Performance Indicators

The maintenance and approvals screens have access to a pop-up window displaying performance indicators. This window is displayed by hovering with the mouse pointer over the information symbol.

A sample pop-up window shows:

  • Km Variance - the projected variance over the contract term

  • M&S (Maintenance and Servicing) - calculated by the M and S class codes

  • Rule of 78 - used as an indicator due to the associated burn rate of maintenance and servicing costs

  • Tyres - compared using a straight line calculation, i.e. budgeted amounts posted so far

  • Fuel pro-rata - based on straight line calculated as the total of fuel budgets posted so far


Budget vs Actual Operating

Budget vs Actual Section

Budgeted reports disclose budget versus actual for the major cost categories while non-budgeted reports disclose the actual cost and variance of the fuel budget only. These report templates are defined per Contract Type and can be set at the menu option Fleet / Controls / Accounts / Contract Types.

Finance

The value of the Finance row is determined by the check box "Report Finance Payments?" on the Contracts / Finance screen. If unchecked, the reports display Finance Budget values and Maintenance transactions as LTD Actual. If checked, the Budgeted reports will select Finance transactions from Payments and Approvals instead of using Budget values to calculate LTD Actual.

Maintenance and Tyres

Maintenance and Tyre actuals are stored in fm_maintenance (shown on the Maintenance screen). These usually come either from processing an approval (manual, reimbursement, or 1link interface) or from a card transaction (e.g. Starcard).

Registration and CTP

Registration and CTP actuals are stored in fm_maintenance (shown on the Maintenance screen). These usually come either from processing an approval (manual or reimbursement) or from bulk processing of Reg/CTP renewals.

Comprehensive Insurance

The value of Insurance actuals is determined by the field Billing Type in the Contracts / Insurance screen.

When this field is set to Driver Reimbursement or Client Reimbursement, the Fully Budgeted Novated Driver Report will obtain the actual insurance costs from the maintenance transactions (i.e. where the driver reimbursed transactions are stored) and the insurance payments and compare that to the budgeted insurance amounts (from the lease screen budgets).

The business rule is as follows: Move any actual insurance costs from the 'Other' row to the 'Insurance' row where the class code is "INS".

Fuel

The Novated Driver Operating Report includes both 'F' and 'O' class codes in the Fuel Actual numbers. "Operating Costs this Year" includes the posted budgeted amounts as well as any Recharge amounts. Including Recharge amounts allows for termination processing (i.e. final variance) to be included in the final report.

Other

The 'O' class is to be used for novated transactions which would normally be recharged (e.g. windscreen repairs) but which are to be applied against the novated driver's fuel budget.

The purpose of this is to prevent the issue of a recharge invoice and to allow these transactions to be reconciled at lease termination along with fuel. Thus the driver will pay for the transaction as part of the termination reconciliation.

Where Roadside Assistance (RSA) is included, the budgeted amount will be included under 'Other'. If 'RSA' Payment Schedules are in use and/or 'RSA' approvals have been created, the 'Actual' amount will display the sum of these. Where these entries are absent, the value will appear as '0.00'.

CEO

The Carbon Emission Offset actuals are shown in the "Other" budget line and are stored in fm_maintenance (shown on the Maintenance screen).

Relief Vehicle

Relief Vehicle actuals are a duplication of the budget values. There is no direct actual cost for this budget.

Fees

The report row for Fees is compiled of transactions from the posting classes MFEE, NFEE, FFEE, IFEE, and MCLUB. A global control field called report_budget_fees_flag can be used to change the treatment of fee budgets (billings) and actuals (approvals).

The flag can be set to either report the Actual column total as budgets+actuals, or alternatively it can show only the actuals.

The following table shows what you would see in this column depending on how the settings, and what data you have processed:

report_budget_fees_flag

Approval Entries

Result

yes (budgets+actuals)

Budget = 5 x 20 = 100, Actuals = 80

Budget Fees = $100, Actual Fees = $180

yes (budgets+actuals)

Budget = 5 x 20 = 100

Budget Fees = $100, Actual Fees = $100

no (actuals)

Budget = 5 x 20 = 100, Actuals = 80

Budget Fees = $100, Actual Fees = $80

no (actuals)

Budget = 5 x 20 = 100

Budget Fees = $100, Actual Fees = $0

Warning: When report_budget_fees_flag is set to 'yes' and a Management Fee Payment Schedule is in use, Driver Reports will record Actuals as the sum of budget and actual expense.

Contact Catch-e support if you want to confirm or change this flag in the system. Consider also the set-up of fees in Contract Types / Accruals and Contract Types / Expenses-Approvals, as those settings govern your ability to raise billings and approvals for these posting classes.

Exclusions

Certain classes can be excluded from report actual expenses to cater for fees and costs which are not part of the vehicle running costs and should not be deducted from budgets. Classes can be excluded by using the Group code of 'Exclude' on the Posting Classes screen.


Budget vs Actual Statutory

Budget vs Actual Section

This section displays budget versus actual for the major cost categories of the lease. These are detailed below.

Finance

The report treatment of Finance in the Driver Report depends on how the Contracts / Finance "Report Finance Payments?" check box is set. The table below summarises the two options.

We recommend the "Report Finance Payments?" check box be checked on.

The option to leave this unchecked is a legacy option that you could use if you are not using Contracts / Payments to manage your finance payments, or if you wanted to show the driver or employee a 'perfect' budget to payment match.

The flag can be set to either report the Actual column total as budgets+actuals, or alternatively it can show only the actuals.

The following table shows what you would see in this column depending on how the report_budget_fees_as_actual_flag is set, and what data you have processed:

Fuel

Fuel actuals are stored in fm_maintenance (shown on the Contracts / Maintenance tab). These usually come either from processing an approval (manual, reimbursement, or 1link interface) or from a card transaction (e.g. Starcard).

The Novated Driver Operating Report includes both 'F' and 'O' transactions in the Fuel Actual field. "Operating Costs this Year" includes the posted budgeted amounts as well as any recharged amounts. Including recharged amounts allows for termination processing (i.e. final variance) to be included in the final report.

O

The 'O' posting class is used for novated transactions which would normally be recharged (e.g. windscreen repairs) but are put to the novated driver's fuel budget.

This means a recharge invoice is not required and these transactions will form part of the lease termination reconciliation.

Roadside Assistance

If your report has a Roadside Assistance row, this will populate with values from the 'RSA' budget and actual costs from payments and maintenance transactions.

If your report does not show this row, the 'RSA' transactions will be shown in the Other row.

Other

The Other row displays any transactions that have not been identified and applied to a preceding row.

CEO

The Carbon Emission Offset actuals are shown in the "Other" budget line and are stored in fm_maintenance (shown on the Maintenance screen).

Relief Vehicle

Relief Vehicle actuals are a duplication of the budget values. There is no direct actual cost for this budget.

Exclusions

Certain classes can be excluded from report actual expenses to cater for fees and costs which are not part of the vehicle running costs and should not be deducted from budgets. Classes can be excluded by using the Group code of 'Exclude' on the Posting Classes screen.
