When working with an owner invoice in Procore, the Detail tab and the Configurable PDF tab of the invoice show its line items. The Configurable PDF tab lets you customize the way line items display on an owner invoice. With the features in this tab, you can group and summarize your invoice's data the way you want before presenting it to the owner you are billing.
In a Configurable PDF, a group is an object that organizes invoice line items together. In Procore, the default groups are available in a Configurable PDF are Sub Job (if enabled), Division, Cost Code, and Cost Type. You can also create custom groups that contain custom items to then apply those custom items to your PDF.
How to Organize a Configurable PDF Using a Default Group
Let's assume your team created different sub jobs on a Procore project to represent different project phases. In this example, you want to create a configurable PDF that groups the line items on the owner invoice into the appropriate project phase. Assuming you have created sub-jobs names 'Phase 1', 'Phase 2', and 'Phase 3', you can choose 'Sub Job', from the 'Add Group' drop-down list. You can then place all of the line items that have been classified as 'Phase 1', 'Phase 2', and 'Phase 3' into separate groups.
How to Organize a PDF Using a Custom Group
Let's assume your team uses its own system of customized billing codes. You can create a new group for the configurable PDF named 'Billing Group 1" to house your codes. Then you can create new items in the group to represent your bill codes. For example, 'Bill Code A', 'Bill Code B', 'Bill Code C', and so on. Once your group and codes are created, you can then apply the group to the configurable PDF and then assign your custom bill codes to the individual line items on the invoice.
