Revenue Tracking Tools

Access key reports and tools to monitor revenue, analyze financial activity, and gain a clearer understanding of your project’s overall financial health.

How to Track Revenue

To understand true project revenue, it’s important to review multiple financial views. Use Management Reports—specifically the Revenue/Expenses by Budget Category page and the Balance Sheet—together to see a complete and accurate picture. Each report provides valuable insight, but only by using both can you fully understand your project’s financial position.

Account Codes pertaining to Revenue

* If you are not seeing some of these revenue account codes on your Management Reports it is likely because that specific project hasn’t triggered those accounts to populate.

Cost Reimbursable Projects: Understanding Your Revenue

Tracking revenue for cost reimbursable projects requires looking at more than one report. Each report shows a different part of the financial picture—so reviewing them together gives you the most accurate view of cash received.

Review the Revenue/
Expenses Report

On the Revenue/Expenses by Budget Category page, the revenue line reflects expenses as they are incurred.

Account Description Budget Month Rev/Exp FYTD Rev/Exp PTD Rev/Exp Encumbered Budget Balance
401106 Contracts and Grants - Nongovern 0.00 0.00 26,314.78 26,314.78 0.00
**TOTAL Revenue 0.00 0.00 26,314.78 26,314.78 0.00 -26,314.78
  • Revenue increases as project expenses are recorded
  • Revenue will not exceed the billing limit set for the project
  • The amount shown, e.g., $26,314.78, represents recognized revenue, not necessarily cash received

In other words: this report shows what has been earned—not what has been paid.

Review the Balance Sheet

The Balance Sheet provides insight into billing and payment activity.

Account Description Beginning Balance Changes Ending Balance
10500 Claim on Cash -6,979.41 6,979.41 -2,739.63
16300 C&G Accts Rec - Billed 6,979.41 -6,979.41 0.00
16301 C&G Accts Rec - Unbilled 2,739.63 0.00 2,739.63

What to look for:

  • Amounts that have been invoiced (billed)
  • Amounts that are still outstanding
  • Payments that have been received and cleared

For example:

  • Line 16300 shows invoice activity
  • A value in the “Changes” column, e.g., $6,979.41, indicates payment received during that period
  • Once an invoice is paid, it no longer appears as outstanding on the balance sheet

Combine both Reports

To understand actual cash received, you need to use both reports together.

  • Revenue/Expenses Report – shows earned revenue based on expenses
  • Balance Sheet – shows billing and payment status

Together, they provide a complete view of your project’s financial activity and cash flow.
