Understand the cash-flow forecast

In short

Forecast combines active payment promises with open invoices. A promise covers nearest invoices first; uncovered balance remains projected on invoice due dates. For a scheduled invoice, each remaining installment keeps its own date. This view supports cash planning but does not certify payment or its actual date.

Expected result

You know which amounts rely on a promise and which come only from open due dates.

Before you start

• Review active promises and schedules for material accounts.
• Choose a horizon matching the cash-planning need.

Procedure

1. Open Management > Forecast and select the horizon.
2. Separate promise-based lines from projected amounts.
3. Open an account to check invoice, date, currency, and source commitment.
4. For a schedule, verify each uncovered installment.
5. Refresh the scenario after payment, new promise, or invoice change.

What Billabex does

Calculation applies promises to nearest receivables and spreads the rest over live due dates. It resolves names only for accounts present in the result to keep the query bounded.

If the result is not what you expected

• A vague or undated promise may not enter a precise bucket.
• An unsynchronized payment temporarily remains expected.
• Do not combine currencies outside an explicitly converted view.
