Project-budget actuals use confirmed whole-journal allocations for that project, including proven dated reversals. They are distinct from time values, unissued invoices and a project's lifetime budget. Check the comparison's coverage before deciding that a project amount is missing.
Open the saved project plan and choose the version and months you want to inspect. Compare Planned, Posted actual and Actual minus planned for the relevant account. If an amount seems absent, inspect whether the source journal is posted and properly allocated to the project.
An unissued invoice can describe expected revenue without being a posted actual. A time entry can also have a value that does not equal the ledger's revenue or expense. Use the source workflow to establish the accounting event rather than manually inflating the budget's actuals.
When a dated reversal changes project activity, review the period in which it was recorded. A later correction can affect a different month from the original. Preserve those dates when explaining the variance and keep the budget assumptions separate from the actual accounting evidence.
