Add the Unit-Based Columns to a Procore Budget View

Objective

To create and configure budget view columns for the unit-based financial feature and add those columns to the 'Procore Standard Budget' view. 

Background

The following source columns can be added to Procore's non-ERP Standard Budget views:

• Standard Budget Columns
  Before you can track productivity on your budget, you must first set up three columns on the budget view that you want to use:
  • Unit Cost
  • Budgeted Production Unit of Measure (UOM)
  • Budget Unit Qty
• Source Columns
  • Change Event Unit Qty (which can be used as filters for Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) and Revenue ROM)
  • Direct Costs Unit Qty
  • Prime Unit Qty
  • Timecard Entry Hours
• Calculated Columns
  In addition to being able to create calculated columns with the unit-based columns listed above, there is also a new 'Number' column. The 'Number' column treats entries in the column as a number value, rather than a currency or percentage value. For example, if you create this column on your budget and then enter the number 10 as an entry in this column, you can use that number as a multiplier in a budget line calculation (for example, $1,000 times 10 equals $10,000). For more information about creating calculated columns, see Set Up a New Budget View.

Things to Consider

• Required User Permissions:
  • 'Admin' on the company's Admin tool. 
• For companies using the ERP Integrations tool:
  • If you add the unit-based columns to the Procore ERP Direct Cost Budget or any ERP-integrated views, keep in mind that syncing the unit-based columns is NOT currently supported by Procore's integrated ERP systems.
