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

Answer

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

To turn on forecasting/projections: 

  1. Navigate to the project Budget tool
  2. Click on the settings icon-settings-gear-android.png icon.
  3. Change the following settings:
    • Default ERP Budget View: ERP Job Cost Detail Budget
    • Designated Estimated Cost at Completion Column: Estimated Cost at Completion

Which data fields are exported?
