Summary Preview -  Contractor's Application for Payment

The table below provides details about each field in the Contractor's Application for Payment area of an owner invoice. 

Line  Field Description Project Tool Source Field(s)
1 Original Contract Sum Show the amount recorded in the 'Original Contract Amount' field in the contract.  Prime Contracts Original Contract Amount
2 Net Change by Change Orders Shows the total amount of any change orders in the Approved status that impact this invoice.  Prime Contracts, Change Orders  
3 Contract Sum to Date (Line 1 ± 2) Shows the sum or difference of the Original Contract Sum (line 1) combined with the Net Change by Change Orders amount (line 2). This shows the positive or negative cost resulting from any approved change orders. See the Summary Preview - Change Order Summary Prime Contracts, Change Orders  
4 Total Completed and Stored to Date (Column G on Detail Sheet) Procore adds the Work Completed and Materials Presently Stored values to show the cumulative sum of the cost for each line item on the invoice.  Invoicing  
5 Retainage Shows the percentage of the payment is being withheld until the job is complete. This value is specified in the contract. Typically, the value is between 5% and 10% for each progress payment. 

Because some regions require variable retention, the 'Retainage' amount may only be reduced once a certain percentage of the contract is complete. 
Prime Contracts  
5a % of Completed Work Shows the percentage of work completed from previous payment applications plus the work completed for this billing period.  Invoicing  
5b % of Stored Materials Shows the percentage of materials being stored on-site. This reflects the value of the materials that were purchased for, but not used on, the project up to the end of the invoice's billing period.  Invoicing  
- Total Retainage (Line 5a + 5b or Total in Column I on Detail Sheet) Shows the variable retainage rate. A variable retainage rate can represent one of two rates: (1) The amount of retainage that is reduced after a certain percentage of work is complete, or (2) the amount of retainage that retainage applies only to labor and NOT to materials. 

Note: If you are withholding a fixed percentage throughout the entire project, you will not use this field. 
Invoicing  
6 Total Earned Less Retainage (Line 4 less Line 5 Total) Shows the Work Completed and Materials Stored Amount Invoicing  
7 Less Previous Certifications for Payment (Line 6 from Prior Certificate) Shows all previous payments for the contract. On the first invoice, this number is zero (0). On subsequent invoices, the amount matches line 6 on the previous invoice.  Invoicing Total Earned Less Retainage (from previous invoice)

Review & Add Approved Changes

If your team approves new budget changes or prime contract change orders after an owner invoice is created, a notification banner appears at the top of the invoice's Schedule of Values.

If you want to add any newly approved changes to the most recent owner invoice, follow these steps:

  1. At the top of the Schedule of Values, click Review & Add the notification banner. 
    banner-review-and-add-active.png
     Tips
    • Don't see a notification banner?  Either (1) there are no approved changes to add to the invoice, or (2) the required 'Budget Changes' settings aren't configured. See Configure Settings: Budget
    • Can't click the Review & Add button? Approved changes can only be added to a prime contract's most recent invoice. If you are editing an older invoice, you can't click the Review & Add button.
    • Are approved changes added to new owner invoices automatically? Yes. Approved changes are automatically added to the Schedule of Values on a new invoice. You do not need to add approved changes to new owner invoices. 
  2. In the Review & Add Approved Changes window, review the adjustment details.
  3. Mark the check boxes next to the changes to add.  
     Important
    Adding approved changes is a permanent action. Once added, they cannot be removed.

  4. Choose from the options:
    • To add the selected changes, mark the checkboxes that correspond to the change and then, click Add
      A GREEN banner appears when the change is successfully added.
      OR
    • To skip adding the changes, click Cancel

      5. Click Apply (see 6).

Update the Line Items Using the Contract's Accounting Method

The data entry requirements for line items on a Schedule of Values are determined by the accounting method set on the invoice's prime contract. In Procore, a prime contract can be configured to use one (1) of two (2) accounting methods: Amount-Based or Unit/Quantity Based. The accounting method set on the prime contract impacts which columns are available for data entry on the Schedule of Values. Once line items are created on a contract, all invoices for that contract use the same accounting method. To learn more, see How do I set the accounting method for a contract or funding?

 Tips

How do you know which accounting method is being used? An Amount-Based contract includes columns for entering dollar and percentage amounts. A Unit/Quantity Based contract includes columns for entering a quantity and percentage amounts. Simply compare the columns in your invoice's Schedule of Values to the ones in the examples below.

  • To update line items with the Amount-Based accounting method Show/Hide  
    • To update the line items on an owner invoice's Schedule of Values (SOV) when the prime contract is using the Amount-Based accounting method:

      1. Scroll to the Schedule of Values
        Each line item on an owner invoice's SOV corresponds to a contract line item. 
      2. Click Edit.
        This places the Schedule of Values into edit mode. 
      3. Enter values in these fields as needed:
        The columns in your SOV may be different. To show and hide columns, click the Table Settings icon-ag-grid-table-filter.png icon. To learn more, see Manage Table Settings.
        • Work Completed This Period (%)
          Enter a percentage to represent the monetary value of work completed for this billing period. 
          Note: If the user who created the invoice marked the 'Populate the Schedule of Values with Costs from the Selected Billing Period' checkbox, Procore automatically populates the entry in the hidden 'Work Completed This Period ($)' column with values from subcontractor invoices, direct costs, and commitment change orders.
        • Total Work Completed (%)
          Enter a percentage to represent the work completed to date through this billing period. Procore uses this entry to display the '% of Completed Work' (line 5a) in the Summary Preview. 
          Note: This number represents the cumulative amount of work completed from the first invoice on the contract through the current billing period for this invoice.
        • Work Retainage This Period (%)
          Enter a percentage to represent the work retainage to release this billing period. 
          Note: An entry in this cell lets Procore automatically calculate the currency value in the 'Work Retainage This Period ($)' column of the Schedule of Values. 
        • Materials Retainage (%)
          Enter a percentage to represent the material retainage for this billing period.

        • Work Retainage Released (%)
          Enter a percentage to represent the material retainage that you are requesting to be released for work completed this billing period.

      2. Click Edit.
        This places the Schedule of Values into edit mode. 
      3. Enter values in these cells as needed:
