Cash Flow
You know what Combined Producers and the view of a single company show in a cash flow plan, and why money can be missing from a company's view.
With **Producer** in the rail, you choose whether a cash flow plan shows all companies of the budget together or the share of one company. In a company's view, the plan shows that company's share of the budget and the financing over time. **Combined Producers** shows the same for the whole production.
**Producer** is in the rail below **Budget Detail** and **Currency**, above **Credits** and **Transfers**. The list starts with **Combined Producers**. Below it come the companies of the budget the plan is based on, in the order of that budget's **Companies** dialog. Hidden companies are not in the list. If the budget has only one visible company or none, **Producer** is greyed out.
KOSMA saves your choice with the plan. On a plan you can only read, KOSMA does not save a new choice; the plan stays on the view it was saved with. When you open the plan again, it shows the view you chose last. A new plan opens on **Combined Producers**. The heading above the chart and the grid names the view, for example **Cash Flow (EUR) - Combined Producers**. The header of a printed plan names the view too.
When you choose a company, the chart shows only that company's share. The same applies to the rows **Income**, **Expenses**, **Cash Flow** and **Cumulated cash flow**, the tax rows and the columns **Before** and **After**. KOSMA counts the share like this:
- An account counts with the company's share, whether you entered it as a percentage or as an amount. An account in which the company has no share is left out. - A source counts in full if it belongs to the company, and not at all if it does not. - An installment counts for the company entered on it. If it has none, it counts for the company of its source. - A tax amount counts like the amount it belongs to.
A company's view shows every credit and every transfer in full, whichever company they belong to. For a credit, this means the amount drawn and the repayments. For a transfer, the view shows the outgoing and the incoming amount, so the transfer does not change the balance. In a company's view, **Cumulated cash flow** is therefore the company's share of the budget and the financing plus the credits of all companies. It is not the balance of that company's bank account.
Money without a company is money in an account in which no company has a share above 0, or in a source with no company. It appears in no company's view. **Combined Producers** shows every amount in full, this money included, on its own dates. An account split between two companies, for example 40/60, has a company and counts for both.
If the project has more than one company, KOSMA marks money without a company in the rail with  under **Linked Sources**, on the budget line, the financing plan line or both. The icon appears in every view, **Combined Producers** included. When you point at it on the budget line, KOSMA shows:
{number} accounts have no company, so {amount} is hidden unless you view Combined Producers
On the financing plan line, KOSMA shows:
{number} sources have no company, so {amount} is hidden unless you view Combined Producers
To bring this money into a company's view, give the account or the source a company in the budget or the financing plan.
