Summary Tab
The Summary tab of the Cash flow forecast module consists of three sections, green, red, and yellow, and provides you with the basic cash flow information.
Contents
If you want to exclude specific cash income or expense types from a cash flow forecast, clear the check boxes for those income or expense types. WorkBook automatically updates the forecast. For example, you may want to exclude price quotes with statuses of 20 and 40 because they are yet to be approved by clients.
The following rows display the system-calculated cash income. You cannot change the values in these rows.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Incoming payment, not due | Refers to account receivables that are not due yet. |
| Overdue incoming payments | Refers to past due account receivables. |
| Subscription | If you use the Subscription billing submodule of the Finance module under Settings, WorkBook calculates the expected income from future billings. |
| Price Quotes approved internal (40) | Refers to the price quotes on all the planned jobs in Workbook with a status of 40 (approved internally). |
| Price Quotes approved internal (50) | Refers to the price quotes on all the planned jobs in Workbook with a status of 50 (approved externally). |
| Price quotes for approval (20) | Refers to the price quotes on all the planned jobs in Workbook with a status of 20 (for approval). |
WorkBook derives the values in the price quotes fields above from the billing plan on the individual price quotes. Depending on the price quote settings, in the Jobs module, the VAT and sales tax amounts are included in the forecast numbers.
The following rows display the system-calculated cash expenses. You cannot change the values in these rows.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Outgoing payments | Refers to account payables. |
| Non-posted vouchers | Refers to creditor vouchers (invoices) currently in the workflow and yet to be posted. |
| Open purchase orders | Refers to purchase orders that await invoices from creditors. |
Depending on the supplier settings in the Resources module, the VAT and sales tax amounts are included in the forecast numbers for non-posted vouchers and open purchase orders.
This section contains user-defined fields to account for additional changes in the cash flow. For example, you can create fields to account for expenses on rent and employee salaries.
You must first create the cost types on the Cost type setup tab of the Cash Flow Forecast module before creating a cash flow forecast.
