Where the revenue goes
Remainder is revenue less listed costs, not net profit or cash. Taxes and unlisted costs are not modeled.
The receivables bridge
Receipts include $600 against older invoices. Revenue and cash received are different measures.
One exception worth seeing.
Invoice O901 has a $150 open balance, six days overdue at October 11. The remaining $1,180 is current. An illustrative follow-up priority, not a real collection instruction.
