Project Administration
You know why a project moved from KOSMA 2 can show a different grand total, and what you rebuild yourself.
A project moved from KOSMA 2 keeps its accounts, its values and its structure. Three calculations work differently in this version, so the grand total can differ from the one you remember.
When you open a moved project, KOSMA can first show the dialog *What did not come across — {name}*. It lists what KOSMA could not carry over from KOSMA 2, such as a fringe dropped from a subaccount. KOSMA shows the dialog only on the computer that moved the project, and only for a project moved on or after 15 September 2026. The list does not name every change: the change to the fringe base described below is not on it.
If you tick **Do Not Show Again** and close the dialog, KOSMA no longer shows this list for any project on this computer, and you cannot open it again.
In KOSMA 2 you could choose what each fringe was calculated on, including the total of another fringe. This version has no such field: a fringe is calculated on the account total. One option changes that base: **Automatically add wage fringes to supplements** in **Fringes & Supplements** adds the account's supplement total to the base.
An account whose fringes were chained in KOSMA 2 therefore shows a lower total here. To reproduce the old figure, enter the extra percentage in the account's factor, in the **X** column of the budget grid. A holiday allowance (Ferienzulage) is the common case. See [apply fringes and supplements](/kb/article/apply-fringes-and-supplements).
When an account has subaccounts, you choose which of them the fringes cover, under **Apply to subaccounts** on the **Fringes** tab. The **Supplements** tab keeps a separate selection of its own. KOSMA 2 recorded the selection for each fringe group and each supplement group. An account whose groups covered different subaccounts arrives here with one selection for all groups: a subaccount stays selected only if every group of the account covered it.
The list described at the top of this article names each fringe and each supplement that KOSMA dropped from a subaccount.
Rules built on milestones or dates arrive complete and work without any edit from you.
KOSMA 2 could also build a rule from a process defined elsewhere in the project. This version has no processes, so each of those rules arrives as a rule on dates, with one entry per payment date of the process. Each entry carries the share of the total that KOSMA 2 assigned to that date. Only the name of the process is lost. The cash flow rules of financing sources arrive the same way. If such a rule does not add up to 100 %, it did not cover the whole total in KOSMA 2 either. Complete it in the **Set Cash Flow Rule** dialog. See [set a cash flow rule on an account](/kb/article/set-a-cashflow-rule-on-an-account).
A project moved before 3 October 2026 shows its process rules at 0 %. Ask support to move that project again.
In this version a recurring payment is a payment cycle. You set its period and its preset in the **Set Cash Flow Rule** dialog.
The cash flow plan lists the accounts that have no rule yet. See [find accounts without a cash flow rule](/kb/article/find-accounts-without-a-cash-flow-rule).
