What it saves you
- Budget vs actual and variance per event from its budget lines
- Vendor deposits and balances still owed are listed per event
- RSVP counts and dietary needs roll up automatically
- Run-of-show items not yet confirmed are flagged before the day
How the parts work together
- Plan: Create the event with its budget → Add budget lines and link vendors → Record deposits and balance due dates
- Coordinate: Build the run of show → Confirm every item in "Unconfirmed" → Track RSVPs and dietary needs
- Close out: Pay everything in "Payments due soon" → Rate vendors after the event
