You can print a cost control set as a PDF and choose which money columns it carries.
You can print a cost control set as a PDF. You choose which money columns it carries, then open or save it. You need a cost control set open in Cost Control.
In the **Project** menu, choose **Print…**. Cost Control opens its own print dialog: **Print Cost Report**.
Check the fields at the top of the dialog and change them if you need to.
| Field | What it sets | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Title** | The title on the PDF | | **Grid** | The structure of the report. **Standard** is set. To print an alternate structure you have already built, see [print a budget in another structure](/kb/article/print-a-budget-in-another-structure) | | **Currency** | The currency of the amounts | | **Color Mode** | **Color** or **B/W** | | **Paper Size** | **DIN A4** or **US Letter** | | **Orientation** | **Auto**, **Portrait** or **Landscape** |
Drag what the reader needs from **Totals** into **Selected Columns**: a cost report has no fixed money columns, so nothing prints until you do. Companies, effects and DFFF values can be dragged in the same way, if the set has any.
| Column | Shows | | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------- | | **Budget** | The budget values the set was frozen against | | **Forecast** | Where the account is expected to land | | **Paid** | What has actually gone out | | **Pending** | Unpaid amounts: forecast minus what has been paid | | **Variance** | The difference between budget and forecast |
**Open PDF** and **Save PDF** stay disabled until you add at least one column.
Tick the options you need under **Display Options**. **Active Filter** is ticked when the dialog opens.
| Option | Effect | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Cost Items** | Prints the individual bookings under each account, not only the account totals | | **No 0 Totals** | Leaves out every account with a total of 0 | | **Topsheet Stats** | Prints the Companies and Effects tiles your Cost Control dashboard is showing, on the cover page | | **Active Filter** | Prints only the rows the current filter shows |
KOSMA prints an Exchange Rates tile on the cover whenever the set has more than one currency, whether or not **Topsheet Stats** is ticked.
A cost report has no Additional Sheets section.
Click **Open PDF** or **Save PDF**. The document opens on a summary page: every category, a **Net Production Costs** subtotal, the markups, and a **Grand Total**.
