The Expected result tab is built like a T-account where the left portion shows the expected costs and the right portion shows the expected income.
The expected result is automatically calculated by the system and works more or less as a forecast of the project's expected costs and income. When calculating, the system takes the project's result into consideration and adds the rest values of the order backlog (manufacturing, purchase and customer orders).
You can get the recorded time and its cost specified in the project summary. In the Codes procedure in the Workshop Info you can now have one Cost type for each indirect code. This way these reportings can be managed separately. In this procedure you also find the Addition tab, used to register other wage base factors in MONITOR, like e.g. travel time and daily allowances, which can be separately specified in the project accounting. It is possible to link also these costs to projects and in that case use a Cost type in order to include this in the project accounting.
As regards the expected result of other cost types (cost types apart from material, subcontracting and work) the calculation method is selected in the setting Expected result for other cost types is loaded from: under Project accounting under the Accounting tab in the Settings procedure.
Based on the expected result of costs and income, the system calculates the contribution margin/contribution ratio as well as the project result. This information is shown at the bottom of this tab.
