FORECAST
Configure the independent amount, frequency and timing that determine when an included forecast source creates expected cash movements.
5 min readBEFORE YOU START
The source identifies what you are forecasting. Its forecast settings determine the amount and when expected movements appear.
Forecast Amount sets the expected cash amount
Frequency controls how often the movement repeats
Forecast From determines when the assumption begins
Expected Day controls the expected day of the month
End Date can stop the assumption after a chosen date
STEP BY STEP
In Forecast Settings, select Edit beside an income item or expense category to open its forecast assumption.
Enter the amount you expect this source to contribute each time its forecast movement occurs.
The forecast amount is configured independently. A reference amount does not automatically determine it.
Frequency determines how often the configured amount is expected to occur after the forecast begins.
Forecast From establishes the date from which this assumption can begin contributing expected movements.
For a monthly assumption, Expected Day determines the day of the month on which the expected cash movement is placed.
Forecast places the movement on that month's final day when the selected day does not exist.
If the selected day does not exist in a particular month, Forecast uses that month's final day.
Use the optional End Date when the forecast assumption should stop after a known period. Leave it empty when no end date is needed.
Keep Include in Forecast selected when you want the configured assumption to participate, then save your changes.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Once saved and included, Forecast uses the amount and timing you configured to place expected cash movements across the forecast period.
If the expected amount will change later, keep this base assumption and add a future amount change instead of rewriting the earlier period.
