A cash flow forecast is an estimation of how much cash the business will have, or need at any point during a chosen period. It acts as a guide, allowing you to plan ahead and prepare for the future.
To help you determine when an invoice will be paid, you can use the default payment days entry on your customer and supplier records. Using this information, you can forecast the money coming in and out of your business for any given period and the difference between the two.
When running a cash flow forecast, you might also want to include additional information which isn't currently held in TASBooks. Even though you may not be ready to enter the actual transactions into TASBooks, you can include the expected values in your projected forecast, to give you a realistic picture of the cash available to your business.
When you click the Breakdown tab, the following information appears for both your Cash flow in and Cash flow out.
