Analyze Maintenance Budgets

Advanced cost control with Dimensions. Learn to review monthly actuals against budget and analyze Maintenance Budget with Dimensions.

Review Budget vs Actual Values

Reviewing budgets is mainly done on the Maintenance Cost/Budget page that you open by editing a budget and press "Budget Realization".

  • Maintenance Cost/Budget analyzes the selected budget
  • Maintenance Cost/Budget shows the data you choose in Options. This include Show as Lines ("Asset Group"), View by ("Month"), Date Filter ("01/12/25..31/12/25"), etc.
  • Maintenance Cost/Budget is showing actual vs budgeted costs in four cost categories: Resource Cost, Item Cost, Expense Cost, and Total Cost.
  • Maintenance Cost/Budget is actual to budget variances in the Resource, Item, Expense, and Total Cost/Budget (%) columns.

Maintenance Statistics and other report allow further analysis of actual maintenance costs.

Tip: Why is the Maintenance Cost/Budget list blank? This happens when no budget entries match filters on your current budget. Go back to the Edit Budget screen to add budget entries.
