Budget Tracking

How budgets work in Liru

Budgets in Liru are live – they update automatically when products are added, clients make selections, or prices change. No manual spreadsheet work.

Budget structure

Budgets are organized:

**Per room** – each room has its own sub-budget

**Per category** – furniture, lighting, materials, labor, etc.

**Total** – aggregated across all rooms

Adding items to the budget

Products enter the budget in two ways:

1. **Chrome extension** – capture products from any website

2. **Manual entry** – add custom items with price and details

Each budget item shows:

• Product name and image

• Source URL

• Price (original currency + converted)

• Quantity

• Room assignment

• Status (pending / approved / purchased)

Multi-currency support

If you source products internationally, Liru handles currency conversion automatically. Exchange rates are updated daily. You can set a base currency for each project.

Client budget view

Clients can see a simplified budget view in their portal:

• Room totals

• Approved vs. pending items

• Total project cost

• Budget vs. allowance comparison

Tips

• Set budget allowances per room before sourcing products

• Use the "approved" status to lock in prices after client sign-off

• Review the budget summary before every client meeting
