This table is to help you trace where the values displayed in the summary are derived from. This will help you verify the summary information, which we hope helps you learn how to use this feature. Cash Outflow accounts for expense or cost while Cash Inflow accounts for revenue or benefits. When checking numbers, be sure to consider if you have applied a filter to the Data Source.

NOTE: For Cash Inflow that relies on task data sources, if the Task Billing Type is "Fixed Bid", the Forecast amount will be the same as the Budget amount. This is due to the nature of Fixed Bid, where Forecast (or estimated) revenue is treated the same as Budget revenue.
