- 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:

- 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.
