Expected income and cash flow
The expected income view on the Schedule & deadlines tab projects the grant money you are due to receive, month by month, alongside what has already arrived.

Where the projection comes from
Each grant contributes through exactly one of three sources, in strict order of preference. The first one that applies is used and the others are ignored.
Because a grant only ever contributes through one source, classifying a legacy milestone as a payment moves it between sources without changing the total. Setting up a proper schedule refines the projection rather than double-counting it.
Requirements never contribute to expected income, even if a legacy amount is still sitting on one. What you owe a funder is not money you are due.
Reading the receipts column
How firmly "received" is known depends on the source:
- A payment installment reports exactly what has been allocated against it — reconciled donation by donation.
- An untyped milestone has no reconciliation available, so a closed milestone is read as received in full and an open one as nothing received. Nothing is invented to fill the gap. This is the strongest reason to set up a real payment schedule on your larger awards.
