Look beyond sales to money movement.
Use cash-flow reporting to understand recorded inflows and outflows for the selected period. Sales and available money answer different business questions.
Receipts and payments
Review account movements
Understand available funds
Cash movement explains liquidity, not just sales.
A business can show strong sales and still have little money available when customers buy on credit or cash is tied up in stock. Cash and bank movement review focuses on actual collections and outgoings, which helps explain the resources available for near-term payments.
Select the period, distinguish cash and bank accounts and inspect major receipts and payments. Compare collections with sales and supplier payments with purchases without assuming the dates must match. Use the supported cash-flow or cash/bank reports available in your edition.

Good questions.
Clear answers.
Choose the workflow that fits your business and confirm its setup in a demonstration.
Does a cash-flow view predict the future automatically?
A transaction-based view describes recorded movement. Planning future funds also needs expected collections, due payments and assumptions. Confirm any forecasting facility separately rather than reading a historical report as a prediction.
What setup should I confirm?
Review the report basis and included account groups with your accountant before relying on it for decisions.
