    Report for budget vs actual

    I am trying to write a Crystal report comparing actual costs to the total budgeted revenues by job. I can find values for budgets and actual in the table PJPTDSUM, but this doesn't have or seem to have the accounting period in that.

    I was unsuccessful in combing amounts from PJTRAN and PJPTDSUM.  Does anyone have any ideas on ohow to do this?

    Another question, does anyone know where the budgets are kept besides PJPTDSUM?

     

    Coto Joe

     we did something like this but ended up using excel to access the data from the back end.  It was a ver arduous process and took well over a month to get to where we are now, and I don't think we are done yet!

    This is something that we view in a third party software in a dashboard format. It is a great tool and extremely usefull. If I was to write this myself, I would use SQL Reporting Services not Crystal as it is much simpler to deploy and create the data sources you will need. You are correct in using the PJTRAN and PJPTDSUM tables. You will find budget sin PJRev.

     If you are interested and in need of more help on this, feel free to contact me.

    I would be interested in learning more, beleive me. I don't know those SQL reporting services, but may need some help in that area.
