Weekly cost report draft; Immediate warning on threshold breach

Status: Built & tested – not yet in live use

Problem. Receipts land manually in spreadsheets, the budget-to-actual comparison happens by hand — overruns only surface weeks later.

Solution. Your Movie Magic budget is the single source for the target figures and is imported as such. Actuals build up continuously from recorded receipts. Threshold breaches (e.g. ±5 % per main cost group, ±500 € per line) immediately trigger a warning with the list of causing items; every Friday the report draft is ready. Commenting and sending it to financiers is up to you.
