Revenue Dashboard and Reports

Revenue Dashboard and Reports

The Revenue Dashboard, available from Run Business > Revenue shows all billing activity for a selected billing group and billing period, giving full visibility into various revenue reports. Admins and Advisors can use the dashboard to find cash shortages and missing fee schedules, as well as develop a deeper understanding of how a client’s fees are collected.

Note: Each User will only see revenue for the Rep Codes they have been given permission to access in their User Profile. See Adding New Portfolio Management Users, Step 9 for more information.

The data shown on the Revenue Dashboard reflects the billing group and period set across the top. By default, it will display the current billing period. Use the drop downs in the upper right to show a different group or period if desired.

If your firm only has one billing group, the Billing Group drop-down does not display.

To the right of the Billing Period selection, the following controls are available:

  • Lock/Unlock Period: Mark the billing period complete and set the data to read-only or vice versa (See Locking the Billing Period).
  • Actions > Rename Period: Change the name of the currently selected billing period.
  • Actions > Preview Invoices 1: Generate a sample invoice of a particular account.
  • Actions > Generate Invoices 1: Generate invoices for all clients for the billing period (See Generating Fee-Billing Invoices).
  • Actions > Download Extracts: Download a zipped file of the extracts that can be sent to the custodian (The text files will need to have the extension changed to from .txt to .csv).

1 These options are only available once the billing period is locked.

The Revenue Dashboard is divided into three sections: Revenue Summary, Account Details, and Percentage of Revenue by Type, detailed below.
