Before you start
- You need the read agreements permission.
- Balances are copied from the PSA. This view is read-only. You cannot edit or top up a balance here.
- Check the units first. An agreement can track hours, incidents, or money.
Read the current balance
1
Open the agreement
Click Agreements or Contracts in the sidebar, then click the agreement’s row.
2
Click the Balances tab
The tab name shows how many balance rows exist, for example Balances (3).
3
Find the Current section
Rows marked Current are the active period. Each shows its dates, an hourly rate when the PSA supplies one, and the remaining balance. As of at the top shows when the balance data last synced. It is not live usage tracking.
4
Read the units and the bar
The text tells you what is left. When a purchased total exists, the filled part of the bar shows usage. Amber means less than 25% remaining. Red means the balance is below zero. A negative value is shown, not hidden.
Read past periods
1
Scroll to History
Past rows are grouped by year, with the number of periods for each year.
2
Read each period
Each row is marked Past and has its own dates and balance. Do not add a past balance to the current one unless your MSP confirms the agreement carries it forward.
Report a problem with a balance
Send your MSP the agreement name, the period, the units and balance you see, and the As of time. Ask them to check recent time entries and the PSA’s balance calculation. Do not assume a missing row means unlimited coverage.Troubleshooting
