Financing
You can read every figure in the rail and know which question each one answers.
The rail beside the grid — **Grand Totals**, in the plan's reporting currency — is the part of the module that gets read most. Six figures, three questions.
| Figure | What it is | | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | **Financing** | every source in the plan, converted and summed | | **Budget** or **Forecast** | what you are financing against | | **Difference** | the comparison total minus Financing — the gap |
**Difference is the number the whole module exists for.** Positive means the film is not yet fully financed; zero means it is; negative means you have found more money than you are spending.
Whether the middle row says **Budget** or **Forecast** depends on what the plan is linked to — a budget gives you Budget, a cost control set gives you Forecast — see [how a plan links to a budget](/kb/article/how-a-plan-links-to-a-budget).
| Figure | What it is | | ------------- | ---------------------------------- | | **Confirmed** | sources committed by the financier | | **Submitted** | applications awaiting an answer | | **Pending** | everything else, including unset |
These three are the same money as Financing, split by status — so **they always add up to Financing.** That is what makes the rail readable at a glance: a plan that is fully financed on paper but mostly Pending is a plan in trouble, and the two figures side by side say so.
[What the source status means](/kb/article/what-the-source-status-means) sets out the rest.
| Figure | What it is | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | **Received** | money whose cash-flow rule is already in the past | | **Outstanding** | the rest of the financing total |
Received is computed from schedules, never ticked. A plan with no cash-flow rules shows nothing received, however confirmed it is — see [what Received and Outstanding mean](/kb/article/what-received-and-outstanding-mean).
Usually one of four things, in this order of likelihood:
1. **Sources with a blank Amount.** They are in the plan and carry no money. Scan the Total column for empty cells. 2. **A formula that no longer resolves** — an account renumbered, a tag renamed. Also shows as a blank Total; the **fx** view shows which. 3. **The plan is linked to a different budget** than the one you are comparing by eye. Check *Linked to* in the Financing Plans Manager. 4. **It genuinely does not match** — which is the plan telling you the truth. That is what Difference is for.
