Frequently Asked Questions
If you are using simple budgets, can you easily see if they have changed?
The only way to see changes is by running reports with the Audit Trail as a report value.
Can you track hours as well as dollars on transactional budgets?
Out of the box, you can only track dollars, but you can add custom fields to the budget record to store hours associated with the budget dollars. You will need a script to auto sum the hours in the standard budget hours field on the properties.
When using advanced project budgets, where can you get costs from?
For labor, you can pull costs from task assignments or from bookings. For expense and purchase budgets, the costs will need to be manually added.
When would the advanced project budget feature be beneficial to enable?
This feature allows you to budget the cost expected to deliver a project versus actual costs.
