The budget, the commitments, the actuals, the forecast — on one project view.
Multi-version budgets through the project life, commitments visible at the point of approval, actuals as they post, rolling forecast that combines commitments and remaining-work estimates. Change orders move the baseline with audit trail; the original budget is never lost.
Multi-version budget
Bid, contracted, current — multiple budget versions preserved through the project life. Change orders move current; baselines are immutable.
Commitment visibility
POs raised against the project consume budget at approval, not at goods receipt. Over-commitment caught at approval time.
Actuals in real time
Labour, expenses and supplier invoices post to the project as they happen. The budget-vs-actual chart reflects the morning, not last week.
Rolling forecast
Actuals to date + open commitments + remaining-work estimate = forecast at completion. Revised on the cadence the operations team chooses.
What the budget surface covers
Budget versions
Bid budget (the price), contracted budget (the customer-signed scope), current budget (after approved change orders). Each preserved with effective dates.
Change-order workflow
Customer change requests reviewed for scope, schedule and cost impact; approved change orders move the current budget; rejection preserves the request for audit.
Commitment tracking
POs, subcontracts and reservations consume budget at approval. Budget-availability check at PO approval prevents silent over-runs.
Forecast at completion
Actuals + commitments + estimate-to-complete. Estimate-to-complete maintained by the project manager with audit trail of every revision.
Variance analysis
Per-WBS-leaf variance against current budget, against contracted, against bid. Cost performance index and schedule performance index for earned-value reporting.
Approval matrix
Budget creation, change-order approval and forecast revision routed through approval matrices configured by amount and project type.
Why a budget that doesn't change is worse than no budget
A project's budget is rarely correct at start and never correct at month two. Treating it as immutable means the project manager is always reporting against a fiction; treating it as freely editable means the original commitment is forgotten.
Axional preserves the original budget as the baseline, lets the current budget move through approved change orders, and shows variance against both. The project manager reports against current (operationally honest); the customer-facing performance is measured against contracted (commercially honest); the bid is preserved for win/loss analysis on future tenders.
