#### **Module Guide: Project Budget (RAB)**

#### **Module Location**

#### Project > Project Budget (RAB)

#### **Module Objective**

#### The **Project Budget (Rencana Anggaran Biaya - RAB)** module is the primary tool for creating, detailing, and managing the budget for a project. This module allows a project manager to define all estimated costs that will be incurred, both those originating from specific purchases of goods/services and from direct costs that will be charged to a specific account.

### **1. Main View (Budget List)**

#### The main page of this module displays a list of all RAB documents that have been created for various projects.

#### **View Explanation**

- #### **View**: This page is a history of all RABs that have been submitted. You can see the **RAB Document No.,** the related **Project Name,** the **Base Amount** (total budget value), and its status.
- #### **Action Buttons**:
    
    
    - #### **\[New\]**: The primary button to create a new RAB document.

### **2. Steps to Create a Project Budget**

#### **Step 1: Create a New Budget Document**

#### From the Main View, click the **\[New\]** button to open the **Add RAB** form.

#### **Step 2: Fill in Header Information**

- #### Select the **Sub Project** from the dropdown for which you are creating the budget.
- #### Fill in the RAB document **Date**.
- #### You can use the **Data Upload** feature to import budget details from an external file (e.g., Excel).

#### **Step 3: Detail the Cost Budget**

#### You can detail the cost budget in two ways in the tables at the bottom:

1. #### **Purchase Costs**: In the top table, click **\[+\]** to add all **Goods/Services** that need to be purchased for the project, along with their estimated **Quantity** and **Price**.
2. #### **Direct Costs**: In the bottom table, click **\[+\]** to add all anticipated direct cost **Accounts** (e.g., labor costs, travel costs) along with their estimated **Total Price**.

#### **Step 4: Submit the Budget**

#### After all budget details have been entered, click the **\[Confirm\]** button to save and submit the RAB for the approval process.

#### **Workflow & Integrated Business Process**

- #### An approved Project Budget will become the **baseline** for controlling all expenditures related to the project.
- #### When other departments create a **Purchase Requisition** for this project, the system will be able to compare that request with the remaining available budget in the RAB.

### **Tips & Important Notes**

- #### The **Data Upload** feature greatly speeds up the budget creation process, especially for large projects with hundreds of cost items.
- #### This module is the central tool for a **Project Manager** to plan and control the financial aspects of a project from start to finish.
