How do I export cost forecast data from a Procore budget to ERP

How do I export cost forecast data from a Procore budget to ERP?

Select Your Supported ERP:

For companies that have integrated Procore with Sage 300 CRE®, you can import your real-time actual cost data from Sage 300 CRE® into Procore's Budget tool. This lets project team's leverage their Sage 300 CRE® cost data with the 'Estimated Cost' value in a Procore budget to calculate the budget's 'Estimated Cost at Completion' and 'Forecast to Complete' values.  This ability provides your project's accounting team with the complimentary benefit of being able to access Procore's 'Estimated Cost at Completion' and 'Forecast to Complete' values in Sage 300 CRE®. 

When the feature is enabled and an accounting approver is ready to export a budget,  simply place a checkmark in the new 'Export Forecast Amount?' box in the ERP Integration tool's 'Ready to Export' filter. Then click Export to Sage 300 CRE®. For instructions, see Accept or Reject a Budget for Export to ERP.
