How are 'Commitment Contracts' utilized in Procore?

Commitment Contracts in Procore are specifically designed to represent agreements made with vendors and subcontractors. These contracts facilitate the financial management aspect of construction projects by detailing the obligations and terms set forth between the contractor and those providing goods or services.

This functionality allows project managers to keep track of commitments and related financial transactions, ensuring that the project's budget aligns with the contracted amounts. By accurately managing these agreements, teams can effectively monitor expenditures, forecast project costs, and maintain compliance with contractual obligations.

In contrast, updating project schedules is not a function of Commitment Contracts; this task falls under scheduling tools in Procore. Tracking daily project expenses is managed through different financial tools, separate from the commitment aspects. Furthermore, Commitment Contracts are not limited to managing employee contracts, as their primary focus is external relationships with vendors and subcontractors.
