Office Earnings Columns Tab

Use the Columns tab to select or clear columns, change column sequence, provide new column labels, set column widths, or select number and date formats.

If your company has enabled revenue generation and is tracking unbilled revenue for multiple revenue categories, you can select additional report columns related to those revenue categories. If you track all five revenue categories, five sets of these columns are available for the report.

Contents

Field Description
Revenue Amount This column displays the amount of revenue.
Billed Amount This column displays the total amount billed.

The amount in this column does not includes taxes, but the AR Amount and Received Amount columns do.

Unbilled Amount This column displays the amount of revenue that has not yet billed. Vision calculates Unbilled Amount as follows:

Revenue Amount – Billed Amount

Received Amount This column displays the amount received in payments. This includes taxes paid.
AR Amount This column displays the amount that is billed but not yet received in payment. This includes taxes billed.
Spent Amount This column displays the total spent (Labor + Overhead + Direct expenses + Reimbursable expenses).

If you generate the report at billing rates, Spent Amount equals the following at billing value:

Labor + Direct expenses + Reimbursable expenses

To include overhead in Spent Amount, select the Overhead check box in the Print group box on the General tab.

Profit/Variance This column displays the profit or variance amount. Vision calculates Profit or Variance as follows:

Revenue Amount – Spent Amount

When you generate the report at cost rates, the result is called Profit. When you generate the report at billing rates, the result is called Variance.

Profit/Variance Percent This column displays the profit or variance as a percentage. Vision calculates Profit Percent or Variance Percent as follows:
  • If you generate the report at cost rates: Profit / Revenue Amount
  • If you generate the report at billing rates: Variance / Revenue Amount

By comparing the profit percentage for the current period to the year-to-date and job-to-date profit percentages, you can see the effect of the recent performance on the overall profitability.

You can only generate this report at billing rates if the Reporting at billing rates option is selected in Configuration.

Labor Billed This column displays the amount billed for labor.
Consultant Billed This column displays the amount billed for reimbursable consultant expense.
Expense Billed This column displays the amount billed for all expenses.
Fee Billed This column displays the amount billed for fees.

Taxes Billed This column displays the amount billed for taxes.
Interest Billed This column displays the amount billed for interest.
Other Billed This column displays the amount billed for charges that are not assigned to a specific category.

Vision decides what to include in this column based on how you set up your revenue accounts in these locations:

  • If you use Interactive Billing: Accounts tab of the Billing Setup form (Configuration > Billing > General)
  • If you do not use Interactive Billing: Invoice Mapping Accounts tab of the Accounts Receivable Configuration form (Configuration > Accounting > Accounts Receivable)
Unbilled Gain/Loss This column displays the gain/loss entries to unbilled services due to rate fluctuations.
Adjusted Unbilled This column displays the Adjusted Unbilled amount that includes the Unbilled Gain/Loss entries. The calculation for this column is Revenue – Billed + Unbilled Gain/Loss = Adjusted Unbilled. When this column is displayed in functional currency, it will match the Unbilled Services account in the general ledger, and will also match the Unbilled Services line in the File Reconciliation Report.
Hours This column displays the total hours worked (regular, standard overtime, and secondary overtime).

Your selection in Budget Source on the Budget tab determines whether budget hours and amounts come from the project budget worksheet, the associated plan's budget, or the associated plan's baseline.

ETC Hours This column displays the estimate to complete (ETC) hours. The estimate to complete hours are the estimated additional labor hours required to complete the work.
EAC Hours This column displays the estimate at completion (EAC) hours. The estimate at completion hours are the estimated total number of hours that will have been worked at the completion of the project: Actual hours + Estimate to complete hours.
Balance Hours This column displays the labor hours remaining to complete the work. Vision calculates Balance Hours as follows:

Budgeted Hours – Job-to-date hours

Overhead Amount This column displays the overhead amount.

To display overhead in this column and include it in the Spent Amount column, you must select the Overhead option in the Print group box on the General tab.
