A transaction layer on the existing model

Choose a forecast year and scenario, then enter the transaction amount. Enabled transactions compile into temporary commands for the existing model engine; they do not create a separate accounting calculation. They remain identifiable and can be disabled. A removed target period leaves the transaction unresolved.

Transaction assumptions are explicit

The equipment transaction uses year-end timing and a five-year life. Borrowing and repayment events also use the selected year end. These are the assumptions of this transaction tool, not the full range of asset or loan schedule functionality. Collection and repayment respect available receivables and debt.

Trace a financed investment

Add financed equipment and inspect the investing outflow, financing inflow, closing asset and debt balances. Later years show depreciation and interest through the same model. Remove or disable the transaction to compare with the original scenario.
