PROCORE SUPPORT: INTERNAL NOTES
Some Procore customers choose to grant downstream collaborators a higher level of permissions than documented in this matrix. Although this practice is supported, it is NOT recommended for the reasons stated below:
- 'Standard' level permissions on the project's Commitments tool. Although this permission gives designated payment application contacts the ability to create payment applications with the Commitments tool, it also gives users permission to see ALL purchase orders and subcontracts that are NOT marked 'Private.' Because payment application contacts are not employees of the company account managing the Procore project, it is recommended that users do NOT provide this permission to payment application contacts.
- 'Admin' level permission on the project's Commitments tool. Although this permission gives users the ability to create payment applications, it gives the user full edit access to all of the commitments in the project's Commitments tool. It also gives the user permission to create payment applications before and after the 'Due Date.' Because payment application contacts are not employees of the company account managing the Procore project, it is recommended that users do NOT provide this permission to payment application contacts.

Commitment Payment application retention controls Now In General Availability (10/02/2025)
Procore is pleased to announce the general availability of commitment payment application retention controls for Payment application Management. The new 'Subcontractor Default Payment application Type' drop-down in Configure Settings: Payment applications lets 'Admin' users determine billable columns—Work and Materials, and/or Retention. 'Admin' users can select billing options when sending invites to bill and set a default payment application type for payment applications created by subcontractors without an invite. Learn more about this feature by visiting Send an Invite to Bill to a Payment Application Contact and Accept or Decline an Invite to Bill as a Payment Application Contact.
Automated Movement of Stored Materials on Payment applications Now In General Availability (10/02/2025)
Procore is pleased to announce the general availability of automated movement of stored materials on payment applications. This feature automatically transfers stored materials balances to the "Work Completed from Previous Application" column on subsequent payment applications, streamlining the payment applications process for both owners and subcontractors. This functionality eliminates manual adjustments and reduces the risk of errors, saving you time and improving accuracy. Learn more about this feature by visiting About Stored Materials.
Conditional Routing for Commitment Payment applications Based on Stored Materials Now Generally Available (28/01/2025)
Procore has introduced a new feature in the Workflows tool that allows Project Managers and Project Accountants to route commitment payment applications through workflow steps based on Materials Stored Amount. The Materials Stored Amount option enables users to set a monetary threshold for workflow routing, allowing conditional routing of workflows based on a specified amount of Stored Materials. To learn more, see Create a Workflow Template and What are the different types of steps in a workflow?
Enhanced Commitment Payment applications Workflow Conditionals (06/01/2025)
Procore updated the Workflows tool with new conditional routing options for subcontractor payment applications to improve flexibility. Payment applications can now be routed through workflow steps based on factors such as Gross Amount, Retention Released Amount, Total Retention Released and Total Completed and Stored to Date. See Create a Workflow Template and What are the different types of steps in a workflow?
Beta Commitment Payment application retention controls for payment application management (10/12/2024)
A new ‘Subcontractor Default Payment application Type’ drop-down in Configure Settings: Payment applications allows ‘Admin’ users to determine what columns are billable on a payment application–Work and Materials, and/or Retention. When sending invites to bill, ‘Admin’ users can now select what can be billed for on the payment application created from that invite. Users can also set a default payment application type for payment applications created by subcontractors who aren’t sent an invite. See Send an Invite to Bill to a Payment Application Contact and Accept or Decline an Invite to Bill as a Payment Application Contact.
Bill for Stored Materials on Unit Quantity Contracts (11/11/2024)
Procore is excited to announce the general availability of the Stored Materials on Unit Quantity Contract Payment applications, allowing Procore Payment application Management users to bill for and track stored materials directly in Procore’s Unit/Quantity-based subcontractor and main contract payment applications. These capabilities enhance efficiency and help teams ensure accurate billing. To learn more, see About Stored Materials on Payment applications.
Beta Automated Movement of Stored Materials on Payment applications (12/08/2024)
Procore implemented a configuration that, when enabled, automatically moves Stored Materials balances to the Work Completed from Previous Application column on the next payment application created. This configuration applied to both Owner and Subcontractor Payment applications. To access the new stored materials functionality, teams must join the Closed Beta program for Automated Movement of Stored Materials. For information, contact your Procore point of contact. To learn more, see About Stored Materials.
Beta Bill for stored materials on unit/quantity-based Contracts (15/08/2024)
Teams participating in the Owner Payment application and Subcontractor Payment application Beta programmes can now bill for stored materials using the ‘Unit/Quantity-Based’ accounting method. Billing for stored materials on payment applications helps contractors recover costs and ensures accurate documentation by differentiating between installed and stored materials. To access the new stored materials functionality, teams must join the Closed Beta program for Unit/Quantity-Based contracts for each payment application type. For information, contact your Procore point of contact. To learn how to use the functionality, see About Stored Materials on Payment applications.
Include Procore Pay Lien Waivers in Subcontractor Payment application Backups (12/08/2024)
Procore has updated the Project level Payment applications tool for payors using Procore Pay. Now, when compiling a subcontractor payment application backup, the system includes any first- and sub-tier lien waivers in the downloadable PDF backup file. This enhancement streamlines documentation, providing comprehensive proof of payment and supporting documents need to efficiently resolve non-payment disputes. See Compile Subcontractor Payment application Backups with the Payment Applications Tool.
Improved File Names for Subcontractor Payment application Backup PDFs (12/08/2024)
Whenever a user compiles a subcontractor payment application backup, Procore sends the user an email when the file is ready to download. Before this update, Procore always named the backup file "subcontractor_invoice_backup.pdf". To improve clarity and ease of identification, Procore now automatically appends the project name, project number, date and time of the compile in the file name. For an example, see Compile Subcontractor Payment application Backups with the Payment Applications Tool.
Improved Sorting in Subcontractor Payment application Backup PDFs (06/08/2024)
When compiling subcontractor payment application backups, Procore now sorts payment applications by 'Contract #' in ascending order. It also applies a secondary sort by 'Invoice Position' number. This improves the clarity and organisation of the payment applications included in the downloadable backup file.

Variation Titles Now Display on Owner Payment application PDFs (25/07/2024)
Now, when you export owner payment application PDFs, you will see the complete titles of your variations, not just the numbers, bringing clarity and ease to your payment applications process. Before exporting, simply apply the Main Contract Variation, Potential Variation, or Variation Request options to the Bill of Quantities using the 'Select Groups to Display' menu for both the 'Industry Standard' and 'Custom Configuration' column views. To learn more, see Export Main Contract Payment Applications.
Improved Subtotals Display on Owner Payment application PDFs (22/07/2024)

IMPROVED ROW GROUPS ON OWNER INVOICE SCHEDULE OF VALUES (24/05/2024)
When you create a new owner payment application, the row groups on the new payment application's Bill of Quantities now mirror the user's most recent groupings from the previous payment application. This consistency makes data entry easier, especially when users create new payment applications for progress payments. To learn how to create a payment application, see Create Main Contract Payment Applications.
