13-2 Project Review
At times, project information is easier to understand when presented in the form of a chart. Sage 100 Contractor can generate charts for you from several sources. You can then use the charts to review and analyze trends in your company. You can create several different types of graphs, such as line, area, 2-dimensional bar charts, and 3-dimensional bar charts. After generating a chart, you can print it, save it to file, or copy it to the clipboard so that you can paste the chart in another report or document.
Using the Graph option in 13-2 Project Review, you can generate graphs to analyze the following:
- Cost/Budget by Type
Budget = Job budget + approved budget change orders by cost type.
Cost = Job costs by cost type. (Note that you use the job cost journal by cost type).
- Cost/Budget by Code displays job budget + approved budget change orders by cost code.
Budget = Job budget plus approved budget change orders by cost code.
Cost = Job costs by cost code (Note that you use the job cost journal by cost code).
- Over/Under by Code
Over = Over budget amount by code with positive number above zero.
Under = Under budget amount by code with negative number below zero.
- Gross Profit % by Job displays (A/R invoices – job costs) / A/R invoices.
- Gross Profit $ by Job displays A/R invoices – job costs.
- Cash Flow displays A/R invoices – job costs by week. (Note that one week = 7 days).
