Calculation method

Calculation method

Released commitments ($)

Sum unique release amounts.

Ceiling less commitments, signed ($)

Authorized ceiling−release commitments; negative exposes overcommitment.

Commitments less recorded invoices, signed ($)

Release commitments−matched invoice amounts; negative exposes invoicing beyond the supplied commitment total.

Recorded invoices less cash paid, signed ($)

Invoice total−entered cash paid; a negative value can represent an advance rather than an unpaid amount.

Ceiling less cash paid, signed ($)

Ceiling−cash paid, kept separate from uncommitted budget.
