The navigation area shows all financing plans of the project. (1)

Add, delete or duplicate financing plans with the corresponding buttons. (2)

Just like budgets, financing plans consist of categories, groups and sources. (3)

You can add producers, tags, notes, cashflow dates, attachments, taxes, and effects at the macro area. (4)

All financing plans have to be linked to a budget. (5)

You can check the difference to that budget in the difference field. (6)

Switch to the Financing module (1) and click "+" (2).

Choose a name (3) and a linked budget for this plan (4), that will be used for project settings.

Decide if you want to start from scratch or use a financing plan template file (*.apmst) (5)

(You can save an existing financing plan as a template in MENU->PROJECT->SAVE FINANCING PLAN AS TEMPLATE)

And click Ok. (6)

If you decided to start with an empty plan, start by creating Categories, Groups and Financing Sources (1).

Groups have to be inside a category. Sources have to be inside a group.

The budget to which a financing plan is linked is shown at the bottom of the financing screen. You can change it by selecting a new budget from the list.

ATTENTION: The financing plan uses all settings from the linked budget, like currencies, producers, taxes, effects and cash flow dates. If you link a financing plan to another budget, all data in the macro area of the financing plan will be reset.

To manage a financing source that requires an effect, switch to the financing module (1) and the specific financing plan (2).

Make sure the financing plan is linked (3) to the budget for which you want to calculate a spending effect and the effect is already created in the settings.

Just like assigning an effect to a budget account, you can assign the financing source (4) to the effect by selecting the effect name in the macro area (5).

You can always check your effect status from the effects tab (2) in the settings (1).

Choose a financing plan from (3),

to see what amount is assigned from the financing plan (4) and what amount should be reached (5) with the percentage defined.

If you already assigned accounts in your budget, you can read the budgeted sum and percentage under Effect Status (6).

If you already work in Cost Control, you can assign a cost control set (7) to filter the costs instead of the budget.
