I’m seeing what appears to be a gap in the standard Budget Report within RM and would like to confirm whether this is expected behavior or a defect.
When viewing a project and running the out-of-the-box Budget Report from the left sidebar, it uses the default filters:
- Entry Type: Future, Confirmed
- Approval Status: Approved, [none]
The issue: hours entered for the current week are not appearing in the report.
For example, a team member has entered 4 hours per day for this week on their timesheet. However, those hours are not showing in the Budget Report results.
From what I can tell, the reason appears to be that current-week entries fall into a gap:
- They are not Future
- They are not yet Approved
- Therefore, they are excluded by the default filter configuration
This only becomes noticeable as you get further away from the last approved time. For example, if the previous week’s time is approved on Monday and the Budget Report is run on Thursday of the current week, the hours entered Monday–Thursday of the current week are not included in the report.
I’ve tested this across multiple projects and am seeing the same behavior.
Is this intended behavior based on how Entry Type and Approval Status interact in the Budget Report? Or is this a defect? If this is expected, what is the recommended filter configuration to ensure current-week (unapproved) hours are included in the standard Budget Report view?
