Objective

To import a client contract Schedule of Values (SOV) from a CSV file. 

Background

A Schedule of Values (SOV) is a list of line items that details all of the agreed-upon costs (for example, labour, materials and so on) on a project. Abbreviated as SOV, it itemizes the client contract amount into individual pay items to show how the entire contract sum is allocated to all of the project's work. An SOV is also based on the project's approved budget and is commonly used to determine progress payments from the head contractor or client to the speciality contractor.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Client Contracts tool
  • Additional Information:
    • If the 'Enable Always Editable Schedule of Values' setting is turned OFF in the Head Contracts Tool's Configure Settings page, the contract must be in the Draft status. This is Procore's default setting. 
    • If the 'Enable Always Editable Schedule of Values' setting is turned ON in the Head Contracts Tool's Configure Settings page, the contract can be in any status. However, you cannot replace line items that have been progress claimd when performing an import. To learn more, see What is the 'Enable Always Editable Schedule of Values' setting? 
       Important
      Before proceeding with the Steps below, always review the requirements for importing data from a CSV. See What are the requirements for importing SOV line items from CSV?

      What is a delimiter? A delimiter is a character used to separate values or text strings. It marks both the beginning and end of a unit of data.
