Objective

Background

Note that the Budget Export tab includes certain fields for Yardi Voyager® 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).

    • '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. See Grant Accounting Approver Privileges.

Steps

Review a Budget

  1. Navigate to the company's ERP Integrations tool.
  2. Click the Budgets tab.
  3. Under Filter Estimates By, click Ready to Export. 
  4. 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 Yardi Voyager® 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 Number (optional) – Set a number for the budget revision. By default, Yardi Voyager® assigns sequential numbers for each synced modification on the job.
    4. Budget Revision Status (optional) – You can choose a budget status among the four options that Yardi Voyager® allows - Approved, Pending, Forecasted, and Rejected. By default, Yardi Voyager® will assign a “Pending” status.
    5. Approved By User (optional) – You can enter the name of the approving user. By default, Yardi Voyager® will show our integration user’s name.
  5. Review the accepted budget items to ensure the data is ready for export. Then choose your response:
