Understand funding
Starts with
Funded advance, register unchanged
Ends with
Debt and cash read apart
Funding records the guide's debt. When the money leaves depends on how the advance was funded.
Someone compares a Funded advance with the registers.
Always in USD and always in full. This is the key moment of the journey.
The funding creates the payout.
That payment is a normal bill payment and never changes the guide's debt.
Funding links the advance to that payout instead of paying again.
Owns money movement, registers, and reconciliation.
Reads the commercial picture and escalates exceptions.
The request, how the money left, and the guide's debt before and after.
Why: Record what the guide owes without counting money twice.
Guide debt on one asset account, never as an expense.
Why: Know what guides owe and what cash really left.
Every advance moves a register at most once, whichever way it is funded.
