Add SOV Line Items to the CSV Template

  1. Open the CSV template that you downloaded. 
  2. Identify which accounting method the purchase order or subcontract is using. See How do I set the accounting method for a contract or funding?
  3. Follow one of these steps to add line items to CSV file:

Amount-Based Accounting Method

When a contract is using the amount based accounting method (see How do I set the accounting method for a contract or funding?), enter line items in the downloaded template file as follows:

  • Sub Job Code
    If sub jobs are enabled on your project, enter the sub job code. This column only appears when sub jobs are enabled. 
     NoteS
  • Budget Line Item
    The budget line item number from the Prime Contract SOV. It is not necessary to fill this out, since Procore will tie all Cost Code/Category Combinations together automatically and place them on the Budget tool.
  • Cost Code Name
    The detailed name of the cost code number in the following format: 'Division-Code - Title'. For example, 01-100 - Summary.
  • Cost Code Number
    The cost code number in the following format: 'Division-Code'. For example, 01-100.
  • Description
    Optional: A more detailed description of the line item.
  • Line Item Type
    Enter the appropriate cost type abbreviation for the cost code.
     Notes
    • If your company is using Procore's default cost types and abbreviations, see What are Procore's default cost types? for a list of abbreviations.
    • If you do NOT enter a valid abbreviation, the system will automatically classify the entry under 'Other'.  If your company's Procore Administrator has created a list of custom cost types, enter one of those abbreviations here. See Add Company Cost Types.
    • If your project is NOT being synced with an integrated ERP system, this entry is optional. 
    • If your project is being synced with an integrated ERP system that supports the 'Cost Type' concept, this entry is required.  See Which integrated ERP systems support the 'Cost Type' concept?
  • Amount
    Enter a numeric value or the commitment amount. Do NOT enter commas and or the dollar ($) symbol. For example, '15000' is the correct syntax. If there is no dollar amount to enter, be sure to enter 0.00. The import will NOT accept a blank cell. 
    Note: Blank lines still count as lines in the import process, so be sure to delete them from the end of the CSV file before importing. 

Unit/Quantity Based Accounting Method

When a contract is using the unit/quantity-based accounting method (see How do I set the accounting method for a contract or funding?), enter line items in the downloaded template file as follows:

  • Sub Job Code
    If sub jobs are enabled on your project, enter the sub job code. This column only appears when sub jobs are enabled. 
     Notes
  • Subtotal Override
    To override the automatic calculation of the subtotal, enter a value here. If you enter a value here, always leave the Automatic Calculation fields ('Quantity', 'Unit Description', and 'Unit Price') blank. Do NOT complete both.
    OR
  • Automatic Calculation
    To use Procore's automatic calculation feature, enter a value in these fields. Do NOT complete the fields if you entered a value in the 'Subtotal Override' field. 
     Note
  • Optional: Description
    Enter a detailed description of the line item.
  • Cost Code Number
    Enter a cost code number in the following format: 'Division-Code'. For example 01-100.
  • Cost Code Name
    Enter a detailed name of the cost code number in the following format: 'Division-Code - Title'. For example 01-100 - Summary.
  • Budget Line Item
    Enter a budget line item from the prime contract's SOV. It is not necessary to fill this out, since Procore will tie all Cost Code/Category Combinations together automatically and place them on the Budget tool.
