Productive offers several system permission sets with varying levels of access, which you can assign to different employees within your organization.
One of these sets is the Profitability Manager permission, designed for roles higher in the hierarchy compared to regular Managers.
This permission set grants access to two key metrics that regular Managers do not have:
Organization-wide Profit
Provides visibility into the overall profit of the organization.
Profit and Revenue on Budgets
Shows detailed profitability and revenue data related to budgets.
It's important to note that Profitability Managers still do not have access to cost rates or overall organizational settings.
To illustrate the differences, let's compare how budget information appears to a Manager versus a Profitability Manager in Productive.
Manager's View
Time Section:
Budgeted, and billable time, including the remaining time.Budget section:
Total, used, and remaining budget amounts.Invoicing section:
Total, invoiced, and the remaining amount to be invoiced.
Profitability Manager's View
Two distinct tabs are available: Budgeting and Profitability.
1) The Budgeting tab contains information available to Managers.
2) The Profitability tab, exclusive to Profitability Managers and higher roles, presents a specialized set of data:
Time Section:
Displays all time spent on the project, including non-billable hours.Profit Section:
Highlights the project's profitability.Invoicing Section:
Shows invoicing details, consistent with the invoicing information in the Budgeting overview.
This differentiation allows Profitability Managers to delve deeper into project profitability metrics beyond what is visible to standard Managers.
