Financing
You know what the seven panels on a source are for, what the dots in the grid mean, and why an installment has none.
The grid holds the money. Everything else about a source — who is paying, how it is treated, when it lands — hangs off it in the **Source Details** panel.
The panel always shows the selected source. There is nothing to open or close per row.
| Panel | What it holds | | --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | **Companies** | which company receives this money — one, not several | | **Effects** | one effect | | **Taxes** | one tax | | **Cash flow** | when the money lands — and what makes it Received | | **Tags** | your own labels, for grouping and for formulas | | **Notes** | free text | | **Attachments** | files — the award letter, the contract |
Each row shows a dot per detail it carries, so you can see what is set without selecting every row. Their tooltips name them: *Companies are applied*, *Effects are applied*, *Taxes are applied*, *Cashflow rule is applied*, *Contains attachments*.
Scanning the cash-flow dot down the plan is the fastest way to find out why Received looks empty — a source without that dot contributes nothing to it — see [what Received and Outstanding mean](/kb/article/what-received-and-outstanding-mean).
Each panel's own control removes what is set — choosing the delete entry in its dropdown, or clearing the selection. Removing a detail never affects the amount.
The one exception worth knowing: clearing a **cash-flow rule** changes the Received figures, because that rule is what Received is computed from.
Countries, groups and installments have **no details panel and no dots**. There is nothing hidden — detail belongs to the financier, and the financier is the source.
That is a real limit rather than an oversight in the interface: an installment cannot be given its own company, effect or tax at all. If two parts of a source need different treatment, they are two sources.
**Fringes & Supplements**, **Extra Costs** and **DFFF** are budgeting-only. They model the cost of employing people and the subsidy earned by spending — neither of which applies to money coming in.
