1 To perform this task, downstream collaborators should be designated as an invoice contact on the commitment. See Add Invoice Contacts to a Commitment

2 Also requires a DocuSign© account.

3  Users must have 'Read-Only' or 'Standard' permissions on the project's Commitments tool. Users must also be added to the Private drop-down list for that commitment or must be designated as an Invoice Contact. See Add Invoice Contacts to a Purchase Order or Subcontract

4 Commitments synced with an integrated ERP system cannot be deleted until they are unlinked. See Delete a Commitment Synced with QuickBooks® Desktop and Delete a Commitment Synced with Sage 300 CRE®.  

5 Users with 'Admin' permissions on the project's Commitments tool can export a commitment as either a PDF or a DOCX file. Users with 'Standard' or 'Read-Only' permissions on the project's Commitments tool can export a commitment to the PDF file format if they have been granted access to the purchase order or subcontract via the Private drop-down list and the 'Allow These Users to See SOV Items' check box is enabled.

6 Users with 'Read-Only' permissions on the Commitments tool can perform these procedures if they are also listed in the Private field under the commitment's General tab.

7 Users with 'Read only' and 'Standard' permission (and who have NOT been assigned the granular permission detailed in the table) must also be a member of the 'Private' list. 

8 Also requires 'Standard' or 'Admin' permission on the project's Change Events tool.

9 Users with 'Standard' level permissions on the project's Commitments tool can create PCOs when they are added to the 'Private' drop-down list and the 'Allow Standard Level Users to Create PCOs' configuration must be selected.

10 The invoice must be in the 'Draft' or 'Revise and Resubmit' status for a user with 'Standard' level permissions to delete it.

 

Below are the notable changes to the project's Commitments tool. 

Recent Changes

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: NEW WARNING BANNER ON SUBCONTRACTOR INVOICES WHEN RETAINAGE IS RELEASED (04/24/2023)

Subcontractor invoices have a new warning banner that will appear when retainage is released. The banner will appear from the Schedule of Values (SOV) card once retainage amount is entered and released. See Set or Release Retainage on a Subcontractor Invoice.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: Extended The Legacy Subcontractor Invoice Experience Date (01/26/2023) 

The option to switch between the beta and legacy subcontractor invoice experience has been extended to September 2023. The previously announced end date for using the legacy experience was February 2023. Now, in September 2023, the ability to exit the beta experience will be removed and the legacy experience will no longer be available in Procore. To learn more about each experience, see Financial Management: New Admin & Collaborator Views for Subcontractor Invoicing.

Custom Fields now visible in commitments List view (01/05/2023) 

Users can now see custom fields in the commitments list view table. Users can now view, filter, and sort by custom fields in the list view.
