Accept or Decline an 'Invite to Bill' as an Invoice Contact
Objective
To accept or decline an 'Invite to Bill' as an invoice contact.
Background
After creating a new billing period, an invoice administrator can send an 'Invite to Bill to the invoice contact on a commitment. The invite reminds the contact to submit their invoice by the Open billing period's due date. The subject line reads "Project Name: User Name has invited you to bill." Invoice contacts can then accept or decline the invite.
Tip
Missing your 'Invite to Bill'? Invoice contacts can create new invoices in Procore. See Create a Subcontractor Invoice.Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- You must be an invoice contact on a commitment.
- Additional Information:
- Invoice contacts must log into the upstream collaborator's Procore account to view an invoice online.
- If the 'Due Date' on the billing period is in the past, invoice contacts cannot submit an invoice. An invoice administrator must Create an Subcontractor Invoice on Behalf of an Invoice Contact.
- If an invoice contact doesn't immediately create an invoice after accepting the invite, they retain the ability to Create a New Subcontractor Invoice as an Invoice Contact.
