Future cash assumptions describe receipts and payments expected after the forecast baseline. Choose the appropriate direction for each assumption and enter the amount and timing shown by the editor. These values are planning inputs and do not move money or post accounting transactions.
Use a description that makes each assumption traceable to a contract, schedule or explicit planning decision. Check its start, any optional end and repeat settings so the amount appears in the intended future months. A recurring assumption can materially change the projection if its interval is wrong.
Review the complete forecast after editing. Compare the monthly Receipts and Payments with the schedule you intended, especially around the first and last applicable periods. Do not assume a saved amount is recognized only once if a repeat pattern has been selected.
If an expected payment is uncertain, describe that uncertainty in the version's assumptions rather than presenting it as a confirmed bank movement. Preserve separate scenarios when alternative timing or amounts need comparison, and keep the recorded cash baseline unchanged unless the posted source itself changed.
