Things to Know about the Project Financials + Yardi Voyager® Connector

Background

Each of Procore's available ERP connectors perform the basic function of syncing data between the ERP system and Procore, usually in the same way as other connectors. However, each connector has a unique set of items it can sync and the way those items are synced will vary based on how that ERP system and its corresponding integration are built to function. 

Yardi Voyager®, like all ERP integrations, has some key considerations, limitations and things to know about how each Procore object is synced. Those considerations, limitations and things to know are outlined in the table below according to tool or item being synced.
