Compile Progress Claim Backups

Objective

To compile a backup of default progress claim PDF and all of its PDF attachments for one or multiple progress claims.

Background

An progress claim backup lets you generate a single PDF that contains a PDF copy of each individual progress claim that you select. This feature saves valuable time so you don't have to manually export multiple progress claims or compile those downloads into a single PDF. Instead, Procore does this work for you.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Commitments tool.
       Notes
      • Access permissions to the Invoicing & Progress Billings tools are governed by the permissions set on the Commitments and/or Client Contracts, Funding or Head Contracts tool. Procore tool names vary, depending on the language or point-of-view dictionary configured in Procore. See What dictionaries and languages are available in the Procore web application?
      • If you are a collaborator (for example, an progress claim contact employed by a company performing work on a project managed in Procore, your ability to perform invoice-related tasks is determined by the Procore company account holder. Settings that the account holder may choose to provide to you include:
        • A Procore User account.
        • Access permissions to the project's Commitments and/or Client Contracts, Funding or Head Contracts tool.
        • Membership on the 'Private' list of a specific contract or funding
        • Designated as an 'Invoice Contact' on the contract or funding.
  • Additional Information:
    • To successfully Compile Progress Claim Backups, the billing period(s) that correspond to the selected progress claim(s) must exist. To learn more, see Create Automatic Billing Periods and Create Manual Billing Periods.
    • If you are using the Procore + DocuSign© integration and the signature workflow is complete, all versions of the PDFs will include the DocuSign© version.
