ERP Integrations (Company Level)

Standard item numbering upon export for commitments, Variations and progress claims  (10/04/2023)

Procore's Company level ERP Integrations tool previously provided the option to change an item's number upon export to an integrated ERP system. The removal of this field eliminates the possibility for an item's number in Procore to differ from that item's number in an integrated ERP system, offering an improved auditing and reconciliation experience for accounting teams.  

When a Procore project's subcontractor progress claims are synced with a supported ERP Integration, a link is created between the records stored in each system. Sometimes, users will inadvertently export a subcontractor progress claim from Procore and then discover that the subcontractor progress claim's data was entered incorrectly. When this occurs, the link between the systems will first need to be deleted manually using the new Unlink button. Prior to this update, a user with 'Admin' level permission was required to send a email request to reset the subcontractor progress claim then users had to wait for the request to be processed. Now, a user with the appropriate permissions can perform that step on their own.

For more information on a specific ERP integration see:

View All Release Notes: ERP Integrations


Inspections (Company Level)

Flexible Response Types for Inspection Items (19/09/2022)

Procore has updated how you assign response types to items in Company level and Project level inspection templates, giving you more flexibility to use standard or custom response types and bulk assign response types to items. Read the Announcement and tutorial to Create a Company Level Inspection Template.

'Multiple Response Set' renamed to 'Custom Response Set' (26/04/2022)
