Edit Head Contract Progress Claim (Beta)

 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 edit an owner progress claim for a head contract.

Background

After creating an owner progress claim, you can open it using the Project level Head Contracts or Invoicing tool to edit as needed. The steps below show you how to edit an owner progress claim using the Head Contracts tool. 

Things to Consider

    • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Head Contracts tool.

Steps

Open a Progress Claim

  1. Navigate to the project's Head Contracts tool.
  2. In the table, locate the contract to edit.
     Tip
    • Looking for a specific progress claim? To quickly find a match in a long list of progress claims, start typing in the Search box. Procore narrows the list to show only the progress claims that match your keywords. 
    • Want to organise the progress claims in the Owner list? To organise the progress claim table, use the options in the Add Group and Add Filter menus. To learn more, see Search, Filter and Group Progress Claims.

Summary Preview -  Contractor's Application for Payment

The table below provides details about each field in the Contractor's Application for Payment area of an owner progress claim. 

Line  Field Description Project Tool Source Field(s)
1 Original Contract Sum Show the amount recorded in the 'Original Contract Amount' field in the contract.  Head Contracts Original Contract Amount
2 Net Change by Variations Shows the total amount of any variations in the Approved status that impact this progress claim.  Head Contracts, Variations  
3 Contract Sum to Date (Line 1 ± 2) Shows the sum or difference of the Original Contract Sum (line 1) combined with the Net Change by Variations amount (line 2). This shows the positive or negative cost resulting from any approved variations. See the Summary Preview - Variation Summary Head Contracts, Variations  
4 Total Completed and Stored to Date (Column G on Detail Sheet) Procore adds the Work Completed and Materials Presently Stored values to show the cumulative sum of the cost for each line item on the progress claim.  Invoicing  
5 Retention Shows the percentage of the payment is being withheld until the job is complete. This value is specified in the contract. Typically, the value is between 5% and 10% for each progress payment. 

Because some regions require variable retention, the 'Retention' amount may only be reduced once a certain percentage of the contract is complete. 
Head Contracts  
5a % of Completed Work Shows the percentage of work completed from previous payment applications plus the work completed for this billing period.  Invoicing  
5b % of Stored Materials Shows the percentage of materials being stored on-site. This reflects the value of the materials that were purchased for, but not used on, the project up to the end of the progress claim's billing period.  Invoicing  
- Total Retention (Line 5a + 5b or Total in Column I on Detail Sheet) Shows the variable retention rate. A variable retention rate can represent one of two rates: (1) The amount of retention that is reduced after a certain percentage of work is complete or (2) the amount of retention that retention applies only to labour and NOT to materials. 

Note: If you are withholding a fixed percentage throughout the entire project, you will not use this field. 
Invoicing  
6 Total Earned Less Retention (Line 4 less Line 5 Total) Shows the Work Completed and Materials Stored Amount Invoicing  
7 Less Previous Certifications for Payment (Line 6 from Prior Certificate) Shows all previous payments for the contract. On the first progress claim, this number is zero (0). On subsequent progress claims, the amount matches line 6 on the previous progress claim.  Invoicing Total Earned Less Retention (from previous progress claim)
8 Current Payment Due Shows the current payment due for the progress claim's billing period. This calculation takes the 'Total Completed and Stored to Date' value in the progress claim minus 'Retention' and any completed payments from past progress claims.  Invoicing Calculated
9 Balance to Finish, Including Retention Shows the amount remaining to be paid on the contract, including the 'Retention' amount.  Invoicing Calculated

Update the Schedule of Values

Before updating the line items, it's helpful to understand the available editing methods. It's also important to know that the accounting method set on the head contract impacts which columns are available for data entry on the Schedule of Values. 

To update a schedule of values:

Choose Your Editing Method

Before editing line items on a Schedule of Values, it's helpful to know the two (2) data entry methods. You can use both methods in any editing session. Choose the method that works best for you.

  • To edit line items in bulk Show/Hide  
    • Select multiple line items by placing marks in the checkboxes on the far left side of the table.

      • To select all line items, mark the box in the Item Number column (see 1).

      • To select all the line items in a group, mark the box in a line item group (see 2).

      • To select individual line items, mark the desired boxes next to individual line items (see 3).

      • When finished, click the Edit Values button (see 4). This opens the Edit Values panel on the right (see 5). In the entry field, you can enter new values to update the selected line items in bulk. After you enter values, always click Apply (see 6).

  • To edit individual line items inline Show/Hide  
    • Edit line items inline by typing in the text boxes that appear in the editable cells.

Update the Line Items Using the Contract's Accounting Method

The data entry requirements for line items on a Schedule of Values are determined by the accounting method set on the progress claim's head contract. In Procore, a head contract can be configured to use one (1) of two (2) accounting methods: Amount-Based or Unit/Quantity Based. The accounting method set on the head contract impacts which columns are available for data entry on the Schedule of Values. Once line items are created on a contract, all progress claims for that contract use the same accounting method. To learn more, see How do I set the accounting method for a contract or funding?

 Tips

How do you know which accounting method is being used? An Amount-Based contract includes columns for entering dollar and percentage amounts. A Unit/Quantity Based contract includes columns for entering a quantity and percentage amounts. Simply compare the columns in your progress claim's Schedule of Values to the ones in the examples below.

  • To update line items with the Amount-Based accounting method Show/Hide  
    • To update the line items on an owner progress claim's Schedule of Values when the head contract is using the Amount-Based accounting method:

      1. Scroll to the Schedule of Values
  • To update line items with the Unit/Quantity Based accounting method Show/Hide  
    • To update the line items on an owner progress claim's Schedule of Values when the head contract is using the Unit/Quantity Based accounting method:

      1. Scroll to the Schedule of Values
