Anticipated Cost Report

Rabbet's default "Anticipated Cost Report" view has a number of columns available that will allow you to forecast your project's anticipated costs across the life of the job.

To access this default view within your project's budget, navigate to the Project > Budget > Anticipated Cost Report, as shown below:

Rabbet Budget tab anticipated cost report

Within this view you will see 6 default columns available for your use, which are detailed below:

  • Total Commitments = The sum of all agreements (contracts, executed change orders, addendums & work authorizations)and out of contract costs if applicable

  • Out of Contract = The sum of Invoice amounts not fully tracked to Agreements (For more information on tracking costs to your agreements, see this article)

  • PCOs & Exposures = The sum of all Exposures and Potential Change Orders

  • Cost Estimate = This sums all your Agreements including PCOs, Exposures (& Out of Contract costs if applicable).

  • Current Budget Variance = Current Budget - Cost Estimate


Original Budget Variance

There is also the default report for 'Original Budget Variance' that displays many of the same columns with the addition of the Original Budget Variance column. This column calculates where your original budget stands against your cost estimate.
