How does the Budgets ReportBuilder determine which line items to include in the report?

Report contents are limited to those budget or line item records in effect during the Budgets Date Range specified in the ReportBuilder's settings.  Whether or not a budget or the line items it contains are in effect are both based on the effective and expiration dates within the budget itself, or within the parent budget record in the case of line items.

Why aren't all of the line items being included in the budget's calculated total?

The calculated total value for each budget reflects the sum of the total costs of the budget's individual line item recordsexcluding those for which no Number of Staff value is recorded.  If a calculated total does not reflect all line items, double-check to make sure that the number of staff is recorded for each of those line items.
