 In Beta 

The content on this page details the modernised experience for owner progress claims. It is available to Project Financials users who are participating in the Beta program.

Objective

To create an upstream progress claim for a head contract, client contract, or funding to bill the project's upstream collaborator.

Background

If you're managing a construction project in Procore, you can create an upstream progress claim for a head contract, client contract, or funding. You can then submit the progress claim as a payment application to bill the project's upstream collaborator for your work on a construction project. To learn more, see What is an upstream collaborator? 

 Tip
flag-us.png flag-canada.png What is the Head Contracts tool called in your environment? For customers in the United States and/or Canada, the tool name and terms displayed in Procore's user interface may be different when a Point-of-View dictionary option has been applied in your environment by Procore. To learn about the available dictionary options, see What dictionaries and languages are available in the Procore web application?

    • Progress Claim No.
      Enter a progress claim number or you may leave it blank and edit it later.
    • Billing Period
      Procore automatically populates this field with the open billing period's dates. If there are no open billing periods, Procore populates this field with the most recent billing period. 
       Tip

      How do you create a billing period? Depending on the tool name in your environment, only an progress claim administrator can create billing periods with the Invoicing or Progress Billings tool. See Create Billing Periods. 

    • Populate the Schedule of Values with Costs from the Selected Billing Period
      Mark this checkbox to turn the setting ON or remove the checkmark to turn the setting OFF. By default, this setting is turned OFF. 
      • ON. Procore populates the progress claim's Schedule of Values with eligible cost amounts from the selected billing period as follows:
        • Subcontractor progress claims in any Approved status. See What are the default statuses for Procore progress claims?
        • Direct costs with a 'Received Date' in the Approved status with a corresponding budget code in the contract's or funding's Schedule of Values. 
        • Commitment change orders in the Approved status with a corresponding change order or a corresponding budget code in the commitment's Schedule of Values. 
           Note
          • If the commitment change order is connected to a head contract change order via a change event, it will populate into that head contract change order.
          • If the commitment change order is not tied to a head contract change order, it will populate to a head contract Schedule of Values line item with a matching budget code.
          • If the commitment change order has neither of the above, it will not populate into the owner progress claim.
      • OFF. Procore does NOT populate the Schedule of Values with costs. Users must manually enter the data in the Schedule of Values. 
    • Include backup from direct costs and progress claims in the selected billing period . 
      Mark this checkbox to turn the setting ON or remove the checkmark to turn the setting OFF. By default, this setting is turned ON. 
      • ON.  Updates the progress claim's Attachments card in the progress claim to contain these sections: Uploaded Attachments, Attachments from Subcontractor Progress Claims and Attachments from Direct Costs. Procore adds relevant attachments from the selected billing period to the appropriate section as follows:
      • OFF. The progress claim's Attachments card contains only the Uploaded Attachments section and an Upload Attachments button. 
  7. Click Create.
    Procore creates the new progress claim. You can now proceed with editing it.
