INSIDE THIS CAPABILITY
The details that make it useful.
Material context
Review material budget and actual costs alongside labor. The material forecast uses the larger of material budget or actual for each record.
Portfolio perspective
Compare projects and customers, filter by creation period, inspect work-package detail and export authorized financial rows.
HOW THE WORK MOVES
From context to action.
Set the basis
Maintain budget hours, cost rates, materials and sales.
Review actuals
Use approved effort and recorded material costs.
Assess the forecast
Include remaining work before judging the outcome.
UNDERSTAND THE CALCULATION
A forecast includes the work ahead.
| Measure | Calculation |
|---|---|
| Labor budget | Budget hours × task cost rate |
| Labor actual | Approved actual hours × task cost rate |
| Labor estimate | (Approved actual + remaining hours) × task cost rate |
| Material estimate | Larger of budget or actual cost per material record |
| Margin | (Sales − cost) / sales × 100; unavailable when sales is zero |
