Hi Sada

It depends from what you intend to do.

- Monthly budget: keep them in EXCEL, run a P3e-report for budgeted and actual costs into Excel, then compare.
- To get actual against planned figures: For my experience this in general was the solution. Create a time-distributed report to compare baseline and actual.
In Germany Spending Plan is very seldom used. I’m very interested to learn a better solution.

Regards
Dieter
