Insights: Remaining Budgets per Project and Billing Method

Gain insight into spending versus budgets and agreed prices. This report shows whether the price has been covered (or not).

Written by Simplicate Support

This report provides insight into the spending of hours and costs on budgeted services and how that relates to the budgets and the agreed prices. This lets you quickly see where the budget is being exceeded and whether invoicing covers spending — broken down by invoice method.

The Costs spent column shows the selling price of costs, because this report compares spending with invoiced revenue (which is also shown in selling price).

In the projects module, costs are sometimes shown at purchase price; those values cannot be compared one-to-one with this report.


Report structure

At the top is the filter bar; below that the Remaining budget per project manager chart and the Detail view (the table). Use the Invoice method filter to focus the report on fixed price, time and expenses, or subscription services.


Remaining budget per project manager

Places the remaining budget for each project manager side by side. This lets you see where there is still room and where the budget has already been exceeded.


Detail view

The table shows the budgets, spending, and invoiced revenue per project and service. Sort by Remaining budget or Invoiced vs. total spent to quickly surface overruns and lagging invoicing. Use Columns to choose which columns are visible and Export to download the data.
