Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently there is no way to discount a Recurring expenditure. The capabilities are all the ones in the Capex cash flow model ( we would need a sort of a recurring "Capex" expenditure).
For example, in the lifetime of the project there might be expenditure that might be "recurrent" (e.g. every month I buy gasoline for my car), that have the possibility to be discounted.
Describe the solution you'd like
The possibility to have "recurrent" Capex expenditure or recurring with discounting strategy.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Use the <Repetitions>xxx</Repetitions> and create a new component to "mimic" the recurrent expenditure
