Objective

To compile a backup that includes all PDF attachments for one or more progress billings.

Background

A progress billing backup lets you generate a single PDF that contains a PDF copy of each individual progress billing that you select. This feature saves valuable time so you don't have to manually export multiple progress billings or compile those downloads into a single PDF. Instead, Procore does this work for you.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Commitments 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 point-of-view dictionary configured in Procore. See What tool names and terms are different in Procore for general contractors, owners, and specialty contractors?
      • 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:

Steps
