Accept or Reject Subcontractor Invoices for Export to QuickBooks® Online
Objective
To accept or reject a subcontractor invoice that has been sent to the ERP Integrations tool for acceptance by an accounting approver.
Background
After a user sends an invoice to the ERP Integrations tool for accounting acceptance (see Send Subcontractor Invoices to ERP Integrations for Accounting Acceptance) an accounting approver has the option to 'Accept' or 'Reject' the invoice as follows:
- Accept. Accepts the invoice and exports it to QuickBooks® Online.
OR - Reject. Rejects the invoice and returns it to the Commitments tool where it can be corrected and then re-sent to the ERP Integrations tool for accounting acceptance. See Resend a Rejected Subcontractor Invoice to ERP Integrations for Accounting Acceptance
Note
If there is at least one (1) invoice in the ERP Integrations tool that is awaiting accounting acceptance, Procore sends an automated email notification to the designated accountant/s once per day with the subject line 'ERP Integrations Daily Summary.' This notification lists all items awaiting Accounting Approver review.

- Required User Permissions:
- 'Standard' or 'Admin' level permission on the ERP Integrations tool.
AND - The user must be granted the 'Can Push to Accounting' permission in the Company Directory. The 'Can Export' setting for the Subcontract Invoice sync type must also be enabled.
