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.
