The Actual Revenues page allows you to record all revenues the Folio generates during its execution. Revenues are added to one of two main Categories: Operating revenues or non-operating revenues. Revenues can be single occurrence or recurrent. Consulting revenues are revenues earned from providing or performing consulting services, such as developers, testers, team leads, coaches, etc. and are added to the operating revenues. Information entered here will be used to provide project profitability metrics on the Overview page and will be shown on the Forecast charts.

Non-Consulting Revenues

Non-consulting Revenues include all amounts earned from other sources then billed worked hours while executing the Folio. They belong to one of two categories. Non-consulting Revenues can be single occurrence or recurrent ones. Recurrent revenues can also be amortized; in which case the amount associated with the revenue will be evenly split over the earned period.

See Non-Consulting Revenues for more information.

Consulting Revenues

Consulting revenues are the actual revenues from billed worked hours that the Folio generates. They are operating revenues. Consulting revenues are grouped by title (e.g. Developer, Architect, Q&A).

Team member	JIRA user associated with this consulting revenue. The same JIRA user can be associated with many different consulting revenues, each one potentially associated to a different rate and consulting revenue role.
Role	Role of the resource used to classify consulting revenues. The list of valid roles is configured by JIRA administrators at the add-on level under Tempo Teams > Team Roles. Examples: Developer, Q&A, Management, etc.
Overtime rule	Overtime rule to apply to the consulting revenue.
Workload Scheme	Workload scheme to use for this consultant. NB: If the JIRA user is a Team Member of the folio then the workload scheme will be set to the team member's scheme.
Holiday Scheme	Holiday scheme to use for this consultant. NB: If the JIRA user is a Team Member of the folio then the holiday scheme will be set to the team member's scheme.
From	Date from which this consulting revenue becomes effective.
To	Date until which this consulting revenue remains effective.
Billable Ratio	Default proportion of the hours worked by the team member that are billable (and thus should automatically be converted to revenue). For example, if the JIRA user associated with the consulting revenue has worked 100 hours to date on that Folio's issues and its billable ratio is 80%, then the calculated consulting revenue to date will be 80 hours x Rate.
Price Rate	Hourly amount of money this consulting revenue generates. The rate, along with worked hours and billable ratio, determine how much revenue it has generated at a given date. If the consulting revenue is marked to Use price table rate (using the toggle button in the Price rate section of the details panel when the consulting revenue is selected ), this field is not editable and the amount appearing in it comes from the price table associated with this folio. Note that in this case, the amount showing up is converted to the folio's currency given the exchange rates table defined in Tempo Budgets global settings. If the consulting revenue is not marked to use price table rate (when the Use price table rate toggle button is unchecked or implicitly when the folio is not using price table rates for consulting revenues as per its revenue tracking configuration), then the field is editable.
Description	An optional, free form description of the consulting revenue
