Budgeted Amount - Job-to-date spent amount.

Balance Hours

This column displays the labor hours remaining to complete the work, calculated as follows:

Budgeted Hours - Job-to-date hours

Balance Hours at Budget Rate

This column displays the labor hours remaining to complete the work if they are expended at the budgeted rate. The balance hours are calculated as follows:

Balance Amount / Budgeted Rate

Balance Hours at Eff. Rate This column displays the labor hours remaining to complete the work if they are expended at the current effective rate. The balance hours are calculated as follows:

Balance Amount / Effective Rate

Billing Currency Code This column displays the three-character code for the billing currency.
Budgeted Amount This column displays the budgeted monetary amount. Your selection in Budget Source on the Options tab of the Project Earnings report determines whether budget hours and amounts come from the project budget worksheet, the associated plan's budget, or the associated plan's baseline.

Charge Type

This column displays one of the following charge types for the project:

  • R: Regular projects are revenue-producing. Costs charged to regular projects include direct labor, direct expense, and reimbursable expense. Vantagepoint retains the detail for a regular project for the life of the project.
  • H: Overhead projects are not revenue-producing. Costs charged to overhead projects include indirect labor and indirect expense. Vantagepoint distributes the total cost of these projects to regular projects during overhead allocation. Typical overhead projects can include General Overhead, Vacation, Sick Leave, Holiday, and Civic Duty. Vantagepoint resets job-to-date costs to zero for overhead projects when you initialize for a new fiscal year.
  • P: Promotional projects track the cost to acquire a job. If you obtain the contract, you can create a new regular project and transfer the detail to it to be billed or tracked. A promotional project is similar to an overhead project. However, Vantagepoint does not zero out job-to-date costs at the start of each fiscal year for promotional projects.
