Methods for Reporting Project Information

The following applies to the Project Cost, Project Billing, Project Revenue, and Year-Over-Year dashboards.

All transactions are displayed in the currency for the projects business unit. If selecting multiple business units in the filter, be sure to select business units with the same currency.

The Business Unit filter defaults the Business Unit from the user's Project Preferences. The accounting date range defaults the last month's using the current date.

Transactions are sourced from the project costing PROJ_RESOURCE table. Transactions are reported by month using the Accounting Date on the transaction. Accounting Dates are categorized by month and year using the monthly reporting calendar on the Project Installation Options page. See Reporting Roll Up Calendars section in Installation Options - Project Costing Page.

Analysis types and analysis groups are used for categorizing a transaction as budgeted cost, actual cost, billing, revenue and profit. The analysis groups are driven primarily from the installation options page and referenced in the underlying query supporting the index. Organizations should expect to change the logic in the underlying query to align with their use of project costing.

Use the Project Billing Analytics dashboard to analyze billings to customers and sponsors to budgeted cost and actual cost. This includes analytics by project, manager, vendor/supplier, and employee.
