funding.
  • Additional Information:
    • Clicking the Email Invoice button sends a copy of the invoice's 'Detail' tab to the designated recipients.
    • The data on the 'Configurable PDF' tab of the invoice is NOT provided with this email message.

  6. Complete the following fields:
    • To. Enter the name of the person you are requesting payment from.
    • CC. Enter in names of people you want to be copied on the email thread. Your name appears in this field by default. 
    • Private. Mark this checkbox if you only want the invoice to be available to the invoice administrator and those named in the To/Cc fields.
    • Subject. This field will populate with the number of the invoice.
    • Attachments. Attach any related documents or files.
    • Message. Include an additional message regarding the invoice. 
  7. Click Send.
    A YELLOW 'Communication Created' banner appears to confirm the outgoing message has been created and added to Procore's outgoing email queue.
     Note
    • A record of your outgoing message is saved in the 'Emails' tab on the invoice.
    • Any messages sent to the 'From' address on your outgoing message are automatically saved in the invoice's 'Emails' tab. This provides your message recipients with the convenience to use the reply feature in their email program. It also captures your collaborator's approve or reject responses in writing.
