Financing Sources
Financing sources represent where the money for your construction project comes from. Each source has a total amount, and Cornerstone tracks how much of each source has been depleted based on actual invoice costs.
Examples
- Construction Loan -- $250,000
- Savings -- $50,000
- Family Loan -- $20,000
Creating a Financing Source
Navigate to Budget > Financing Sources in the sidebar. Click New Source and provide:
- Name -- A descriptive label (e.g., "Construction Loan")
- Total Amount -- The total amount available from this source
Depletion Tracking
Each financing source displays how much has been spent. Depletion is calculated from the actual cost of invoices linked to budget lines that use this source:
- Invoiced amounts are summed to show how much of the source has been used
- A progress bar shows the percentage depleted
- The remaining balance updates automatically as invoices are added
This gives you a clear picture of how much funding remains in each source.
Managing Sources
From the financing sources page you can:
- Edit a source's name or total amount
- Delete a source that is no longer needed
caution
Deleting a financing source will fail if any budget lines reference it. Reassign or remove those budget lines first.
