Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Yes Right. If we have Subcontractor there monthly invoice would be consideed in Cash Outflow.

But in General you are the Contractor (You have the Manpower to do all the work - No Subcontractor is needed).

So if Contractor were to plot a Cash Flow what all things would you consider in the Cash Outflow apart from what has been listed down.

 

Warm Regards

The same is applicable for cash outflow. If you have subcontractors.

Hi Elvin,

Yes that would be recorded as Cash Inflow like - Invoice Amount, Advance Payment Incoming, Advance Payment Decution from Invoice, Deduction of Retention and Incoming of Retention everything as per the Contract.

 

But for Cash Outflow can you mention something which has not been listed in the First Post.

I'd say main things here are: advance payment %, retention and recovery of advance payment terms.
