Set Default Billing Period for a Project

Modified: 18 Sep 2026 Trimble Pay Help

A project's billing period is the date range that subcontractors are permitted to submit Applications for Payment. It can be useful if the project has a default billing period applied automatically.

You must be a Project Admin or Curator to take these steps.
Note: If you want to set a billing period at the company level for Trimble Pay to apply by default to all projects, see Set a Default Billing Period for All Projects.
Important: These rules apply to each billing period:
  • The start date must be in the same month as the corresponding pay period.
  • The end date can be in the same or next month as the corresponding pay period.
  • In all cases, the maximum duration is 31 days.
Pay periods are also known as Accounting Periods. See Billing Periods.

Even if you set a project's default billing period, you can still adjust a project's billing period month to month.

To set the default billing period for this project:

  1. On the Active projects tab, select the project.
  2. Among the tabs at the top of the screen, select Billing periods.
    Any billing periods already set up for the project are listed on the right-hand side of the screen.
  3. In the Settings section on the left-hand side of the page, set the date range for the default Billing start date and Billing end date.
    All future periods for this project will use this date range.
Trimble Pay creates new billing periods automatically for this project based on these default selections.
