Creating a Project Budget

A budget is a way to track and estimate spending for your projects. Spend by all accounts associated with the project will be tracked against the project's budget.

You can create multiple fixed amount or cumulative budgets per project based on yearly, quarterly, and monthly time frames.

Budgets set for the same project cannot have overlapping time frames.

To create a budget:

1. Navigate to Projects > All Projects.
2. Select the project you would like to create a budget for.
3. Click the Financials tab.
4. Click Budgets.
5. Click Create.
6. Select a type of budget time frame. All time frame types are customizable down to individual months.
7. Select a budget type.
• Fixed Amount. Set a total amount for the budget, and distribute it between each month within your time frame. This budget type is recommended if you have a fixed, maximum amount you plan to spend during the time frame.
• Cumulative Budget. Set amounts for each month within your time frame that are added together to create a budget total. This budget type is recommended if you would like to plan your spend by month without a fixed maximum amount for the time frame.
