Common Questions

How does Procore connect to my accounting system?

A Portfolio Financials customer builds a pre-defined ETL file to send Paid-to-Date information to Portfolio Financials. The system then creates a ZIP file and extracts tabular data to a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file. Images are extracted to the Portable Data File (PDF) format. All the data is then then transferred to and from the Portfolio Financials site using the Secure FTP (SFTP) protocol. 

How often is data exchanged between Procore and your accounting system?

Data exchange is as follows:

  • Payment information should match your payment cycle. For example, if you cut checks twice a week, it would be scheduled to coincide.
  • Imports of posted files occur hourly.
  • Exports occur in real-time. 
Do both ETL functions need to be enabled? 

No. The supported ETL functions can be turned on separately or in tandem.
