Cash Flow Planning and Tracking

Cash Flow: Planning and Tracking

Planning Mode

Click “Planning · N”, where the count shows the number of planned transactions, to add planned indicators to the chart:

• Upcoming Income and Upcoming Expenses are pale columns representing planned transactions whose dates have not yet arrived.
• Overdue Payments and Overdue Expenses are hatched columns representing transactions with the “Unpaid” status whose dates have already passed.
• Balance (Plan) is the expected remaining-funds line calculated using all planned transactions.

Planned data comes from transactions with the “Unpaid” status: transactions entered manually with a future date or generated from recurring templates. Their amounts are also totaled in the “Upcoming Transactions” summary in the left panel.

What This Lets You Do

• View planned and overdue incoming and outgoing payments for the current and previous months, allowing you to update statuses or remind counterparties about payment on time.
• Plan cash flow for future periods and the expected remaining funds, including identifying cash shortfalls in advance when the planned balance line falls below zero.
• Analyze net cash flow trends by month to understand which months the company closes with a surplus and which with a deficit.
• Do all of this selectively. Filters let you build the plan not only for the entire company but also for a specific project, bank account, or counterparty.

A similar planning mechanism is available for individual projects. In the financial section of a project page, you can enable “Planning” to view projected labor costs, planned client payments, and expected profitability before work begins. This is described in detail under Projects: Project Financial Planning.
