Cash Flow
You can open, rename, sort, copy and delete cash flow plans in one list and know what a copy keeps.
The **Cash Flow Plans** dialog lists the cash flow plans of every budget in the project. In it, you open, rename, sort, copy and delete plans. To open it, click **Manage Cash Flow Plans** in the plan dropdown.
With a **Budget** or **Cost Control** licence, **Manage Cash Flow Plans** is greyed out, because these licences do not cover Cash Flow. See [what your licence includes](/kb/article/what-your-licence-includes).
The plan dropdown lists the plans of the open budget first and all other plans under **In Other Budgets**, the most recently changed first. In **Cash Flow Plans**, **Root Budgets** on the left lists every budget of the project, and a budget without a cash flow plan is dimmed. Click a budget to see its plans on the right.
To open a plan, click  **Open plan** in its row. To create a plan, click  **New Cash Flow**; see [create a cash flow plan](/kb/article/create-a-cash-flow-plan).  **Share…** in a row opens the sharing dialog of the whole budget the plan belongs to; see [share a cash flow plan](/kb/article/share-a-cash-flow-plan).
To sync, click  **Sync plan** in a row, or click **Update All**. Both buttons sync the whole budget file with every plan stored in it. KOSMA enables them only when there is something to sync.
The plans of a budget other than the open one are read-only here. You can open them, but you cannot sort, rename, copy or delete them.
| Column | Shows | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Name** | The name of the plan | | **Comment** | The comment on the plan | | **In this budget** | A dash for every plan | | **You can** | What you may do with the plan: **Can edit**, **Can view**, **Frozen copy** or **No access**. The owner always sees **Can edit** | | **Modified** | When the plan was last changed |
When you point at the dash in **In this budget**, KOSMA shows:
Presence isn't available yet
If you own a plan or may edit it, you can change **Name** and **Comment** directly in its row. To change the order of the list, drag a row by  **Drag to reorder**.
Click  **Copy plan** in the row of the plan. To copy the plan that is open, you can also choose **Copy Cash Flow Plan** in the **Project** menu (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac, Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows). KOSMA opens **Copy Cash Flow**. The name box shows the name of the original followed by (copy). If a plan already has that name, KOSMA adds a number.
If the plan is shared with others, **Copy Cash Flow** first asks **What kind of copy?**:
- **A backup** (selected by default): everyone who can see the original can see the backup. KOSMA adds (backup) to the name and enters your name and the date as the comment. The button reads **Create Backup**. KOSMA does not open the backup. - **A copy for me**: nobody else can see the copy.
If you want, change the name and add a comment. If the plan is not shared, or you chose **A copy for me**, click **Create Copy**. KOSMA creates the copy and opens it.
A cash flow plan stores no amounts. Each time KOSMA shows a plan, it calculates the figures from the budget and the financing plan the plan reads, so a copy holds no amounts either. A copy reads the same financing plan as the original. A copy of a plan that reads a cost control set reads the budget instead. A copy of a plan created with **Snapshot** also keeps the copy of the financing plan that the original made at creation.
A copy does not keep the credits and transfers of the original. When you first open the copy, KOSMA sets its window and view settings to the defaults.
The budget and the financing plan a plan reads are fixed when you create it, and you cannot change them in a copy. To compare figures from another budget or financing plan, create a separate plan with **New Cash Flow**; see [create a cash flow plan](/kb/article/create-a-cash-flow-plan).
Click  **Delete plan** in the row of the plan. KOSMA asks:
Are you sure you want to delete this cash flow plan?
Deleting the plan also deletes its credits, transfers and window settings, and for a plan created with **Snapshot** its copy of the financing plan. The budget, cost control set and financing plan it reads stay unchanged.
Click **Delete** to delete the plan, or **Cancel** to keep it.
