Background
A Billing Period defines the billing cycle used by a project's team and progress claim contacts on Procore's progress claims and progress billings. In addition to defining the frequency of the billing cycle (for example, monthly or weekly), a billing period also defines the billing cycle's start/end date and the due date for the progress claim or progress billing.
Examples
Common billing periods include:
- Monthly
Examples of common monthly billing periods are below:
- Starts on the 1st day of a month and ends on the 30th of the same month.
- Starts on the 15th of one month and ends on the 14th of the following month.
- Weekly
Examples of common weekly billing periods are below:
- Starts on Sunday of this week and ends on Saturday of this week.
Answer
A progress claim administrator has these options to create a billing period in the Project level Invoicing tool:
- Automatic Billing Periods. Choose this option when your billing periods have a consistent start, end, and due date. For example, weekly or monthly. For instructions, see Create Automatic Billing Periods.
- Manual Billing Periods. Choose this option when you need to create billing periods for your progress claims and your billing periods are not on a consistent program. For instructions, see Create Manual Billing Periods.
