Import a Prime Contract SOV from a CSV File

  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF

Objective

To update a prime contract's Schedule of Values (SOV) by uploading a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file to the Prime Contracts tool.

Background

A Schedule of Values (SOV) is a list of line items that details all of the agreed-upon costs (for example, labor, materials, and so on) on a project. Abbreviated as SOV, it itemizes the contract amount into individual pay items to show how the entire contract sum is allocated to all of the project's work. An SOV is also based on the project's approved budget and commonly used to determine progress payments to the contractor(s).

Add the SOV Line Items to the CSV Template

  1. Update the template that you downloaded with your SOV line items. 
     Notes
    • Do NOT add, rearrange, remove, or rename any of the columns or column headings in the template.
    • To complete the import successfully, your data needs to be entered using the exact structure specified in the template.
    • The cost code and cost type entries must exactly match the cost code and cost type segment items in your project's Work Breakdown Structure. See Create Your Project's Work Breakdown Structure.
  2. Complete the data entry as follows:
    import-csv-template.png
    1. Cost Code Name
      The detailed name of the cost code number is in the following format:
      'Division-Code - Title' (for example, 01-100 - Summary)
      Note: if you do not want to use a cost code, you must enter "None" in the Cost Code Name and Cost Code Number fields. 
    2. Cost Code Number
      The cost code number is in the following format:
      'Division-Code' (for example, 01-100)
      Note: if you do not want to use a cost code, you must enter "None" in the Cost Code Name and Cost Code Number fields. 
    3. Description
      Optional: A more detailed description of the line item.
    4. Optional: Line Item Type
      The cost type associated with your cost code (for example Labor, Materials, and so on).
       Notes
      • Your data entry must exactly match your company's cost type list. For example, if the category type is Materials, use M and not m, materials, or Materials. See What are Procore's default cost types? and Add Company Cost Types.
        • If you leave a cell in the Type column blank (as pictured above), Procore assigns the type as Other by default. 
        • If you input an invalid entry in a cell in the Type column, Procore also lists the type as Other by default. 
      • The import process is case-sensitive. 
    5. Amount
      Enter a numeric value or the contract amount.
       Notes
      • The use of commas and/or the dollar symbol ($) is not required. 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. 
      • Blank lines still count as lines in the import process, so be sure to delete them from the end of the SOV file before importing.
  3. Save your CSV template. 

 After completing the steps above, continue with Import the Completed CSV Template to Procore.
