The Pipeline budget is BigTime's simplest form of budgeting. It allows you to estimate the total revenues projected per project per month for a given project.
If you use the sales pipeline features in BigTime, your sales team can enter a pipeline budget when they add prospects to the system. This gives them a way to enter a general estimate revenue expectations for a given opportunity.

Each project or prospect in the system can have a pipeline budget attached to it. If you're using the sales pipeline, you can also attache a probability to each project, and you can print reports that "weight" your pipeline data based on probability.
