Project Setup

Materials are managed by project. You can use the Materials tool in a new project or an existing project. After your project is created, you need to create locations for your project, including where your materials will be stored. 

  1. Create your Project
  2. Create locations in one of the following ways:
  3. Manually create storage locations, such as warehouses, by following these steps:

Overview

When managing your materials for a project, you can import a list of the required materials to the Materials tool.

After you import your materials, a needs document is automatically created, and you can create shipments and receipts to track orders placed outside of Procore. When receiving materials, you can immediately issue them for use at a job site, or you can store materials in your inventory to be issued at a later date.

Alternatively, you can create an adjustment to add quantities of the imported materials to your inventory. After materials are in inventory, they can be issued for use on your job site.

Optional: Create a UOSD Defect

 In Beta
This feature is currently in beta for select Procore customers.

Objective

To create a defect when you receive materials that are incorrect, damaged, over, or short.

Background

When you receive a shipment, check the materials to ensure all items are acceptable. Occasionally, you may receive materials that are unacceptable, over, short, or damaged (UOSD). If you find issues with the shipment, you can create a defect to track the issue, and resolve it with your vendor.

You can create a defect using the following statuses:

  • Damaged
  • Overage
  • Short
  • Unacceptable
    Note: This is typically used if the incorrect item was sent.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions
  • For overages and shorts, the parent receipt line quantity is updated, but the shipment quantity is kept the same. In other scenarios, the shipment quantity is automatically updated to match the receipt quantity when the receipt is posted.
  • After the receipt is posted, the UOSD ticket is automatically created after the receipt is posted. See Post a Receipt.

Post a Receipt

 In Beta
This feature is currently in beta for select Procore customers.

Objective

To post a receipt for materials that were received for your project.

Background

Imported materials and materials listed in approved orders from the Commitments tool appear in the Materials tool. From the Materials tool, you can create receipts to track the materials you have received. After all materials have been received, post the receipt to indicate that receiving is complete.

For companies with Procore Financials, a draft invoice is automatically created in Procore's Invoicing tool after you post the receipt.

Things to Consider

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Navigate to the project's Materials tool.
  2. Click the Control tab.
  3. Click the Receipts sub tab.
  4. Click the receipt number.
  5. Locate the 'Document Status'.
    materials-status.png
  6. Click Not Posted and select one of the following options:
    • Select Post to add the materials to your inventory. In the future, you can issue materials for handover.
    • Select Post > Direct Handover to Person to automatically issue and handover the materials.​​​​​​
    • Select Post > Direct Handover to Project to automatically issue and handover the materials.​​​​​​
 Tip

If you have an open billing period, a draft subcontractor invoice is automatically created in Procore's Invoicing tool after the receipt is posted. However, if a billing period is not open at the time the receipt is posted, a draft invoice will not be created, even if a billing period is opened at a later date.

Procore recommends that you do NOT manually create invoices for materials, as it will create a duplicate. The invoice automatically generated from the receipt cannot be deleted.

Overview

You can request materials to be used on your job site. Materials may already be in inventory, or may need to be ordered to fulfill the request. When materials are available in your inventory, your request can be approved and issued for handover.

Issue Materials for Handover

 In Beta
This feature is currently in beta for select Procore customers.

Objective

To issue materials to handover to a person.

Background

When receiving materials, they can be issued and handed over directly to a person or a project. See Post a Receipt. Alternatively, received materials can be stored in your inventory.

When materials move out of inventory, they must be picked from the inventory and issued to a person, project, or location. Materials can also be issued to a third party who is resolving a UOSD defect.

You can issue materials that were requested, using the issue ticket that was automatically created from the request. See Create a Request. Or, you can bypass the request process and issue materials directly by creating an issue ticket.

An issue ticket consists of one or more pick tickets. A pick ticket allows you to assign the picking task to an employee, and filter the line items in the issue ticket by location. The issue ticket is marked as 'Fulfilled' after all line items have been fully picked.

Things to Consider

Prerequisites

  • Materials must be available in inventory to be issued.

Transfer Overview

If you need to move materials to a new storage location, you can create a materials transfer. If the status of materials changes during the transfer, inventory counts may be impacted.

Example

You have 100 floorboards available in inventory. A transfer is created for 10 floorboards, but there is concern that the floorboards are damaged. The status of the materials in the transfer is updated to 'Unchecked', and material inventory shows 10 less floorboards available.

After the floorboards have been inspected and determined to be acceptable, you create a new transfer. In the transfer, select 'Unchecked' as the 'From Location', select the physical location of the material as the 'To Location', and set the Status for the line item to 'Checked > Acceptable'. The floorboards are again available in your inventory.
