This Invoice Administrator Guide provides companies that have purchased Procore Pay icon-external-link.png  with helpful information about managing Procore Pay features with the Invoice Management tools.

This guide assumes your team has completed the steps in the Payor Setup Guide. Topics include:

  • Manage Invoices. Learn how to manage subcontractor using the Invoice Management tools in Procore.
  • Manage Compliance. Learn how to manage contract documents and statuses. This guide also shows you how to manaage insurance documents and statuses, with or without the insurance features in the Directory tool. 
  • Manage Payment Holds. Learn how to create, apply, and release manual payment holds on  invoices. 
  • Manage Payment Requirements. Learn how your team configures payment requirements for your company's invoices. This guide also shows you how to view those requirements on an invoice to determine when an invoice in ready to pay. 
  • Manage Lien Waivers. Learn how to set default lien waiver template for a project and other helpful steps for collecting signed lien waivers with subcontractor invoices. 
  • Manage Sub-Tier Waivers. Learn how to provide payees with the ability to collect signed lien waivers from their sub-tier subcontractors outside of Procore. Once configured, a payee's invoice contact can add sub-tier information and upload signed sub-tier waivers in their subcontractor invoice. 

What is Pay?

Pay builds on the existing Project Financials and Invoice Management tools in Procore to streamline the subcontractor invoice payment process and automate the lien waiver exchange.

What is an invoice administrator?

In Procore, an Invoice Administrator is a Procore user who is granted 'Admin' level permissions on the Project level Commitments tool. This user (or group of users) can manage billing periods and configure settings for the Project level Invoicing tool. Because a subcontractor invoice originates in the Commitments tool, invoice administrators can also manage a project's commitments and subcontractor invoices. 

Common Questions

How do I add invoice Administrators to Procore?

To add an invoice administrator to the Project level Commitments tool:

  1. A company admin completes the steps in Add a User Account to the Company Directory
  2. A company admin or project admin completes the steps in Add an Existing User to Projects in Your Company's Procore Account.
  3. A project admin (or another invoice administrator) grants the user 'Admin' level permissions on the Project level Commitments tool.
 Note
Invoice administrator permissions are allocated on a project-by-project basis. To manage these permissions, Procore recommends following the steps in Create a Project Permissions Template.

Do invoice administrators need to be granted special access to Procore tools? 

In Procore, an invoice administrator only requires 'Admin' level permissions on the Project level Commitments tool. This allows the user to manage billing periods and configure the Invoicing Settings in the Project level Invoicing tool. Because subcontractor invoices originate in the Commitments tool, invoice administrators can also manage a project's commitments and subcontractor invoices. 

 Important
Does your invoice administrator also need to manage owner invoices? To view owner invoices in the Owner tab of the Project level Invoicing tool, Procore recommends that you also grant administrators 'Admin' level permissions on the Project level Prime Contacts tool. Adding this permission level allows a user to also manage prime contracts and owner invoices. 

Who can be an Invoice Administrator? 

An Invoice Administrator is a person or group of people responsible for collecting, reviewing, and creating invoices in Procore. An invoice administrator can be any person in your organization (for example, a project manager, an accountant, or a team of bookkeepers) who have been granted the appropriate permissions to manage invoices on your contracts and/or fundings.  

What can invoice administrators add or update in Procore

With 'Admin' level permissions on the Project level Commitments tool, invoice administrators can manage billing periods and configure the Invoicing Settings in the Project level Invoicing tool. Because subcontractor invoices originate in the Commitments tool, invoice administrators can also manage a project's commitments and subcontractor invoices.

Can invoice administrators designate invoice contacts? 

Yes. Invoice administrators have permission to designate invoice contacts for subcontractor invoices on a project's commitments. See How do I designate a user as an invoice contact?

Create Subcontractor Invoices

An invoice administrator has these options to create invoices: (1) Send an 'Invite to Bill' to provide invoice contacts with the ability to submit their own invoices in Procore, or (2) Gather digital or paper invoices, outside of Procore, and create them yourself in Procore. With the first option, you must provide an external collaborator with access permission to the Project level Commitments tool and add that person as invoice contact on a commitment. With the second option, no external access permissions are required.

Add Invoice Contacts

  1. Navigate to the project's Invoicing tool.
     Tip

     Notes

    As you review each line item, keep in mind:

    • Invoice administrators can review line items on any invoice:
      • You are NOT limited to reviewing only the most recent invoice.
      • Rejecting line item(s) does NOT change line item amount(s). Amounts must be updated by an invoice administrator or invoice contact.
      • Downstream invoice contacts can only update invoices when granted the required user permissions to submit invoices. See Revise & Resubmit an Invoice as an Invoice Contact.
    • If you have turned the 'Show Amounts Subcontractors Claim' toggle ON in the Invoicing tool the 'Proposed Amount' column appears.
    • The 'Proposed Amount' column can reflect what an invoice contact submitted, a user with 'Admin' level permissions can adjust the 'Work Completed This Period' and 'Materials Presently Stored' columns separately to set the appropriate amounts.
    • To approve a line item, click the GREY checkmark to approve it. A GREEN checkmark indicates you have approved the line item.

      What status do I change the invoice to? To learn more about the available statuses, see What are the default statuses for Procore invoices? 

Manage Insurance Documents & Statuses

The steps to follow depend on the management method your team decides to use:

Manage Insurance Compliance Status with the Commitments Tool

If your company simply wants to track whether a commitment is compliant with insurance requirements or not, users with the appropriate permissions can input the commitment's status directly in the Commitments tool. 

  1. Navigate to the Project level Commitments tool. 
  2. Under the Contracts tab, locate the commitment to work with.
  3. Click the Number link to open it. 
  4. Click the Compliance tab. 
  5. In the Insurance card, click the Edit button. 
     Note

    When managing insurance compliance status with the Commitments tool, you do not use the Add Insurance button. The add button is only used when managing insurance documents and compliance status with the Directory tool. See Manage Insurance Documents and Compliance Status with the Directory Tool.

    insurance-card-edit.png
  6. In the Compliance Status drop-down list, select one of the following statuses:
    • Compliant. If the commitment contract is in compliance with its insurance requirements, select this option. 
    • Not Compliant. If the commitment contract is NOT in compliance with its insurance requirements, select this option. 
    • Not Required. If tracking compliance status is not required for this commitment, select this option. Selecting this option has no effect on the commitment's overall insurance compliance status. 
  7. Enter any information about the insurance compliance status in the Description field. 

    manually-input-compliance-status.png
     
  8. Click Save
    This saves the insurance compliance status and logs your entry in the commitment's Change History tab. You can change the status or description at any time using the Edit button. 
     Tip
    Want to switch from managing insurance compliance with the Commitments tool to managing insurance documents and compliance status with the Directory tools? If you initially manage insurance compliance status with the Commitments tool and later decide to manage insurance documents and compliance statuses with the Directory tools, any previous compliance status changes are saved in the commitment's Change History tab. See View the Change History of a Commitment. After you switch, insurance changes are logged in the Company or Project level Directory tool's Change History tab. 

Manage Insurance Documents and Compliance Statuses with the Directory Tools

If your company adds insurance documents for your contractors, subcontractors, and vendors in the Company and/or Project Directory tools, Procore automatically manages the insurance compliance status of each document for you.

  1. Navigate to the Project level Commitments tool. 
  2. Under the Contracts tab, locate the commitment to work with.
  3. Click the Number link to open it.
  4.  In the commitment, click the Compliance tab.
  5. Scroll to the Insurance card. 
  6. Choose from these options:
     Note
    When managing insurance information with the Directory tools, actions are always logged in the Change History tab of the corresponding Directory tool instead of the commitment's Change History tab. 

Add Insurance

To add new insurance information, choose the appropriate option:

About Lien Waivers

A lien waiver is a legal document signed in exchange for payment that waives the signer's right to file a lien for the amount specified in the waiver. A lien is a legal claim filed by a contractor or supplier against the property. The property is used as collateral to satisfy the debt(s) to the downstream collaborator(s). See What is a downstream collaborator?

In the simplest terms:

  • A lien protects a contractor or supplier from not getting paid. 
  • A lien waiver protects the property owner from a lien.  
Example

An Owner-Builder acting as their own General Contractor on a job or a General Contractor hires you, the specialty contractor, to perform work on a construction project. As the specialty contractor, you possess the right to file a lien against the owner's property until the Owner-Builder or General Contractor pays you for your work. Any subcontractors or suppliers that you hire to perform work or deliver materials on the job site also have the right to file a lien against the property, which serves as collateral for the work and/or materials they provide. A lien waiver signifies that a contractor (a general contractor, a specialty contractor, a subcontractor, and/or a supplier) has released their right to file a lien against the property.

Lien Waiver Types

With Procore Pay, payors can create four (4) different types of lien waiver templates to use on their construction projects: Progress Conditional, Progress Unconditional, Final Conditional, and Final Unconditional.

 Tip
How do you create a lien waiver template? See Create Lien Waiver Templates.

Enable Waivers & Set Default Templates

  1. Navigate to the Project level Invoicing tool.
  2. Click the Settings icons-settings-gear.png icon.
    This opens the Invoicing tool's Settings page. 
  3. Scroll to the Lien Waivers section. Then choose from these options:
     Tips
    • Don't see any options? The lien waiver settings must be enabled for Procore Pay. See Enable Lien Waivers in the Company Payments Tool. See The project must have a 'State' selected in the Project level Admin tool on the General tab in the Project Location section.
    • What do the different lien waiver types mean? To learn about the types, see What types of lien waiver templates can you create?
    • Enable Conditional Lien Waivers
      Mark this checkbox to enable the use of any conditional lien waiver templates created for use by your company. Clear the checkbox to disable the use of those templates. When you mark the checkbox, you also have the option to set the default template for the project:
      enable-conditional-lien-waivers.png
       Tips
      • Where do the templates in the drop-down list come from? A Payments Admin creates custom templates in the Company level Payments tool. See Create Lien Waiver Templates. For a custom template to appear in this list, the 'State' defined for the template must match the Procore project's Project Location information.
      • How do I know if a lien waiver is compliant with State requirements? For states that mandate the use of a specific lien waiver form, Procore Pay's Levelset integration provides lien waiver templates that comply with state requirements. For states that don't have specific mandates, best practice templates are also available. To help you achieve compliance, see Lien Waiver Release Forms - State by State icon-external-link.png on the Levelset website. Note: You are responsible for ensuring that lien waiver templates are compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. For questions regarding compliance, always consult a legal advisor. 
      • Why can't I select a template from the drop-down list? If the drop-down list is grayed out and unavailable, that particular type of lien waiver is not available in the state associated with the project, according to Levelset's line waiver database. 
      • What do the different lien waiver types mean? To learn about the types, see What types of lien waiver templates can you create? 
      • Progress Conditional
        Select the template to use as your project's default lien waiver template. Click Preview to download a PDF version of the template.
      • Final Conditional
        Select the template to use as your project's default lien waiver template. Click Preview to download a PDF version of the template.
         Tip
        Why did the template open in a browser or third-party application? Your computer or browser settings are most likely configured to open PDF files automatically. To change your system's settings, search for instructions online or contact your company's IT department for assistance. 
    • Enable Unconditional Lien Waivers
      Mark this checkbox to enable the use of any conditional lien waiver templates created for use by your company. Clear the checkbox to disable the use of those templates. When you mark the checkbox, you also have the option to set the default template for the project:

      enable-unconditional-lien-waivers.png
       
      • Progress Unconditional
        Select the template to use as your project's default lien waiver template. Click Preview to download a PDF version of the template.
      • Final Unconditional
        Select the template to use as your project's default lien waiver template. Click Preview to download a PDF version of the template.
  4. Enter the name of the project's owner in the Property Owner field. This is a required field that becomes active when you enable the Conditional and/or Unconditional Lien Waivers options on the project's Invoicing tool.

 Tip
Want to collect sub-tier lien waivers from the sub-tier contractors who perform work for your first-tier subcontractor? To learn how to enable sub-tier lien waiver collection, see Enable Sub-Tier Waivers on Subcontractor Invoices as an Invoice Administrator.

Generate Lien Waivers

  1. Create a new invoice or open an existing invoice on a Procore project. 
     Tip
    How do you create an invoice? An invoice administrator can create an invoice and enter the data on behalf of the invoice contact. Alternatively, the administrator can invite the downstream collaborator's invoice contact to enter and submit their invoice. See Create a Subcontractor Invoice
  2. In the invoice, scroll down to the Lien Waivers card.
    Procore Pay automatically generates the appropriate lien waiver(s) and shows the date on the Lien Waivers card. New lien waivers are automatically placed into the Pending Signature status.

    lien-waivers-pending-signature.png
     Tips

    generate-lien-waivers-empty-state.png

Preview Lien Waivers

  1. Create a new invoice or open an existing one.
     Tips

    How do you create a new invoice? The steps you follow in your environment depend on your role and the permissions you've been granted to the Invoice Management tools in the payor's Procore project. See Create a Subcontractor Invoice

  2. In the invoice, scroll to the Lien Waivers card. 
  3. Locate the lien waiver to preview in the table. The table lists lien waivers in the 'Pending Signature' and/or 'Signed' state.  
     Tip
    How does Procore populate the lien waivers list? First, your company's Payments Admin follows the steps in Create Lien Waiver Templates and Enable Lien Waivers in the Company Payments Tool. Next, an invoice administrator on your project follows the steps in Enable Lien Waivers & Set Default Templates on Projects. The template(s) that populate the list in the Lien Waivers card are based on the 'Billing Type' option set on the invoice and the default template.  
    lien-waivers-card-pending-signature.png
  4. Optional. Click the Preview button.  
    This downloads a PDF copy of the lien waiver to your computer.
     Tips
    • Where is the downloaded file? Most web browsers save files to a Downloads folder on your computer. To find this location, Procore recommends checking your web browser's settings. You can also search for instructions online or contact your IT department for assistance. 
    • Why is the downloaded file opening automatically? Your computer's operating system or web browser is most likely configured to open PDF files in a specific software program. To change this setting, search for instructions online or contact your IT department for assistance. 
    • Why does my button label say View? After an invoice contact signs a lien waiver, the status of the lien waiver changes to 'Signed', and the Preview button's label changes to View

What is a sub-tier subcontractor?

sub-tier is any subcontractor (for example, a subcontractor, supplier, or vendor) who furnishes materials, supplies, or services connected to the first-tier subcontractor's obligations on a commitment. In Procore Pay, a first-tier subcontractor is the 'Contract Company' who enters into a commitment contract with a General Contractor. Both first-tier and sub-tier contractors might hire additional sub-tiers (for example, third-tier, fourth-tier, and so on). 

Enable Sub-Tier Waivers on a Subcontractor Invoice

    Invoice contacts must collect signatures from their sub-tier contractors outside of Procore. Next, they upload and submit the signed waivers with their subcontractor invoice for the Open billing period. See Upload Sub-Tier Waivers to a Subcontractor Invoice as an Invoice Contact
    • Require unconditional waivers for the previous invoice prior to payment
      Most payors collect unconditional waivers for the previous invoice's billing period. This is the most frequently implemented setting. 
    • Require conditional waivers for the current invoice and unconditional waivers for the previous invoice
      Some payors collect conditional waivers for the current invoice's Open billing period and unconditional waivers for the previous invoice's billing period. 
    • Require unconditional waivers for the current invoice
      Some payors collect only unconditional sub-tier waivers for the current Open billing period. 
  6. Mark the Display Custom Instructions About Sub-Tier Waiver Submission checkbox to type a custom instruction message about sub-tier waiver submissions in the Enter Custom Instructions box. 
    Example

    If you only want to collect sub-tier waiver signatures from sub-tier subcontractors who invoiced over a certain amount (for example,$10,000.00), type the instructions and the amount in the text box. If you require notarized signatures on sub-tier waivers, include that in the instructions.
