Add the Columns for Job Cost Transaction Syncing to a Budget View for ERP Integrations

In Procore, a budget view defines the data column layout in the Budget tab of a project's Budget tool. By default, the Procore web application provides users with four (4) budget views that you can (1) use as-is or (2) customize to suit your company's specific needs. You can also create additional views, if needed. For instructions, see Set up a New Budget View.

Each budget view in Procore includes a unique set of columns designed to help your project users see the data that you want to see in Procore's Budget tool. If you plan to enable the job cost transaction syncing capability for ERP Integrations, you will need to determine which budget view(s) you want to add the recommended columns. Then, you will need complete the steps below on those budget views.
