Cash forecasts starts from a saved posted cash balance and adds your future receipt and payment assumptions. The result is a projection. Confirm the company's recorded cash evidence before using it as the baseline for a planning decision.
- Open Cash forecasts for the company and choose New forecast.
- Enter Forecast name, Posted cash through and Forecast months.
- Add the future cash assumptions and a Reason for this version.
- Review the complete forecast, confirm the baseline and assumptions, then save the version.
Saving checks the posted cash evidence again. If the books or cash accounts changed after the preview, prepare a new preview instead of approving the old figures. The saved version retains the baseline and assumptions used at that time.
The baseline comes from posted Institution ledger entries. It does not independently certify bank reconciliation or complete opening balances. Review those separately when the forecast will inform payments, funding or other consequential decisions.
