Objective

To accept or decline an 'Invite to Bill' as an payment application contact.

Background

After creating a new billing period, an payment application administrator can send an 'Invite to Bill to the payment application contact on a commitment. The invite reminds the contact to submit their payment application by the Open billing period's due date. The subject line reads "Project Name: User Name has invited you to bill." Payment application contacts can then accept or decline the invite. 

 Tip
Missing your 'Invite to Bill'? Payment application contacts can create new payment applications in Procore. See Create a Subcontractor Payment application.

  4. Review the Payment application Details:
    • Commitment. Shows the commitment number and name. 
    • Payment application Type. Shows the payment application type. See Configure Settings: Payment applications
    • Billing Period. The date range for the Open billing period. 
    • Invited By. The first and last name of the sender. Typically, this is the payment application administrator. 
    • Due Date. The date your payment application is due. Payment application contacts cannot create or submit a payment application in the Procore project after this date.  
  5. Click one of these buttons to respond to the Do you want to bill this period? prompt:
    • Yes. Accept the invite and submit a payment application. This changes the payment application status to Accepted. Continue with the steps in Submit a New Payment application as a Payment Application Contact.
    • No. Decline the invite if you don't want to submit a payment application for the Open billing period. This changes the payment application status to Declined.
