Create a Schedule of Values on a Client Contract using the Project's Budget
Objective
To create line items on a commitment contract's Schedule of Values (SOV) using the line items from a project's budget.
Background
After your construction project's original budget is finalized in the project's Budget tool, it is recommended that you lock the budget. Once locked, you can use the steps below to quickly import your budget line items to your prime contract's SOV. With this action, each line item on the project's budget creates a line item on the contract's SOV.
Example
The example below shows you the line items on a budget that can be used to create corresponding line items on the contract's SOV. For example, 01-000-Purpose: Labor, 01-002-Instructions: Labor, 01-010 Project Manager: Labor, and so on.

- If the SOV has existing line items, all existing line items will be replaced with the line items in the budget.

Procore replaces any existing line items on the Schedule of Values with the line items current in the project's budget. This can take several minutes. Once the import is complete, a GREEN banner appears to indicate the action was successful and the line items appear in the 'Schedule of Values' table.
