Example assumptions and limits

Hypothetical calculation. It does not save a document, prove payment or post a journal entry.
Calculated in whole cents; division remainders stay in the final payment.
Entered amounts are assumptions. This cashflow plan does not separately calculate VAT, other taxes or additional charges.
Periods are sequence numbers, not agreed payment dates.
Retention is an assumed contractual percentage of work after the advance. The release row assumes agreed conditions are met; it is not evidence of an actual release.
