Gross Profits/Total Costs in Projects

[RaeC]

For my business model, a project is a month. I am currently only using projects to track income earned (linked to invoices). Before I expand that to also track expenses and time worked, I need to understand where FMSP is seeing costs being incurred.

 

For most months, I'm seeing some data I don't understand in the summary tab for projects where you get gross profits. For some reason, there are costs listed, which take away from the gross profits. I cannot figure out where that cost data comes from.

 

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,

 

Rae

Project total Costs = Invoices_Total_Cost + Timesheet_Pay  + Expenses_Total

 

These 3 numbers are NOT calcs...because they would be unstored calcs, and would potential result in poor performance.   SO... they are evaluated as needed by a Script.

 

TURN ON Script Debugger your copy of Pro Advanced... and watch the script to see how those values are calculated.
