Member Budget Estimate

After adding Members and Open Roles to the relevant Work Categories, Budgets can be assigned to each.

To set the Budget for each Member or Role, click the corresponding field under the Budget column.

• In Currency view, enter either a percentage or a specific currency amount.

• In Hours view, enter the number of hours.

Member Budget estimates in hours can be entered even if Members do not have an assigned Rate.

A rate must be assigned to the member or role in order to set the budget in currency. If no rate is set, the budget cell in currency view will display "$0" in red text, indicating that the rate needs to be defined first.

Automatic budget estimate adjustment when member is archived

When a Member is archived from a Work Category, Mosaic compares their Budget Estimate to their actual Spent amount (from Timesheets):

• If the Budget Estimate is greater than the Spent amount:
  The Member is archived and the estimate is automatically adjusted to match the actual Spent amount.

• If the Budget Estimate is less than the Spent amount:
  The Member is archived, but the estimate remains unchanged, since it was already lower than what was actually spent.
