Import Segment Items into your Project Level Admin Tool (Procore Imports)

Objective 

To import custom WBS segment items into your Project's Admin tool with Procore Imports.

Background 

segment is a discrete category that an organisation uses to break down its work into manageable components. A segment item is one of many distinct items in a segment. In Procore's Financial Management tools, segments are the building blocks that define the pattern of your company's budget code structure

Examples

The example below shows you Procore's default budget code structure, which is available in the Company Admin tool. This budget code structure consists of Procore's two (2) default segments: Cost Code and Cost Type. These segments are required.

You also have the option to customise your budget code structure with up to ten (10) custom segments. The illustration below shows you how your budget code structure can be customised using a combination of both Procore's default segments and your own custom segments.

When getting started with Procore's WBS, segments must be added in the Company level Admin tool by your company's Procore Administrator. They are later used to define your company's budget code structure. Your company's budget code structure can be applied as-is to individual Procore projects or you can define a unique budget code structure at the project level, using a subset of what has been made available on projects via the company level.

When adding new segments to Procore, your company's Procore Administrator can configure each segment as flat or tiered. To learn more, see What are segments?

 Tip
Not sure what custom segments to create? To learn how other Procore clients use Work Breakdown Structure, see What custom segments should we create for our company's Work Breakdown Structure?
