Background

A 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

A payment application administrator has these options to create a billing period in the Project level Payment applications tool:

  • Automatic Billing Periods. Choose this option when your billing periods have a consistent start, end and due date. For example, weekly or monthly. For instructions, see Create Automatic Billing Periods.
  • Manual Billing Periods. Choose this option when you need to create billing periods for your payment applications and your billing periods are not on a consistent programme. For instructions, see Create Manual Billing Periods.
