Manage Contract Compliance Documents & Statuses for a Commitment
Objective
To manage contract compliance documents & statuses in a commitment.
Background
Procore Pay adds a 'Compliance' tab to a project's commitments. The controls in the 'Contract Compliance Documents' card work with the 'Contract Compliant' setting in the 'Payment Requirements' tab of the Company level Payments tool. Together, these features and settings let your team review and track the status of the commitment contract's compliance documents (i.e., agreements, bonds, licenses, permits, and more). This helps your team ensure that all documents are in compliance with the contract's requirements before releasing invoice payments with Procore Pay.
There are two (2) methods for managing contract compliance documents for the 'Contract Company' associated with a commitment. Your team can choose to use one (1) of these methods:
- Manage Contract Compliance Documents and Status (No Attachments). Choose this method if you simply want to track whether a commitment's documents are compliant with the contract or not. With this method, users can simply click the 'Edit' button to change the commitment's 'Compliance Status' and enter a 'Description', they do NOT attach files. This option is useful if your team chooses to manage your contract compliance documents in an external system.
OR - Manage Contract Compliance Documents and Statuses (Add Attachments). Choose this method if you want to upload individual documents and track the status of each document. With this method, users can simply click the 'Create New' button to open a preview window with a 'Details' panel to enter document information and attach one (1) or more files. This option is useful when your team wants to manage contract compliance documents in a Procore commitment.
