Compile Payment Application Backups

Objective

To compile a backup of default payment application PDF and all of its PDF attachments for one or multiple payment applications.

Background

An payment application backup lets you generate a single PDF that contains a PDF copy of each individual payment application that you select. This feature saves valuable time so you don't have to manually export multiple payment applications or compile those downloads into a single PDF. Instead, Procore does this work for you.

Things to Consider

• Required User Permissions:
  • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Commitments tool.

     Notes

    • Access permissions to the Payment applications & Progress Billings tools are governed by the permissions set on the Commitments and/or Client Contracts, Funding or Main Contracts tool. Procore tool names vary, depending on the language or point-of-view dictionary configured in Procore. See What dictionaries and languages are available in the Procore web application?
    • If you are a collaborator (for example, an payment application contact employed by a company performing work on a project managed in Procore, your ability to perform invoice-related tasks is determined by the Procore company account holder. Settings that the account holder may choose to provide to you include:
      • A Procore User account.
      • Access permissions to the project's Commitments and/or Client Contracts, Funding or Main Contracts tool.
      • Membership on the 'Private' list of a specific contract or funding
      • Designated as an 'Invoice Contact' on the contract or funding.
• Additional Information:
  • To successfully Compile Payment application Backups, the billing period(s) that correspond to the selected payment application(s) must exist. To learn more, see Create Automatic Billing Periods and Create Manual Billing Periods.
  • If you are using the Procore + DocuSign^© integration and the signature workflow is complete, all versions of the PDFs will include the DocuSign^© version.
