What Budgeted, Measured, Can Pay, Overpaid and Delayed mean

Step 1: Where they are

On Schedule, each stage card shows three value labels under the name: Budgeted, Measured, and either Can Pay or Overpaid. When the stage has dates, the period appears just below, with the start date, to and the end date. Amounts are in the project's currency.

Step 2: BUDGETED and MEASURED

• Budgeted: the stage's Planned Value
• Measured: the budgeted amount times physical progress. A 10,000 stage at 40% progress has 4,000 measured. It changes as soon as you move the stage's slider.

Step 3: Where the paid amount comes from

Each stage's paid amount is the total of the expenses entered in Financial with that stage chosen under Link to Phase (Optional). Income isn't counted. The link is made by the stage name: Why link expenses to stages

Step 4: CAN PAY

Green label: the measured amount minus what's already been paid, in other words how much of the work done hasn't been paid yet. If it shows zero, everything measured has been paid.

Step 5: OVERPAID

Red label that replaces Can Pay when the paid amount goes over the measured amount. It shows the difference: how much has been paid beyond the work done on the stage.
