COST TRACKER




Understanding the Cost Tracker's features helps you monitor and manage project expenses efficiently. This guide provides insights into its primary functions, primarily on planned costs, actual costs, and variance analysis.



PLANNED COST VS ACTUAL COST


Planned cost - Represents the expected cost based on all the items added from Cost Item Setup.

Actual Cost - Reflects all of your entries in Add Expenses.
