Cash movement by source
| Payments (net out) | 130,674.00 |
| Receipts (net in) | 91,800.00 |
Algorithm: For each payment voucher, cash out = |bank leg|, allocated across non-bank Dr lines proportionally. For receipts, cash in = |bank leg| across non-bank Cr lines. Non-bank Cr in payments (TDS Payable accrual, discount received) and non-bank Dr in receipts (TDS Receivable, discount given) are non-cash offsets and ignored — they don't represent cash movement. Journals are processed line-by-line by each ledger's own nature — so a journal like Dr Laptop / Cr Partner Capital lands as Investing outflow + Financing inflow (reimbursement for partner's capex), and Dr Office Rent / Cr Partner Capital lands as Operating outflow + Financing inflow (opex reimbursement).

(no bank/cash leg and no capital leg — pure accounting adjustments)
A journal voucher only contributes to Direct Cash Flow if it has a bank/cash leg (real cash moved) OR a capital/drawings leg (partner paid personally for firm expense — cash moved out of partner's pocket, represented via capital). Everything else is a book entry with no cash event — e.g. bad-debt writeoffs, contra adjustments between debtor & vendor, credit purchases, accruals, GST setoffs, forex revaluation.
