Project or Shell Level Cash Flow Worksheet Details Section

The cash flow details on the right, which you can open by using the split screen icon (icon with three vertical dots), or slider, lets you see cash flow details related to your project life cycle (iteration by iteration) and corresponding cumulative cost (total expenditures from all sources).

Note: Use the Expand or Dock icons (upper-right corner) to maximize or to adjust the cash flow detail pane (All Curves) screen for better visibility.

The cash flow details is presented through a table in the right pane shows the data for the curves. Each row of the table corresponds to one of the curves on the graph and displays the curve data in columns. The data in these columns show the distribution of cost, and the total of cost is the value in the Total field.

If you are doing an auto distribution by using a distribution profile, then the values in these columns will be calculated based on the distribution percentages.
If you are doing a manual distribution, then you will enter the values into each time period (distributing the amount in the Total column).

The Unassigned column will display how much of the amount in the Total column is left to be distributed.

The following table describes each column in detail.

Note: The system displays the cost data using the latest exchange rate table.

Curve Data Column Name	Description
Color	The color of the graph displays in the first column
Name	The name of curve, taken from the Data Source. You can click the curve name to view the detail window of the curve.
Currency	The currency for the curve.
From Date	The starting point of the curve. This can be entered manually or taken from a date field on the project/shell master schedule sheet, as defined in the curve properties.
To Date	The ending point of the curve, also manually entered or pulled from the schedule sheet. This can be entered manually or taken from the schedule sheet.
Total	This amount is the cost portion of the curve. It can be pulled from a specified cost sheet column or business process. This total amount will then be distributed over the time period (From Date to To Date) to generate the cash flow curve. This is defined in the curve properties.
Unassigned	Any amount left over from the Total amount that has not yet been distributed.
Time Period Columns	These are the incremental time periods for the duration of the cash flow time period. That is, the From Date to the To Date, entered above. For monthly distribution, these will display each month and year from the From Date to the To Date. If shown Yearly, then each period is one year.

The following explains the options that are available within the cash flow detail pane for Detail Curves and Summary Curves.
