Configure Settings: Funding

Objective

To update the configuration settings on the project's Funding tool.

Background

When setting up a Procore project, a user with 'Admin' level permissions on the Funding tool configures the tool's settings. The settings are applied globally to all of the fundings in the project:

• Funding Configuration. Define the number of variation tiers for the project. This grants users with 'Standard' level permissions on the Funding tool the privilege to create potential variations. You can also choose to make a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) editable (or not) when its in the 'Approved' status.
• Default Distributions. Choose which project users should receive email notifications.
• Funding Sources. List the project's funding sources. A funding source can include central government, state and local funds, bonds, grants, tax revenue, loans, programmes and more.

You can also set up customised settings to apply to each funding in the project. To learn more, see Edit the Advanced Settings on a Funding.

Things to Consider

• Required User Permissions:
  • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Funding tool.
• Additional Information:
  • There are other settings you can configure on an individual funding. See Edit the Advanced Settings on a Funding.

Prerequisites

• Set the number of variation tiers on the project. See What are the different variation tier settings in Project Financials?

Steps

1. Navigate to the project's Funding tool.
2. Click the Configure Settings icon.
3. Under Contract Configuration, do the following:
   
   1. Number of Funding Variation Tiers
      Select one (1) option from the drop-down list to define how variations are managed on the project:

      Important

      This setting cannot be changed after the first variation is created on the project.
      • 1. A one (1) tier variation configuration requires users to create only funding variations. See Create a Funding Variation.
      • 2. A two (2) tier variation configuration gives users the ability to Create a Potential Variation that can then be grouped into a single funding variation and sent to a user for approval. This is the default setting for Procore projects.

         Note

        A three (3) tier variation configuration is also available. To learn more, see What are the different variation tier settings in Project Financials?
   2. Allow Standard Level Users to Create FCOs
      Place a mark in this tickbox to grant users with 'Standard' permissions the ability to create a PV on the Variations tab of a funding.
      Note: If you clear the mark from the tickbox, only users with 'Admin' permission can create a PV using the Variations tab of a funding.
   3. Enable Always Editable Programme of Values
      Mark this tickbox to provide users with editing permissions the ability to add, update and remove line items from the BOQ when the funding is in any status. Clear the mark to restrict users from editing the bill of quantities. To learn more, see What is the 'Enable Always Editable Bill of Quantities' setting?
4. Under Funding Dates, users who have been granted 'Admin' level permissions on the company's Admin tool can click the Contract Fieldsets page in the Company Admin Tool link in the BLUE informational banner pictured below.
   

   Note

   The 'Funding Dates' section has been moved to the 'Fieldsets' tab in Company level Admin tool. To learn how to create fieldsets, see Create New Configurable Fieldsets.
