Things to Consider

• Required User Permissions:
  • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Commitments tool.
• Additional Information:
  • To complete the steps below, the contract will need to be in the 'Draft' status. However, if the 'Enable Always Editable Bill of Quantities' configuration setting is turned ON in this tool, users with the required user permission to Edit a Commitment can edit the Bill of Quantities when a commitment is in any status.

• For companies using the  ERP Integrations tool: Show/Hide  

  • In order to send the commitment to the ERP Integrations tool to be accepted for export by an accounting approver:
    • Integration by Ryvit. The commitment must have at least one (1) BOQ line item with a Integration by Ryvit phase code. In addition, the cost code must be assigned to at least one (1) category. See Assign Default Cost Types To Integration by Ryvit Cost Codes). Important! When a commitment is exported to Integration by Ryvit, it must have a unique commitment number. Procore recommends that the numbering convention you set up for the Commitments tool is preceded by the Project Number and then uses the default numbering system. For example, if your Project Number is 001, your numbering system would be 001-001, 001-002, 001-003 and so on.
