1. Fetch Project Budget Details
Retrieve the total allocated budget and current spending data from the Project Data Model.
2. Fetch All Expense Entries
Retrieve all individual expense records associated with the current Project ID.
3. Calculate Total Actual Spend
Sum the 'Amount' property of all retrieved Expense Entries to determine total expenditure to date.
4. Calculate Remaining Budget
Subtract the Total Actual Spend from the Total Allocated Budget to find the remaining balance.
5. Calculate Budget Variance Percentage
Calculate the percentage difference between the planned budget and the actual spend.
6. Determine Budget Status
Evaluate if the variance exceeds a predefined threshold (e.g., if variance > 10%, flag as 'Over Budget').
7. Update Project Financial Status
Update the 'Financial Health' field in the Project Data Model based on the calculated variance.
8. Create Budget Alert Task
Assign a task to the Project Manager if the budget variance exceeds the threshold.
9. Create Re-forecasting Task

10. Create Budget Exception Log
Create a new entry in the 'Budget Alerts' data model to document the specific instance of overspending.
11. Notify Stakeholders of Overrun
Send an email to the Project Sponsor and Finance Department regarding the budget alert.
12. Generate Monthly Cost Report
Generate a structured report summarizing all expenses, variances, and remaining funds for the current period.
13. Update Forecasted End-of-Project Cost
Update the 'Projected Total Cost' field in the Project Data Model based on current burn rate.
14. Urgent Budget Alert SMS
