The cashflow module allows organisations to forecast the expected monetary inflows and outflows to assist them in managing their cashflow.
The module is divided into three sections:
A detailed cashflow forecast report for the next eight weeks.
A summary cashflow forecast report for the next eight weeks.
Cashflow transactions where users can enter running costs, loan repayments, and other non-trading cash outflows. Users may create a single transaction, or a transaction for every type of activity (e.g. weekly costs, monthly costs, loan repayments, capital expenditure).
Navigation Example: Main Menu > Accounting > Cashflow Transactions
