This table shows the differences in tool names (bold) and terms across the point-of-view dictionaries for Project Financials. These dictionaries are available in US English only. The default dictionary is designed for general contractors, which means that you will need to work with your Procore Administrator at your company and your Procore point of contact to access the other dictionary options.

Objective

To compile a backup that includes all PDF attachments for one or more progress billings.

Background

A progress billing backup lets you generate a single PDF that contains a PDF copy of each individual progress billing that you select. This feature saves valuable time so you don't have to manually export multiple progress billings or compile those downloads into a single PDF. Instead, Procore does this work for you.

Things to Consider

Required User Permissions:
- 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Commitments tool.
  Notes
  
  Access permissions to the Invoicing & Progress Billings tools are governed by the permissions set on the Commitments and/or Client Contracts, Funding, or Prime Contracts tool. Procore tool names vary, depending on the point-of-view dictionary configured in Procore. See What tool names and terms are different in Procore for general contractors, owners, and specialty contractors?
  
  If you are a collaborator (for example, an invoice contact employed by a company performing work on a project managed in Procore, your ability to perform invoice-related tasks is determined by the Procore company account holder. Settings that the account holder may choose to provide to you include:
  
  A Procore User account.
  
  Access permissions to the project's Commitments and/or Client Contracts, Funding, or Prime Contracts tool.
  
  Membership on the 'Private' list of a specific contract or funding
  
  Designated as an 'Invoice Contact' on the contract or funding.
