PSA Project Burnup Dashboard

The PSA Project Burnup dashboard enables you to:

  • View project scope and how much work has been delivered and billed
  • Compare your project's billings to the budget over the duration of the project
  • Compare your project's hours to the planned hours over the duration of the project
  • Get a breakdown of your project's billed hours, milestones, expenses, and miscellaneous adjustments by month

The dashboard is created as part of the PS Cloud Core Analytics app and displays data from the Billings dataset. For more details of the fields used by the PSA Project Burnup dashboard, see Billings Dataset PS Cloud Analytics Output Fields.

PSA Project Burnup Dashboard Guide

The charts in the PSA Project Burnup dashboard group the estimates vs actuals (EVAs) data from the billings dataset using their related time period type. By default the dashboard gives preference to the month time period type. If this is not available, it uses the following priority:

  1. Month (Default)
  2. Week
  3. Quarter
  4. Year
  5. Other

The dashboard contains the following elements.

1. Budget

Total amount of the project’s budget records, including the following budget types and their respective change requests:

  • Customer Purchase Order
  • Vendor Purchase Order
  • Work Order

The change requests for each type contributes to the total cumulative budget. For example, the budget for a project with a budget type of customer purchase order is 50,000 USD. If you add a customer purchase order change request for 10,000 USD, the total cumulative budget of 60,000 USD is displayed on the dashboard.

Billings Value grouped by subtype, filtered by record type = Budget Budget billings value is taken from the Amount field on the budget record.

Billings

For more information, see Billings Dataset PS Cloud Analytics Output Fields.

2. Projected Total projected billings amount for the project. Actual + Scheduled None  
3. Actual

Actual billings to date on the project, broken down by type, as follows:

  • Expenses
  • Milestones
  • Misc adjustments
  • Timecards
Billings value grouped by record type and filtered by subtype = Actual

Billings value is taken from the following fields for each record type:

  • For Expenses and Misc. Adjustments, the value in the Amount field is used.
  • For Milestone, the value in the Milestone Amount field is used
  • For Timecards, the value in the timecard split's Total Billable Amount field is used.
 
4. Scheduled

Remaining scheduled billings for future periods only, broken down by type, as follows:

  • Expenses
  • Milestones
  • Misc adjustments
  • Timecards

Billings value filtered by subtype = Scheduled

Note: See Help topic ‘Billings Flow Intermediate Processing’ for notes on currency handling for Billings Value (ValueBillings)

Scheduled billings value is taken from the Est. Vs Actuals object and is calculated as follows:

  • If the scheduled bill rate is a daily rate: Scheduled Bill Rate x Estimated Days
  • If the scheduled bill rate is not a daily rate: Scheduled Bill Rate x Estimated Hours
5. Project Trend Line Chart Cumulative view of actuals and future scheduled values compared against the total budget for the duration of the project. None None
6. Project Currency/Corporate Currency View project burnup data in project currency or corporate currency. None None
7. Budget line Total budget for the project, including change orders. Billings Value grouped by subtype, filtered by record type = Budget Budget billings value is taken from the Amount field on the budget record.  
8. Actual line Cumulative actuals to date. Billings value grouped by end date, filtered by subtype = Actual

End Date is taken from the following fields for each record type:

  • For Expenses, the value in the Expense Date field is used
  • For Milestones:

    • If subtype = Actual, the Actual Date field is used
    • If subtype = Scheduled, the value in the Target Date field is used
  • For Misc. Adjustments, the values in the Effective Date field is used
  • For Timecards, the value in the timecard split's End Date field is used
9. Scheduled line Shows scheduled values for future periods only.

Billings value grouped by end date, filtered by subtype = Scheduled.

This is a cumulative value.

Scheduled billings value is taken from the Est. Vs Actuals object and is calculated as follows:

  • If the scheduled bill rate is a daily rate: Scheduled Bill Rate x Estimated Days
  • If the scheduled bill rate is not a daily rate: Scheduled Bill Rate x Estimated Hours
10. Billings Distribution bar chart

Periodic view of billings amount for actuals and scheduled values.

The actuals and scheduled values include subcategories and they are the same as that of KPIs. For more information on KPIs, see Project Burnup Plus Dashboard KPI Subcategories in.

Billings value grouped by end date (by month) and subtype, filtered by type ≠ Budget

Billings value is taken from the following fields for each record type:

  • For Expenses and Misc. Adjustments, the value in the Amount field is used
  • For Milestone, the value in the Milestone Amount field is used
  • For Timecards, the value in the timecard split's Total Billable Amount field is used

End Date is taken from the following fields for each record type:

  • For Estimates Vs. Actuals, the values in the End Date field is used
  • For Expenses, the value in the Expense Date field is used
  • For Estimates Vs. Actuals:

    • If the subtype = Actual, the Actual Date field is used
    • If the subtype = Scheduled, the value in the Target Date field is used
  • For Misc. Adjustments, the values in the Effective Date field is used
  • For Timecards, the value in the timecard split's End Date field is used
Note: The Billings Distribution chart Actual and Scheduled legends consist of additional types. The Actual bar includes Expenses, Milestones, Misc Adjustments, and Timecards. The Scheduled bar includes Est Vs Actuals and Milestones. These additional types are not displayed in the Legends as well as the charts. However, you can hover over the bars in the chart to view tooltips with the breakup of the additional types.
