Email an Owner Payment Application

Objective

To send an upstream payment application to your Procore project's upstream collaborator by email. 

Background

After creating an upstream payment application that bills against a client contract, funding or main contract, you can send a copy of the payment application's 'Detail' tab to your upstream collaborator to review. Once reviewed, your collaborator can then reply directly to that message to indicate that they have approved your payment application for payment (or to supply you with a reason for rejecting your payment application). To ensure that your collaborator's response is captured in writing, Procore saves all replies to your outgoing message's 'From' address in the Emails tab on the payment application. 

Things to Consider

• Required User Permissions:
  • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Client Contracts, Funding or Main Contracts 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:
  • Clicking the Email Payment application button sends a copy of the payment application's 'Detail' tab to the designated recipients.
  • The data on the 'Configurable PDF' tab of the payment application is NOT provided with this email message.
