For workspaces that utilize the Forecast and Variance Reports feature in Ruddr, the Plan report section is available and provides insight into hours, revenue, and utilization metrics that are derived from actuals and Resource Allocations in the workspace. Plan reports provide insight into the planned performance based on resource allocations, billing schedule milestones, revenue recognition ledger entries, expenses, and other items to bill. Plan reports do not include actuals. For more, please refer to the Help Center article on How Planned Services Revenue is Calculated in Ruddr. You can access the Plan reports section of Ruddr by clicking the Library item in the Reports section of the main nav bar (Figure 1) on the left of the screen. Once you have accessed the reports library, you will see the Plan category of reports listed (Figure 2).

Filtering by Booking Type Plan reports include both confirmed and soft bookings by default, so your planned hours and revenue reflect all of your staffing. Three reports — Hours Plan by Project and Resource, Hours Plan by Resource and Project, and Services Revenue Plan by Resource and Project by Time Unit — also offer a Booking Type filter in the Filters drawer. By default both are shown; select Confirmed or Soft to narrow a report to just your committed or just your provisional staffing. For more, see Confirmed and Soft Bookings. The following reports present differing views of data in your workspace:

​

​
Services Revenue Plan by Client and Project

Ruddr leverages billable allocations and Fixed Fee ledger entries to project services revenue. These allocations must be made to a billable project role that has an associated bill rate. That planned services revenue is available in the Services Revenue Plan by Client and Project report, which provides a view of the revenue grouped by client and project. There is a summary total of planned services revenue for each client. Multicurrency and the Services Revenue Plan by Client and Project Report For workspaces that leverage Ruddr’s Multicurrency feature, the Services Revenue Plan by Client and Project report provides the user with the ability to select the currency (Figure 4) that will be displayed (in addition to the project’s currency) and also used for the CSV / Excel export.
