Budget Follow-Up
Using information taken from the
Project Transaction register, this report compares the value and cost of the work done on each Project with the amount budgeted in the
Project Budget register.
For each Project, the report shows the total invoiceable value, cost and margin, and the total budgeted value and gross profit. These figures can be per Project or for each Item.
The figure for total invoiceable value will depend on the invoicing options on the 'Invoicing' card of the relevant Project Budget record. If these options are set to Actual, the total invoiceable value will be calculated from Project Transactions. If these options are set to As Budgeted, the total invoiceable value will be taken from the appropriate Project Budget row. The cost figure will be calculated from Project Transactions, and the margin will be the difference between the invoiceable value and the cost.
