Using the Case Budget Tab

The Budget tab brings together authorized limits, recorded consumption, billing context, and the history of budget changes.

Open the Budget tab

  1. Open the case and confirm its case number.
  2. Select Budget.
  3. Review the three sections before deciding whether more work is authorized.

Budget Summary

For each configured dimension, review Authorized, Consumed, Remaining, and the percentage used. Use Set Budget if none exists, or Adjust Budget to add authorization when permitted.

Consumption Snapshot

Review amounts expensed and hours logged alongside Total Invoiced, Paid, Outstanding, and Uninvoiced Expenses. These figures provide context; invoice balances and budget remaining are different measures.

Adjustment History

Review dated changes, the previous and new values, the amount changed, the reason, and the user recorded for the adjustment.

Budget Status on Info

The Info tab provides a compact status view. Its History action opens the Budget tab's history, and Adjust opens the budget settings form for authorized users.

Missing or empty sections

Check permissions and case-type settings. No budget set, budgets disabled, and data temporarily unavailable mean different things; a loading error is not evidence of zero usage.
