How do I create a billing period for a payment application?

Background

Billing Period defines the billing cycle used by a project's team and payment application contacts on Procore's payment applications and progress billings. In addition to defining the frequency of the billing cycle (for example, monthly or weekly), a billing period also defines the billing cycle's start/end date and the due date for the payment application or progress billing. 

Examples

Common billing periods include:

  • Monthly
    Examples of common monthly billing periods are below:
    • Starts on the 1st day of a month and ends on the 30th of the same month.
    • Starts on the 15th of one month and ends on the 14th of the following month. 
  • Weekly 
    Examples of common weekly billing periods are below:
    • Starts on Sunday of this week and ends on Saturday of this week.

Answer

You have two options to create a billing period in Procore project's Payment applications and Progress Billings tools:

 Notes
  • If your Procore user account has been granted 'Admin' level permissions to the project's Commitments tool, you have sufficient permission to create automatic or manual billing periods in both the Payment applications and Progress Billings tools.

  • To Compile Payment application Backups or to Compile Progress Billing Backups, the billing periods for the selected payment application(s) or progress billing(s) must exist. Procore recommends that you do NOT delete billing periods after creating payment applications or progress billings for those periods.
