Answer

Mark one or more tickboxes to turn a prefill option ON when creating main contract payment applications in the Main Contracts tool. These options allow Procore to automatically complete amounts on the owner payment application using data from eligible budget code line items on subcontractor payment applications, direct costs, and commitment variations in the approved statuses. 

 Important
Prefill options are only available when creating main contract payment applications. Procore does not allow users to prefill payment applications after clicking Create.

Notes: 
  • Subcontractor payment applications must be in the Approved, Approved as Noted or Pending Approval status. 
  • Direct costs and commitment variations must be in the Approved status.
  • Direct costs must have a 'Received Date' in the same billing period as the owner payment application.
  • Commitment variations must be connected to a main contract variation via a change event or to a corresponding budget code in the commitment's bill of quantities.
 Procore does NOT populate the bill of quantities with costs. Users must manually enter the bill of quantities data.
