Cash Flow
You know how to view the cash flow of a single company, and why money can be missing from it.
If several companies are involved in your production, for example in a co-production, you can view the cash flow plan of each company on its own. You then see when that company spends money and when it receives money. **Combined Producers** shows all companies together, which is the whole production.
You choose the view in the rail under **Producer**. **Combined Producers** comes first, followed by each company of the budget. Companies you have hidden in the budget are not listed. If the budget has only one visible company or none, **Producer** is greyed out, because there is nothing to choose. If the plan takes its expenses from a cost control set with its own companies, the list shows the companies of that set.
The heading above the chart and the grid names the view, for example **Cash Flow (EUR) - Combined Producers**. A printed plan names it in its header. KOSMA saves the view with the plan, and a new plan starts on **Combined Producers**. If you can only read a plan, you cannot change the view.
In a company's view, the whole plan shows only that company's money: the chart, every row, and the **Before** and **After** columns, which hold the money before and after the period shown. KOSMA assigns money to companies like this:
- **Expenses from the budget:** if an account is split between several companies, each company gets its own part. An account that belongs 40 % to company A and 60 % to company B counts 40 % for A and 60 % for B. - **Sources from the financing plan:** a source counts in full for its company. If it pays in installments, each installment can have a different company. An installment without a company of its own counts for the company of its source. - **Taxes:** the tax on an amount counts for the same company as the amount.
You set up credits and transfers in the rail. A credit belongs to one company and appears only in its view. A transfer is money that one company pays to another. The paying company sees it as an expense, the receiving company as income. **Combined Producers** shows every credit and both sides of every transfer. The two sides cancel out, so a transfer does not change any total there.
If an account in the budget or a source in the financing plan has no company, its money appears in no company's view. Only **Combined Producers** shows it.
To make sure you notice this money, KOSMA shows a warning mark  as soon as the project has more than one company. The mark sits in the rail under **Linked Sources**: on the budget line if accounts have no company, and on the financing plan line if sources have no company. It appears in every view. When you point at it, KOSMA shows the number and the amount:
{number} accounts have no company, so {amount} is hidden unless you view Combined Producers
On the financing plan line, the message says **sources** instead of **accounts**.
To bring the money into a company's view, give it a company. For an account, see [split costs between companies](/kb/article/split-costs-between-companies). For a source, see [assign a company to a source](/kb/article/assign-a-company-to-a-source). If money is missing for another reason, for example because an account has no cash flow rule, see [why something is missing from the plan](/kb/article/why-something-is-missing-from-the-plan).
