What good are numbers if they don't teach you anything? A budget without actuals is like ten-speed racer in a bike rack: it may look sleek and fancy, but it won't get you anywhere unless you use it.

The Variance Profit & Loss statement closes the loop from the Profit Plan to the estimate to job closeouts to the traditional financial statement and back again to the Profit Plan. It will pinpoint where and by how much any period in the fiscal year fell short of or exceeded expectations. Did the plant perform superbly, but did we give it all back by overspending? The Variance P & L will tell you.
