Finance planning for your projects

Base values for income and expense planning

Base values reflect the original plan data of your project for:

  • Revenue
  • Expenses
  • Project times
  • Billable times

Compare initial planned expenses with placed purchase orders and actual incoming invoices:

  • How much of the plan budget is already spent?
  • Are placed orders within plan?
  • How much of the plan budget is still open?

The same applies to revenue — plan amounts vs. orders won vs. invoices issued.

Keep effort revenue in view

Every billable time entry knows its assigned order position and the revenue it will generate. Two practical insights:

  • Spot time entries not assigned to an order position — money waiting to be billed
  • Monitor monetary effort budgets granted via an order, before invoicing

Example: an order for €10,000 of consulting, billed by effort across a senior and junior rate. The effort-revenue view shows what share of the budget is already consumed by booked time.

Sync project plan data from the order

Plan data can be updated on the order and synced into the project automatically. Original values stay as base values for controlling. Hours, revenue and expenses sync the same way. Change a position from 10 to 12 hours — the linked work package’s plan budget updates to 12 hours.
