Steps
Perform an On-Demand Payment Sync
If you have 'Admin' level permission on the ERP Integrations tool or if your company has designated you as one of its accounting approvers, an on-demand sync lets you import bill payments made in your ERP system immediately.
- Ensure that these prerequisites have been completed:
- Complete the steps in Export Subcontractor Invoices from Procore to ERP.
- Pay the bills that you want to sync in your ERP system.
Note: The sync process supports both full and partial payments in your ERP system.
- Navigate to the ERP Integrations tool.
- Click Subcontractor Invoices.
- Click Sync Payments for Synced Invoices.
- After the next scheduled sync, follow these steps to verify that your bill payments have synced with the project's corresponding commitment:
- Navigate to the project's Commitments tool.
- Click View next to the commitment.
- Verify that the value in the Invoice # matches the number in your ERP system.
- Click the Payments Issued tab. A GREEN icon indicates that the bill payment has successfully been synced.
