Cash Flow

[akhtar]

Can anyone tell me how to make a cash flow. Below is the project parameters that are as follows:

Project Type: Construction (Interior fitout) of Retail Store.
Store Size: Approximately 5000 Sq.mtrs. distributed equally at 3 levels (Ground floor, First Floor, Second Floor)
Project Duration: approximately 100 days.

I have got different activities that are outsourced to different contracting companies like Hvac, Electrical, fixturing, Carpentry, etc contractors. All cost of each activity is worked from a detailed BOQ which then sums up to a contract value. For instance, the contract value of Electrical work is 1k dollars. So, my question will be how to add the following payment terms for electrical contractor in MSP:

Advance Payment before work start : 30%. Say, 300 dollars
Running bill Payments as the work progresses: 40%. Say, 400 dollars
Final bill payment after work completion: 30%. Say, 300 dollars.

Thanks for any help.

It seems that you are the prime contractor and others are sub contractors, but when you say "contract value" do you mean your cost, that is, your subbies price to you, instead of your price to the client. Microsoft Project is about your Cost. How you select to model and accrue the cost for your model is a completely different problem to how you actually pay the subbies, though that can be modeled as well.
