Reading ERP Analytics

Where the numbers come from

These metrics roll up live from your projects, budgets and timesheets — the status mix across the portfolio, budget burn, and hours logged. Use them to spot projects trending over budget or behind schedule before they become problems.

What to look at

• Status mix — how many projects sit in each status. A growing "at risk" bucket is your earliest warning.
• Budget burn — spend against budget per project. A project at 80% burn and 40% complete needs a conversation this week, not next month.
• Logged hours — time booked to projects in the period, which is what ultimately drives profitability.

If burn looks wrong

Budget burn only counts approved timesheets and posted costs. Unapproved time makes a project look cheaper than it is — check ERP → Timesheets for a backlog of pending approvals.

Tip: Read burn alongside completion, never on its own. Burn without progress is the number that actually predicts an overrun.
