If a Project ID is not provided, Lumanu will auto-generate an ID for you. This ID cannot be changed once set.

    • Total Budget: The budget set during Project creation.
    • Allocated: The total sum of payouts created and awaiting payment within the given Project.
    • Spent: The amount of funds issued within the Project (pending or settled).
    • Available: Total remaining funds available to spend in your project budget after accounting for spend and allocated funds.
