What is the 'Enable Always Editable Schedule of Values' setting?

Your project is configured to use one of Procore's ERP Integrations tools. Answer

The 'Enable Always Editable Schedule of Values' check box is a configuration setting in the supported Project Financials tools (see Which Procore tools support this setting? below). It providers users who have been granted the required user permissions to a tool with the ability to update the line items on a Schedule of Values (SOV) and Subcontractor Schedule of Values (SSOV), regardless of its status.

Example

The 'Enable Always Editable Schedule of Values' setting is available to turn ON and OFF in the 'Contract Configuration' section of the Client Contracts, Funding, and Prime Contracts tools.

The setting is also available in the 'Contract Configuration' section of the Commitments tool. In the Commitments tool, users can adjust line items on both the Schedule of Values and the Subcontractor Schedule of Values. However, please be aware of these limitations:

You cannot adjust the value of SOV or SSOV line items below the amount that has been invoiced against that line item.
While adjustments are being made, Procore changes the SSOV status to 'Revise and Submit'. Users must manually change the status back to 'Approved' in order to create invoices against the commitment contract.
You cannot adjust the value of SOV or SSOV line items on contracts synced with the Company level ERP Integrations tool.
You cannot delete line items from the SOV or SSOV.
You cannot turn the SSOV tab ON or OFF in a commitment after the SOV line items have been billed against with an invoice. See Enable or Disable the Subcontractor SOV Tab on the Commitments Tool.

Why turn this setting ON or OFF?

In Procore, this setting is turned OFF by default. However, a user with 'Admin' level permissions on a supported tool can choose to turn this setting ON and OFF at any time. Reasons for turning the setting ON and OFF include:

ON. Turn this setting ON when project users need to update a contract's or funding's SOV after change orders or invoices have been placed in the 'Approved' status. This allows users to refine a contract's or funding's value, without having to issue a new change order against the contract or funding.
OFF. Turn this setting OFF when they want to restrict users from updating a contract's or funding's SOV after change orders and invoices are approved. This prevents users from refining a contract's or funding's value and requires users to issue a new change order against a contract or funding.

Important

Procore recommends turning this setting ON and OFF before your team begins creating invoices. Although you can change this setting at any time, it is important to note that Procore will NOT retroactively apply the updated setting to your existing invoices. A setting change is only applied to new invoices.

How do I turn this setting ON or OFF?

The 'Enable Always Editable Schedule of Values' check box is a configuration setting on the 'Configure Settings' page which can be turned ON or OFF by a user with 'Admin' level permissions on the supported Project Financials tool. By default, this setting is turned OFF.

Anything else I need to know?

Yes. If you or a team member changes the status of a Subcontractor Schedule of Values to 'Draft' after is was set to 'Approved', the amounts in the schedule will need to be reallocated before you can set its status to 'Approved' a second time. You also cannot edit the amounts on the Subcontractor Schedule of Values after a line item has been included on an invoice. For example, if you already created an invoice for a line item with a $100.00 amount, you cannot set its value to $50.00 in the Subcontractor Schedule of Values.
