Procore expense management for card spend and cost codes

Text a receipt after the swipe. Clyr codes that card spend to the project and cost code, and the job-coded cost posts back to Procore. Keep the Amex, Visa, and Mastercard cards you already have.

Procore's own tool

Does Procore have built-in expense management?

Procore's built-in path is the Direct Costs tool. You create the record in Procore. Clyr starts from the company card.

What Procore's help doc says

A direct cost is a project cost that is not tied to a purchase order or subcontract. Create a Direct Cost is the project tutorial.

  • Types are Expense, Invoice, and Payroll
  • You create the record in the project tool, or import a CSV
  • An attachment can be a receipt
  • A line item uses a budget code. Procore matches the division, cost code, and cost type
  • That tutorial does not describe a company-card feed

Clyr on your cards

The company card is the starting point.

  • Amex, Visa, or Mastercard you already have
  • Text a photo of the receipt after the swipe
  • Code the project and cost code
  • The job-coded cost posts back to Procore

Procore receipt capture from an emailed file

Company Direct Costs settings can turn an emailed PDF, JPG, or PNG into a Direct Cost to review. That starts from a file you send. Clyr starts from the card transaction.

From the yard

How it works, from swipe to Procore

1

Connect the cards you already have

Clyr uses the company Amex, Visa, or Mastercard. No new card program.

2

The swipe sends a text

When the card transaction arrives in Clyr, the cardholder gets the merchant and amount and can reply in the same thread.

3

The photo matches the charge

Email, the Chrome extension, and no-login links cover everyone else.

4

Coding stays with a person when it is unsure

Rules and prior coding suggest the project and cost code.

5

The job-coded cost posts back

The coded cost posts back to Procore. Approvals run in Clyr.

On the project

A lumber run, coded before the truck leaves

Illustrative project: Pier 4 warehouse is fictional. One card purchase, kept with the project before the cost posts back.

1

A superintendent buys framing lumber on the company Visa. The text collects the receipt.

2

The project was already in Clyr. Projects, teams, and cost structures sync from Procore.

3

The charge is coded to the project and cost code.

4

The job-coded cost posts back to Procore.

Beyond the project record

Procore credit card integration and QuickBooks

QuickBooks

Clyr also syncs two ways with QuickBooks. That accounting sync is separate from the Procore cost.

See the QuickBooks integration.

Onboarding

What to bring to the Procore setup

Your admin brings the Procore projects the card workflow should code to, and a recent month of card charges. Clyr confirms the connection, then invites cardholders into the text receipt workflow.

Bring these to the setup conversation

  • A sample month of card charges
  • The projects those charges should code to
  • Who approves expenses
  • Questions about the Procore record, the cost code field, and the receipt file
