Description
The Planned Project P&L (By Budget)report provides a structured overview of the expected project revenues and costs, categorized by project tasks and income and expense items. It enables budgeting and forecasting analysis by comparing planned revenues and associated costs at a granular level.
This report provides a detailed breakdown of the planned profit and loss for a project, available in two versions: By Budget and By Estimate. The By Budget version is based on budgeted figures from the project budget document generated in the Project Costing module, while the By Estimate version uses planned figures . It displays both from Project Estimates. Both outline revenue and cost components across various project tasks, allowing supporting effective monitoring of expected financial outcomes.
The report is structured hierarchically, starting from the project name, followed by major budget sections (e.g., Preliminaries, Crete Works), and further divided into specific work items or WBS elements. Each task displays budgeted revenue and associated cost components such as equipment, labor, overheads, subcontracting, and transportation.
Revenue entries show quantities, unit prices, and total amounts, while cost entries are listed as negative values, reflecting planned expenditures. Totals are provided per section and summarized at the project level to reflect the net planned result.
Filters on the right panel allow the user to refine the output by entity, project, project task, company, or income/expense item. The “Generate” button refreshes the report according to selected parameters. The “Without templates” option ensures that only actual planned data is shown, excluding template-based assumptions.
This report is essential for project managers and finance teams to assess expected margins, plan resources efficiently, and support informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
