Cost Summary Report

Overview

Budget Reports are a collection of cost summary reports and quality check reports built from your project’s cost estimate data. Use them to review rolled-up costs at the WBS or CAM level, verify data completeness before a review, and confirm that supporting data (basis codes, notebook entries, activity IDs, Form 1030 mappings) is fully populated. Navigate to a report using the Report inline filter dropdown at the top of the page. Selecting a report updates the page title, filters, and data table in place. All reports require a project to be selected before loading.

Common Features

Display Units

All cost reports support a Display Units filter that scales every dollar value in the report:
OptionEffect
$Full dollars (default)
$KValues divided by 1,000
$MValues divided by 1,000,000

Section Views

Section Views are saved column configurations. A Section View stores which columns are visible, their order, and any applied grouping or sorting; so you can switch between preset layouts without reconfiguring the grid manually.
  • System views are available to all users and are managed by administrators.
  • User views are saved per-user from the current grid state.
The active Section View is shown in the Section Views filter. Selecting a different view reloads the grid with that view’s column configuration.

Grid Features

Every report grid in Budget Reports includes:
  • Search panel: free-text search across all visible columns
  • Filter row: per-column filter inputs with an Apply Filters button
  • Header filters: click any column header to filter by specific values
  • Filter panel: shows active filter criteria and allows clearing them
  • Column chooser: add or remove columns using the column chooser button in the toolbar
  • Column reordering: drag column headers to reorder
  • Column fixing: right-click a column header to pin it to the left
  • Group panel: drag columns to the group panel to group rows by that field
  • Export to Excel: export button in the toolbar downloads the full report as an Excel file including all active filters

Cost Summary Report

Summarizes total estimated costs organized by WBS hierarchy. Each WBS level is shown with its rolled-up cost across all work packages below it. This is the primary report for reviewing the overall estimate structure and validating cost totals at each level.

Filters

FilterDescription
ProjectRequired. Loads the WBS structure and cost data for the selected project.
WBSLimit the report to a specific WBS branch. Only that element and its children are shown.
WBS LevelCollapse the hierarchy to the selected depth. Selecting Level 2 shows WBS elements through Level 2 and rolls up all cost below into those rows.
Cost ClassMulti-select. Choose one or more cost classes (Budget, Actual, Forecast, or a configured cost set) to display. Multiple cost classes appear as separate rows.
Display UnitsShow costs as $, $K, or $M.
CalendarAppears only when the project uses custom fiscal calendars. Selects which calendar’s periods are shown in the time-phased columns.
Section ViewsApply a saved column configuration.

Columns

Always visible:

Cost Summary Resources Report

The same WBS cost hierarchy as the Cost Summary Report, but broken out by resource code and resource type within each work package. Use this when you need to see not just how much is estimated by WBS element, but which resources drive the cost at each level. Cost Summary Resources Report

Filters

Same filters as the Cost Summary Report: Project, WBS, WBS Level, Cost Class (multi-select), Display Units, Calendar, Section Views.

Columns

The same column structure as the Cost Summary Report, with the addition of:
ColumnDescription
Resource CodeThe resource code for this row
Resource TypeLabor, Non-Labor, or Travel

CAM Summary Report

Summarizes estimated costs organized by Control Account Manager (CAM) rather than by WBS. Use this when you need to review each CAM’s total scope and cost responsibility in one view. The report includes the same charts and tables as the WBS Summary Report (cost by estimate type (Parametric, Analogy, Engineering, etc.), cost by resource type (Labor, Non-Labor, Travel), cost by cost type, and FTE analysis) but grouped by CAM rather than WBS element.

WBS Summary Report

A comprehensive visual summary of the project estimate broken down by WBS element. Includes multiple charts and supporting data tables:
  • Cost by Estimate Type: breaks down the estimate by methodology (Parametric, Analogy, Engineering, Grassroots, etc.)
  • Cost by Resource Type: Labor, Non-Labor, Travel split
  • Cost by Cost Type: breaks cost into configured cost types
  • FTE Analysis: full-time equivalent labor across WBS elements
  • Stacked cost subtotals: rolled-up totals at each WBS level

Activity IDs Quality Check Report

Lists every resource assignment in the project along with any activity IDs assigned to it, and validates whether those activity IDs exist in the project’s current task list. Use this report before a schedule-cost integration review to confirm that all RA-to-activity links are valid and no stale or missing IDs remain. Activity IDs Quality Check Report

ValidYes if the activity ID exists in the project’s task list; No if the ID is assigned but does not match any current task
Rows where Valid = No indicate broken schedule links that need to be corrected on the Budget Form or via a schedule re-import.

Basis Code Quality Check Report

Lists all budget resource assignments and shows whether each one has a basis code assigned. Use this report to find gaps before a basis-of-estimate review. Basis Code Quality Check Report

Contingency Assignment Report

Shows all contingency assignments in the project. Use this to audit contingency coverage and identify work packages or resource assignments where contingency has not been assigned. Contingency Assignment Report
The level at which contingency appears (resource assignment or work package) depends on how the project’s Contingency Mode is configured in the Registry. Some projects track contingency at the RA level; others at the work package level. See Contingency Methodology for details.

Form 1030 Quality Check Report

Validates that every resource code in the project is mapped to a Form 1030 resource result category. For each resource code, the report shows whether a mapping exists and what category it maps to. Use this report before generating a Form 1030 report to confirm that all codes are properly configured. Form 1030 Quality Check Report
This report requires the project’s resource file to have a Form 1030 file assigned. If no Form 1030 file is configured, the report will not return results.

A time-phased cost grid showing estimated costs by WBS and work package. Select a project, optionally filter to a WBS branch or work package, then choose Yearly or Monthly to view costs broken out by fiscal year or calendar month. Use the Project Explorer to drill into the estimate at any level of the hierarchy and compare time-phased spend across the project. Project Explorer
