Since Runn needs billable work or charges to attribute the Project Revenue to, if you plan to add billable work afterwards, you can continue to keep work as non-billable until you are ready to start scheduling billable work.
As soon as you add your first scheduled billable work, the Project Revenue will be updated.
Implications
In the Project Insights and Project Overview Report, the Project Revenue will equal the Project Budget
In the Project Period Report, the Revenue of a specified period will be calculated based on the Effective Hourly Rate and the billable work scheduled.
3. Change all the work to billable
You can also change all the work to billable for the Project Revenue to be updated as the Project Budget. If this is not a confirmed project, you can set the Project Type as Tentative
