Accept or Reject a Budget for Export to MRI Platform X®

Objective

To accept (or reject) a budget that has been sent to the ERP Integrations tool for acceptance for export to the integrated ERP system by an accounting approver.

Background

After a user sends a project's budget to the ERP Integrations tool, your company's designated accounting approver must 'Accept' the data before the system will export it to the integrated ERP system. If there is at least one (1) budget line item in the ERP Integrations tool awaiting acceptance, Procore will send the approver(s) an automated email notification with the subject line 'ERP Integrations Daily Summary'. This email is sent one per day until an 'Accept' or 'Reject' response is submitted. The email also lists all of the budget items awaiting acceptance.

To submit a response, the accounting approver has these options in the ERP Integrations tool:

Accept. Accepts the budget and exports the data to the integrated ERP system.
OR
Reject. Rejects the budget. This removes the data from the ERP Integrations tool so it can corrected and then re-sent to the ERP Integrations tool for accounting acceptance.

To learn how to accept or reject a budget, see the Steps below.

Note that the Budget Export tab includes certain fields for MRI Platform X® which are applicable to Budget Revisions but not Original Budgets. However, these fields will appear in Procore for any budget export; your accounting approvers can ignore them if the budget being exported is an Original Budget that includes no Revisions (i.e., budget modifications or revised estimates).

Things to Consider

Required User Permission:
- 'Standard' or 'Admin' on the company's ERP Integrations tool.
  AND
- The person's account must be granted the 'Can Push to Accounting' privilege in the Company Directory.
  Note: To submit a request to be granted this privilege, your company's Procore Administrator must submit request to your Procore point of contact. This privilege can only be granted to individuals by Procore.
Prerequisites:
- Complete the steps in MRI Platform X®: Setup Guide.
- Add the Budget Tool to the Project Tools menu. See Add and Remove Project Tools.
Restrictions:
After exporting a Procore budget to MRI Platform X® , the following restrictions are in place:
- You no longer be permitted to import MRI Platform X® budget or job data into Procore.
- You will not be permitted to unlock the Procore project's Budget tool (see Unlock a Budget), unless the following is true:
  - The exported entries have been manually posted to your MRI Platform X® system using the Job Cost function. See your MRI Platform X® Help system for instructions.
Limitations:
- The Procore + MRI Platform X® does NOT sync 'Unit of Measure (UOM)' and 'Unit Qty' values between systems (see Which units of measure are included on Procore's master list?). Currently, the Budget sync is amount-based only. This means you must manually enter the units in both Procore and in your intergrated ERP system.

Steps

Review a Budget
- Accept a Budget
- Reject a Budget

Review a Budget

Navigate to the company's ERP Integrations tool.
Click the Budgets tab.
Under Filter Estimates By, click Ready to Export.
If the estimate export includes a budget revision (i.e., a budget modification or revised estimate), you should consider the following additional fields. Note that these fields appear even for original budgets, but they can be ignored if no budget revision is to be exported:
1. Budget Revision Type (REQUIRED): Select the Budget Revision Type among the three options that MRI Platform X® allows - Scope Change, Budget Transfer, and Contingency.
2. Revision Date (REQUIRED) – Choose the date for the revision. This field defaults to today’s date.
3. Budget Revision Status (optional) – You can choose a budget status among the two options that MRI Platform X® allows - Approved, Pending. By default, MRI Platform X® will assign a “Pending” status.
Review the accepted budget items to ensure the data is ready for export. Then choose your response:
- Accept a Budget
- Reject a Budget
