Reading the cash forecast
Example — You want to know whether the balance holds until the end of the quarter if a client pays late.
Steps
- In Cash, Settings block, enter today's bank balance and its date.
- Add your planned expenses (rent, charges, subscriptions) as entered flows, monthly if needed.
- Compare the three scenarios: base, late-paying clients, unexpected expense.
- Edit a flow (amount or date) when you have better information: the previous value stays in the history.
- Review the suggested options (deposit, invoice, reminder, postponement) and act from the link.
Expected result
The low point and the balance at thirteen weeks are shown per scenario; weeks below the threshold are flagged.
If it fails
Without an opening balance the projection starts from zero: the bank balance is never invented.
