Financing
You can split a source's total into installments, each with its own amount and payment date, and delete an installment you no longer need.
When a source pays its money in stages, you split its total into installments. Each installment has its own amount and its own payment date. For example, a fund pays 30 % when the financing is closed, 40 % on the first shooting day and 30 % at the rough cut. To change installments, you need a licence that covers Financing. In the Demo Project, you can change them with every licence.
Select the source, or one of its installments, and click  **Installment**. KOSMA opens **Set Cash Flow Rule – Installments** for the source. If the source has no installments yet, the dialog already contains a first installment for the whole total of the source.
A source can have up to 10 installments. After the tenth, KOSMA no longer shows **Add**. Click  **Add**. KOSMA adds the new installment after the last one, for the part of the total that no other installment covers yet. If the other installments already cover the whole total, the new one starts at 0. KOSMA names it Installment 2, Installment 3 and so on, in English in every interface language. Replace the name with the payment it stands for, for example Financing Closed or First Shooting Day.
In the field after the name, enter the installment's share. Use the switch next to the field to change between a percentage of the source's total and an amount in the source's currency. When you enter a percentage, KOSMA saves the amount that this percentage gives of the current total.
If you change the source's amount later, its installments keep their amounts and no longer add up to the new total. KOSMA shows no warning in the plan. Open the installments again and change the amounts.
For each installment, set when it is paid in one of two ways: click  **Milestone mode** to choose a milestone from a list, or click  **Date mode** to enter a date. In the field before **Days**, enter how many days after that milestone or date the money arrives, or a negative number for days before.
As soon as a source has installments, **Received** follows only the installments' schedules. The source's own cash flow rule no longer applies.
See [what Received and Outstanding mean](/kb/article/what-received-and-outstanding-mean).
Once every installment has an amount above 0 and a milestone or a date, and the amounts add up to the source's total, click **Ok**. KOSMA shows the installments as rows under the source in the grid, in the order of the dialog.
**Reset** removes the milestone, date and days from every installment, gives the first installment the whole total and sets the others to 0. The names stay. To keep your changes, click **Ok**; to discard them, click **Cancel**.
1. Select the installment and click  **Delete**. KOSMA opens **Set Cash Flow Rule – Installments** for its source. The installment is not yet deleted. 2. To delete the installment, click  **Delete** on its line. KOSMA adds the amount of the deleted installment to the last installment in the list. The other installments keep their amounts. 3. Click **Ok**.
If you delete the last remaining installment, the source has no installments and its own cash flow rule applies again.
**What an installment has.** An installment has a name, an amount and a schedule. When you select an installment, the **Source Details** panel shows its source. Company, effect, tax, tag, note and attachment belong to the source. The **Status** cell of an installment stays empty, because the status of the source applies to it. If you change the source's currency, its installments change to the new currency. You cannot drag installments in the grid.
**Installment** stays greyed out until you select a source or one of its installments. Its tooltip then reads:
A source is needed to add an installment
If the button stays greyed out while a source is selected, you cannot edit this plan. Point at the button to see the reason. With a Budget or Cost Control licence, the tooltip reads:
You don't have editing access to this module with your licence. Upgrade your licence — or ask your team admin, if your licence comes from a team.
For the licences that let you edit Financing, see [what your licence includes](/kb/article/what-your-licence-includes).
**If a pasted source shows nothing received.** When you paste a copied source, its installments keep their names and amounts but lose their schedules. Until each installment has a milestone or a date again, the source shows no **Received** value. Select the source, click  **Installment** and set the schedules as in step 4.
