Feature request - EARN or SELL income wanted

vicky

The view shows in the time phased boxes the approved budget. The income was entered in the base costs.
To show the income in the time phased boxes, you need to select the planned based costs subtotals as content.

Update :
Any idea how to force black instead of orange or red?

vicky

Merlin Project color codes rows with conflicts.
Strong conflicts show in red
Weak in orange.

The Symbol in the traits column indicates the conflict additionally. In your case it is a 'weak' conflict.
Do you want to handle the conflict? Or ignore it?

Hi,
Thank you for fast reply.

Actually I need to input some negative values (here a discount) but generally it is some cash in.
And negative values seems not managed and text goes red. I would at least to remove red police.

Olivier

Hi,

Finally find a way of remove the red and orange police !
My wish list lost one item!

Olivier

Hi All,

Any opportunity " cash in / cash out " management to come as a feature?

Frank Blome

I am late in this discussion, but if you think outside the box try the Budget feature on the Costs tab for an activity.
Make sure you entere the value in the field Approved Budget, Merlin will take this as a kind of a new income.

Does this work?

Frank Blome

I think it could. I made a quick'n'dirty test case and to me it looks fine. You can download the project from here.

Olivier

HI,

Not sure to understand what you mean.
Currently, I use attachments to which I assign a cost for invoices received.

If I enter a value in the “actual amount” field, it's the same thing.
The problem is that I have to enter a negative value for an income so that the additions or subtractions can be made.

Frank Blome

For the expenses, I did the same. In my example I attached at #2 and #6 attachment costs.
As for the income side, I gave the Phases (#1 and #4) a Budget and this could be seen as an income. You can add a Budget to any activity or group.

Understood.
Seems a bit weird to me but you give me some ideas I need to test.
The ultimate goal is to be able to create a “dynamic” financial exchange, and it seems that I may have found a workaround. A fully integrated feature would be absolutely fantastic. 😛

Frank Blome

I'll think about it.
