Improved Error Messaging For Standard Cost Code Sync Failures (9/9/2016)
Updated the ERP Integrations tool to improve the user experience when a standard cost code sync fails. Now, Procore displays an error message (instead a stuck progress spinner).
Improved Tooltip On Commitments Sent To ERP Integrations Tool (9/7/2016)
Updated the Commitments tool to change the tooltip that appears on a commitment that has been sent to the ERP Integrations tool for acceptance by an accounting approver.

Now Displaying A Banner Message To Notify Users When Project Limit Is Reached (9/1/2016)
When adding a new Procore project to both ERP-integrated and non-integrated companies, Procore now displays a notification message in the banner of the Create New Project page of the Portfolio tool and also on the ERP Integrations tool's Jobs subtab.

Vendor Updates In ERP System Now Update Synced Vendors In Procore (8/26/2016)

Updated Procore's handling of vendors marked "Inactive" in Sage. Inactive vendors now appear in the "Archived" filter on the Vendors subtab in the ERP Integrations tab after the initial import or when a user updates the vendor's name, address, or contact information (along with active/inactive status) and syncs the information using the hh2 service.
Added Validation For CCO Number Character Limits In Change Events Tool (8/15/2016)
Added validation in Change Events tool to prevent the creation of a Commitment Change Order (CCO) with a number that exceeds five (5) characters. This limit only affects ERP-integrated projects.

Updated the ERP Integrations tool to change the sort order on the Sub Jobs and Job Costs subtabs. Prior to this fix, sub jobs were sorted by the create date/time. They now sort by sub job number.

Updated an Admin tool error message for ERP-integrated companies. This updated affects the 'Standard Cost Codes' and 'Cost Code Category Assignment' pages.

Credentials are entered in the 'Configure ERP Integrations Settings' page of the ERP Integrations tool.
Updated Banner In Project Admin Tool For Sage-Integrated Companies (6/13/2016)
Updated the project's Admin tool to revise the informational banner so it more accurately reflects why users on Sage-integrated projects should re-send their project to the ERP Integrations tool to be updated.

ERP Now Pushes CCO Date Created From Procore To Sage (5/24/2016)

Procore users in Australia needed a way to assign a Goods and Services Tax (GST) Group on Commitments and Commitment Change Orders (CCOs) being sent from Procore to their third-party accounting system. This feature must be enabled on the backend by Procore. To request to enable the feature, contact your Ponto de contato da Procore.
Added Export Budget Feature To ERP Integrations For Sage 300 CRE (5/6/2016)
If you've integrated your company's Sage 300 CRE with Procore's ERP Integrations tool, you now have the ability to export a Procore budget to Sage. See Export a Budget from ERP to Sage.
Now Exporting 'Commitment Creation Date' to Sage (5/4/2016)
Updated the Procore ERP Integrations tool (for Sage 300 CRE) so it now exports the Procore 'Commitment Creation Date' to the hh2 service. This allows the hh2 service to pass the Procore date into what the Sage 300 CRE database calls the 'Commitment Date'.
Improved Visibility Of ERP Integrated Projects In Procore (3/14/2016)
Updated the Admin tool (see Admin (Project Level)) to add minor user interface improvements to better inform users when projects have been integrated with an ERP system. Added a green ERP symbol that appears next to the "Project Home" and the "Project Admin" headers when ERP is enabled. Also added a non-editable Sage ID field in the Project level Admin tool for projects where Sage 300 CRE (STO) is enabled.
Added Error Message For ERP Import Failures Due To Double Quotes (3/1/2016)
Updated the ERP Integrations tool to add an error message when a project import from an ERP system into Procore fails due to the presence of double quotes (") in the project name.

Updated the Project level Bidding tool to no longer show the Convert to Contract button on a Bid Sheet if the project is integrated with an ERP system that does not use Categories/Line Item Types.
Procore Archives ERP Vendor Records When A Linked Procore Vendor Is Deactivated (2/25/2016)
On vendor edit pages in Procore's Directory tool, there is now an orange action button for activating/deactivating the vendor rather than a checkbox on the vendor profile. Additionally, if a vendor is linked to an ERP vendor at the time that the Procore vendor is deactivated, Procore will now automatically dissociate the Procore vendor from the ERP vendor and will archive the ERP vendor in the ERP Vendors subtab.
Double Quotes In Project Name During ERP Imports Not Supported (2/24/2016)
Updated the ERP Integrations tool to display a proper error message when a project import from an ERP system fails due to the presence of double quotes (") in the project name. Procore does not support imports with double quotes in project names and the notification message now displays to remind users of this requirement.
Now Archiving ERP Vendor Record When Inactivating Vendor In Directory (2/16/2016)
On vendor edit pages in the Procore Directory, there is now an orange action button for activating/deactivating a vendor (e.g., rather than a checkbox on the vendor's profile). Additionally, if a vendor is linked to an ERP vendor at the time that the Procore vendor is deactivated, Procore will now automatically dissociate the Procore vendor from the ERP Integration tool's Vendor list and will archive the vendor in the Vendors subtab.
Expanded Search Capabilities For ERP Integrations (2/16/2016)
Expanded the scope of the Search capabilities in the ERP Integrations tool to include project budgets. Users can now search for the filters defined in the Budget subtab
Improved Editing Ability For CCO Line Item Descriptions In Commitments Tool (2/11/2016)
Previously, when a user selected an existing commitment line item from the line item picker while editing a Commitment Change Order's (CCOs) Schedule of Values (SOV) on an ERP Integrated project (i.e., Sage 300 CRE), Procore would auto-populate the commitment line item's description into the Description field as a read-only value. This has been changed. Procore now auto-populates the Description, as before, but it is now editable during line item creation. See Send a Change Order to ERP.
Add Parent Level Cost Codes to Budgets with ERP Integration (2/5/2016)
Users are now permitted to add parent-level cost codes (i.e., Divisions) to the Budget on ERP integrated projects if the ERP system integrated with Procore allows the application of costs to parent-level codes (e.g., Sage 300 CRE).
Modified Rules For Deleting Cost Codes With ERP Integration (2/5/2016)
Users are now permitted to delete "synced" cost codes from ERP projects if the ERP system that the company has integrated with has no explicit relationship between projects and cost codes (e.g., QuickBooks). Note: There is one caveat to this change--Users will not be permitted to delete cost codes if they are used anywhere in the Procore project.
Expanded Search Capabilities For ERP Integrations (2/4/2016)
Expanded the scope of the Search capabilities in the Company level ERP Integrations tool to include project budgets. Users can now search for the filters defined in the ERP Budget sub tab.
Changed Labels From 'Sub Jobs' to 'Extras' in ERP Integrations Tool (1/26/2016)
Changed labels from 'Extras' to 'Sub Jobs' on the ERP Sub Jobs subtab in the ERP Integrations tool.
Removed Commitment Line Item Character Limits For ERP-Integrated Projects (1/20/2016)
Commitment line item descriptions are now truncated during the export from Procore to the accounting system, so users can now edit commitment line item descriptions inline on ERP-integrated projects. Prior to this improvement, there was a 30 character maximum limit.
ERP-Integrated Projects Now Permit Inline CCO Line Item Edits (1/15/2016)
Updated Procore to allow inline editing of Commitment Change Order (CCO) line item descriptions on ERP integrated projects.
Note: If the CCO line item being edited is tied to a $0 commitment line item created as a result of the CCO line item's creation, the description on the Commitment line item will NOT change to match the inline-edited CCO line item description.
Updated Last Synced With Sage Timer For ERP-Integrated Projects (1/15/2016)
Updated the logic surrounding the "last synced with Sage [X] ago" timer for the Budget of ERP-integrated projects. This timer will now reset each time the job cost sync runs, as well as when the budget is manually re-imported from the ERP tab.
