How do I simulate the budget's cash position with advance and retention?

Steps

  1. Open the budget and the CF tab.
  2. Enter the Advance as an amount or as Advance %: one calculates the other.
  3. Check the Retention %, which comes from the project.
  4. Click Update (with an advance, it is also recalculated on save).
  5. Read the table: the Start row collects the advance; each stage has Egress (its planning), Payment State (Egress × certification factor), the Advance that is deducted, the Retention, the Incomes, the Partial CF and the Accumulated CF.
  6. The End row returns the sum of the retentions: it is the forecast of the retention collection.
Warning

It does not calculate without stages: “You must generate some stages before updating the cash flow!”

The Egress comes from each stage's planning: click UPD if the planning has changed.

Site note

The advance is deducted in equal parts across all stages.
