View estimated cost

You can check the monthly and daily estimated cost, as well as the project-wise estimated cost as follows:

Permission

• Only users with roles of Billing Admin, Billing Manager, Billing Viewer can access the View estimated cost menu.
• Even billing role users will have restricted access to the billing menu if they are not part of a billing group.
• Users can only view invoices for the billing groups they have access to.

caution

• Even if a specific project is not connected to a billing group based on the current month's bill issuance, you can still view the billing amount for that project based on previously issued bills.
  
• (Example)
  When checking sub billing group A in July, you can view the billing amount for Project B. However, when checking for June, you can see the billing amounts for both Project A and B.

  • June:

    Billing group	Project
    Sub billing group A	Project A, B
    Sub billing group B	Project C

  • July:

    Billing group	Project
    Sub billing group A	Project B
    Sub billing group B	Project A, C
