To create a new project in Procore and export it to an integrated ERP system.

Some ERP integrations allow you to create a new project in Procore and send it to your company's ERP Integrations tool to be reviewed and exported by an accounting approver. If approved and exported, Procore sends the project and some of its data to your ERP system.

After an accounting approver reviews and accepts the Procore project for export to your ERP system in the Company level ERP Integrations tool, the project is exported during the synchronization process.

Not all integrations support syncing a new project from Procore to your ERP system. Sime integrations require project creation to take place in your ERP system. To find out what data syncs between projects in Procore and your ERP system, see Things to Know about your ERP Integration.

• Required User Permissions:

  • 'Standard' or 'Admin' on the company's ERP Integrations tool.
    AND

  • The person's account must be granted the 'Can Push to Accounting' privilege in the Company Directory. See Grant Accounting Approver Privileges.

• Requirements:

  • You must select the 'ERP Standard Cost Codes' list for use on your new project.

  • All cost codes must have at least one (1) cost type assignment.

  • If your cost codes already have cost type assignments, your company has already configured the cost type assignments for your cost codes. For details, see Assign Default Cost Types to Cost Codes.

  • When entering your project data, be aware of the following requirements:* Project Name. Your ERP integration may impose a character limit on the Project Name field. If your project name exceeds this limit, your project name might be truncated in your ERP system, or your project may not export successfully. See Things to Know about your ERP Integration for details.* Active Project. Your new project must be marked as 'Active' in Procore.

1. Create a New Project

2. Add the 'ERP Cost Codes' list to your Procore project.

3. Assign default cost types to cost codes.

4. Send your new project to the ERP Integrations tool for accounting acceptance.

Create a New Project

Launch the Project Creation Assistant

1. Navigate to the company's Portfolio tool.

2. Click Create Project.

Add Project Details

1. Make sure Project Details is highlighted in the right sidebar.

   • Enter all of your project's information, like address, project name, and other general information. For detailed descriptions of all available fields, see Create a New Project.

2. ERP Project Creation Content Reuse

   Under ERP Integration, do the following (Note: this step is only relevant to companies that are integrated with certain ERP systems):

   1. Allow project to be synced with ERP. Leave this checkbox marked if you plan to sync any part of the project's financials with your ERP software. This will ensure that the ERP Standard cost code list will be available to select from when configuring your Project Level cost codes.

    Important

   • This checkbox will be marked by default if your company has an available set of ERP cost codes, unless the template the project is created from does not have this box marked.

   • If you plan to sync your new Procore project with your ERP software you MUST leave this checkbox marked. If you un-mark this box, you will not be able to re-mark it later if cost codes from a different Company Level list have been copied to the Project Level list in the Project Admin tool.

3. Click Create Project.

   • If you applied a project template and the template defines the desired project tools, you will move on to Add Project Cost Codes.

   • If you did not apply a project template or your template does not define the desired project tools, you will be prompted to choose the tools that you'll use on your new project before you can add cost codes.

Add ERP Standard Project Cost Codes

1. Make sure Cost Code in highlighted in the right sidebar.
   This reveals the cost code page for your new project.

    Important

   • You must select cost codes from the ERP Standard Cost Codes list to be able to sync your project with your ERP system.

   • If you select a non-ERP cost code list your project will NOT sync successfully.

2. Copy the desired codes to your project as follows:

   1. Copy All Codes
      To copy all of the codes from the ERP Standard Cost Code list:

      1. Click Copy All Codes.
         The system reveals the following confirmation message: "Once you add this cost code, the source list cannot be changed."

      2. Click OK to acknowledge the confirmation message.
         This moves all the codes in the ERP Standard Cost Code List to the Project Cost Codes list.

   2. Copy Selected Codes
      To copy only selected codes from the ERP Standard Cost Code list:

      1. Expand the desired division folder(s).

      2. Highlight the desired cost codes.

      3. Click Copy Selected Codes.

          Tip

         • Need to add, edit, or delete your cost codes in Procore at a later time? In Procore, cost codes and cost types are segment items on the default 'Cost Code' segment in Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). To learn how to manage your company level cost codes in Procore's WBS, see Add Company Cost Codes. For companies using Procore with a supported integrated ERP system, be sure to review Why can't I create WBS custom segments?

3. Click Next.
   The system reveals the Cost Type Assignments page.

Assign Default Cost Types to Cost Codes

1. Stay on the Cost Code page.
   The system reveals the Cost Types Assignments page.

2. For each cost code listed, mark one (1) or more checkboxes to assign each code to one (1) or more cost type.
   Important!

   • To sync cost codes with your ERP, every project cost code must be assigned at least one (1) cost type.

   • Some integrations do not support the cost types concept. See Things to Know about your ERP Integration for details.

   • For some integrations, Cost Types are created and maintained in your ERP.
     Your cost type assignments are automatically saved and Procore confirms that it has created your new project. This also reveals the New Project Created page.

3. Continue with Send a New Project to the ERP Integrations Tool.

      1. When you are ready to send your data to the ERP Integrations tool, see Send a Procore Project to ERP Integrations for Accounting Acceptance.

      2. An accounting approver will accept or reject the project for export to your ERP system. If your request for export is rejected, the creator of the project will receive a notification.
