📘 Screen: Budget - Summary (Dashboard)
It's the wrap-up of the budget: one column per crop, one line for each number that matters — area, total cost, cost in bags, expected yield, production, sale price and expected profit — and a TOTAL column at the end.
In the menu it's called Dashboard; the title inside the screen is Summary.
📍 Location in the system
Menu: Budget > Dashboard
🧩 Main function
Answer, on one screen, the questions the budget exists to answer: what a hectare costs, how many bags pay for the cost, how much is left if the season turns out as expected. All within the Scenario chosen at the top — switching the scenario switches every number.
🗂 The three tabs
- Grouped by Group — cost broken down by component groups: how much goes to seed, crop protection, fertilizer, services.
- Grouped by Crop — the same numbers organized by crop, with unit price, quantity, total amount and amount in dollars.
- Dashboard — the budget's graphic panels, refreshed automatically on a timer.
📊 The summary lines
| Line | What it is |
|---|---|
| Hectares | Each crop's area in the scenario, and the farm total. |
| A - Total Costs - R$ | The planned cost, in reais — the sum of what came from the matrices with the price from the Planning Quote. |
| B - Total Costs - Bags | The same cost converted into bags. It's the most common reading on the farm: "I need this many bags per hectare just to pay the bill". |
| C - Expected average harvest - Bags | The expected yield, from the scenario. |
| D - Production - Bags | Total expected production: yield × area. |
| E - Expected sale price - Per Bag | The expected price per bag, also from the scenario. |
| F - Total Production - R$ | Expected revenue: production × price. |
| Expected profit - R$ | What's left after cost. It's the line that closes the budget. |
- The season's cost per hectare and per bag is spelled out, crop by crop.
- You can compare scenarios and decide with numbers, not gut feeling.
- The budget becomes a benchmark to hold actuals against during the season.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Costs show as zero. What's missing?
The components' prices. Open the Planning Quote, enter the unit price and save — the summary recalculates.
How do I know how many bags per hectare pay for the cost?
It's the B - Total Costs - Bags line, which converts the planned cost into bags using the scenario's expected sale price.
Why did the summary change when I didn't touch it?
Because it's calculated: any change to a matrix, planning, area or price shows up here right away. Also check the Scenario selected at the top.
Can I see cost broken down by type of input?
Yes, on the Grouped by Group tab, which breaks cost down by component groups — seed, herbicide, fertilizer, services.
