Accept or Reject a Budget for Export to Sage 300 CRE

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 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 and unlocks it in the Budget 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.
