Monthly release and remaining balance

Release follows inclusive contract dates. The review horizon is a prospective extension of the remaining service, measured after the selected month.

Release planning

Keep current month-end carrying value unchanged. Spread it prospectively over original unexpired days plus an agreed extension. This is an illustrative noncash schedule, without refunds or impairment.

Release calendar

Release follows inclusive contract dates. The review horizon is a prospective extension of the remaining service, measured after the selected month.

Move between the decision views

The analytical views include Dashboard, Release planning, Release calendar. Start with the overview, then use the relevant driver, register or scenario view to explain a difference. Keep the reporting context consistent when comparing an amount with its source or another operating unit.

How to adapt the dashboard

Start with the short How to worksheet, which identifies the inputs, selectors and result views for this dashboard. Keep an unchanged copy of the sample before replacing its data. Enter your source values in the highlighted cells, review one reporting selection and reconcile a headline amount to your records. Change a material driver and check the result in its labelled unit. A decision assumption describes a modelled case; it does not replace the observed source figures.

Understand the calculation basis

One fixed-price contract per unit. Keep its terms consistent across monthly rows. Reversed dates suppress calculated dollar amounts. Keep current month-end carrying value unchanged. Spread it prospectively over original unexpired days plus an agreed extension. This is an illustrative noncash schedule, without refunds or impairment.
