How to Use It
1
Enter your cash accounts
Open Snapshot and add each bank account with its balance. The statement runs a balance forward from what you enter here, so an incomplete account list produces a closing balance and a runway that are directionally right and absolutely wrong.
2
Run the cash forecast
Use Run Forecast in the page header. The month picker defaults to the version’s shared forecast window, the same window headcount and expense use. The run reads your plan lines, resolves a payment lag for each, and writes the forecast rows the statement reads.
3
Check the timing
Every plan line lands in the statement some number of months after it was incurred. Timing is where you see which rule decided that, and change it. A payroll line usually pays in the month it accrues, a vendor invoice on thirty or sixty day terms does not.
4
Adjust what the model cannot know
A negotiated payment holiday, a customer who always pays late, a one-off receipt: put the first two on Adjustments and the third on Scheduled Events. Both flow into the statement without touching the underlying plan.
What the Statement Shows
The Overview statement has two views, switched with the Direct / Indirect control. The direct view lists cash lines as money actually moving, grouped into inflow and outflow, and runs the balance forward:
The indirect view rebuilds the same operating cash from the P&L, starting at net income, adding back depreciation, and applying the working capital change. Both views resolve to the same operating cash figure, so a gap between them is a data problem rather than a rounding artifact.
The KPI Strip
How Timing Resolves
A cash line can have several rules that could apply to it, so the resolver works in a fixed order and shows you which stage won:1
Version override
A timing override set on this budget version for a specific combination of cash line, entity, vendor, client, or region.
2
The rule library
Every rule whose scope matches, ranked by priority first and specificity second. Priority outranks scope level, so a rule with a nonzero priority beats a narrower rule below it.
3
The cash line default
The default lag profile set on the cash line itself.
4
No lag
Cash moves in the month of the accrual.
Scoped library rules are being rolled out per workspace. The default lag on each cash line applies everywhere today, so if a scoped rule you authored has not changed the statement yet, that rollout is the reason.
Adjustments and Recurring Rules
Every row on the Adjustments grid is one statement line in one month, with three amounts:
The Source column says whether an adjustment was typed on this page or generated by a recurring rule. A rule owns its rows as a set, so a rule-generated cell cannot be edited month by month. Change the rule, or delete it and type the months by hand.
Actuals and Forecast in One Statement
Once a month closes and its real movements are recorded, the statement serves actuals for that month and the forecast for every month after it. You never see a closed month showing a plan you have already outgrown. The view control switches between that blend, Actuals Only, and Plan Only when you want to compare them.Locking a budget version freezes its cash statement. A locked version refuses a recalculation and rejects edits to adjustments and timing, so a published cash plan cannot be restated underneath the people reading it. Unlock the version to change it.
Cash Flow is enabled per workspace. If the module is not in your Planning nav, ask your administrator to turn it on.
