Objective

To send a payment application to Accounts Payable (AP) from the Contract Room in Portfolio Financials.

Background

The 'Send to Accounts Payable' feature in Portfolio Financials allows you to send payment applications that have been submitted and approved in Procore directly to your accounts payable address. Accounts Payable (AP) addresses are set up on a per-building basis, meaning all payment applications submitted on projects within a certain building will be sent to the same AP address. If you are interested in setting up this feature on your Portfolio Financials account, please reach out to your Procore point of contact to help get you started.
