How to open Cashflow Manager inside Procore, authorize it, and get your project ready to forecast.
Cashflow Manager is a Procore add-on — it runs inside Procore, using your current project's data. There's nothing to install.
First-time setup
- Open the add-on. In Procore, open your project and find Cashflow Manager in the project tools. It loads with your company and project already in context.
- Authorize access. The first time you use it, Procore asks you to authorize the add-on. Click Authorize — this lets it read your budget and contract data and write forecasts back.
- Confirm your project. Your company and project name appear in the header. Everything you do applies to this project.
- Check your budget view. Forecasts are built from a Procore budget view, so make sure your project has at least one configured.
Before you forecast
You'll get the most out of Cashflow Manager when your project has:
- A budget view with line items and amounts (the basis for cost forecasts).
- (For revenue) A prime contract with a Schedule of Values (the basis for revenue forecasts and retention).
- (Optional) A project schedule (MS Project file or Procore Schedule) if you want timing driven by the programme.
None of these are required to start a cost forecast — you can add line items manually — but importing from Procore is faster and keeps you tied to real numbers.
What happens next
Once you're in, the dashboard is your home base. From there you typically:
- Create a cost forecast from your budget view.
- Create a revenue forecast from your Schedule of Values.
- Analyse the combined cash flow.
If you're unsure what a forecast, line item, period, or curve actually is, read Key concepts first — it's a five-minute mental model that makes everything else click.
FAQ
Do I need to install anything?
No. Cashflow Manager runs inside Procore as an embedded add-on. You open it from your project's tools.
Why does it ask me to authorize?
The add-on reads your budget and contract data and writes forecasts back, so Procore asks you to grant it access the first time. You can revoke access in Procore at any time.
It says "No budget views available" — what now?
Your project needs at least one budget view configured in Procore. Create or configure one under the project's Budget tool, then refresh.
