Work with Not budgeted budget item

Created by Alexandra Gallisová, Modified on Mon, 11 Sep 2023 at 04:36 AM by Alexandra Gallisová

A 'Not Budgeted' item is automatically created for each project and serves several functions:


1) Immediate Work:

Even if your newly created project lacks data, Allfred offers complete freedom without limitations. You can commence work on the project immediately, create tasks, track time, and efficiently organize your team's resources. Simply utilize the pre-made 'Not Budgeted' item (as illustrated in Fig. 1) to create tasks, monitor hours, or plan capacities.


2) Pre-sale Projects / Acquisitions:

Clients often use the 'Not Budgeted' budget item to generate tasks for pre-sale projects or new acquisitions, which may or may not convert into clients. Under this 'Not Budgeted' item, they can plan tasks for tenders and monitor the hours spent on individual tenders. Allfred automatically adds positions filled in the Proposals - Positions section to the 'Not Budgeted' items.


3) Internal Projects:

Some clients also employ the 'Not Budgeted' budget item for internal (pro bono) projects. They track time spent on meetings, managing internal social networks, workshops, or any other internal activities. For each activity, they simply create a task and report their time.

How to delete Not budgeted budget item?


Once the budget is assigned, the "not-budgeted" item will be marked as "deleted" (as shown in Fig 2). If there are no hours tracked in this budget item, it will disappear right after assigning a budget to the project.
