There are a number of useful financial forecasting tools available to you in ProWorkflow. These can be accessed and managed through the Items section on any Project. Forecasting based on the financial fields for any given Item are located in the grey section of the Item's financial fields.
Margins can be used to measure your current fiscal position against the expected return. They will require the use of the Manual Completion field, as this is vital to the forecasted calculations.
If your Time Spent is under your Time Allocated, but the Manual Completion % field exceeds that ratio (i.e. 60% of the Time Allocated has been used but the task is only 50% complete), you will see a forecast in the margin field that reflects the cost of the extra labour beyond what was allocated.
Margin% refers to an Item's profit Margin. Your forecasting section will use the Manual Completion stat to tell you how far your existing Margins deviate from the projected ones.
This will then factor into your forecasted Profit field, where you will see a true reflection of profit based on current progress.
