Main Column Explanation
-
RAB: Displays the initial budget for each cost item as planned in the Project Budget (RAB) module.
-
IRM (Item Receipt Material): Displays the actual cost of the goods or services that have been received, which represents the cost realization.
How to Analyze: By comparing the total of the RAB column with the total of the IRM column, you can quickly see if the project is over budget (realization > budget) or under budget (realization < budget).
Tips & Important Notes
-
This report is a very important final evaluation tool for Project Managers and Finance Management to measure the success of a project's cost management.
-
Use this report as the basis for a project closing report.
