Linked Model cash sources

Trace standard 13W cash lines to operating sources and distinguish cash baselines from the economic cohorts used by timing rules.

Linked cash is the starting reconciliation

Linked model uses the selected scenario’s existing weekly cash amounts. Customer Collections reflects Model collection/AR behavior; Suppliers / AP reflects supplier cash; Taxes and Capex use their corresponding payments. Other Operating Receipts/Disbursements and Other Receipts/Disbursements carry the remaining signed cash effects so the unmodified plan reconciles. They are not necessarily zero or discretionary blank lines.

Profiles use economic source weeks

A Timing Profile replaces linked cash timing with a distribution of economic weekly cohorts. Collections use Revenue, while supplier profiles use the selected purchases/COGS/AP mapping. It is therefore possible for a profile’s total to differ from the linked cash baseline, particularly when opening AR/AP affects collections or payments. Compare Model baseline, Timing baseline and Operational value rather than assuming a profile simply relabels the original cash numbers.

Business Lines and Personnel

Active detailed Revenue Business Lines create collection sublines. Linked collection cash is allocated using weekly revenue shares because the Model’s AR balance is aggregate. A profile then uses the selected line’s own revenue. Payroll comes from active detailed Personnel sources; payroll already contained in COGS is removed from supplier cohorts to avoid duplicate classification. Supplier and payroll planning explains independent payroll when no Personnel source exists.

Locked financing sources

Interest, Debt Repayment, Facility Draws and Facility Repayments are derived from financing, not ordinary editable cash assumptions. With Financing active, the plan uses its contracts and recalculates operational debt service as funding changes. Without it, linked existing Model debt movements remain part of the baseline, but no committed facilities are invented. Go to source opens the relevant Model source or Financing operator, carrying the date and Business Line where applicable.

Source resolution and operational independence

Weekly linked amounts use the Model’s actual source resolution and allocation; viewing them weekly does not create independent weekly operating assumptions. Manual Weekly and Dated Payments instead own their values in the plan. If a linked source disappears, saved dependent inputs are identified for review. Independent copied lines can remain as detached plan lines. This is not invoice aging or an automatic reconciliation to bank statements.
