FORECAST
Choose which income items and expense categories are available as active assumptions in your cash flow forecast.
4 min readBEFORE YOU START
MoniTrak uses your existing income items and expense categories as forecast sources. You decide which ones should be included.
Income items can provide sources for expected inflows
Expense categories can provide sources for expected outflows
Each source can be included or left out independently
Reference amounts provide context but do not replace the forecast settings you configure
STEP BY STEP
From the Cash Flow Forecast page, open Settings to manage the sources available to your forecast.
Forecast Settings separates existing income items and expense categories so you can decide which expected inflows and outflows should participate.
Existing income items can be configured as sources of expected forecast inflows.
Existing expense categories can be configured as sources of expected forecast outflows.
Select Include in Forecast when you want a source's configured forecast assumption to contribute future cash movements.
Its configured forecast assumption can now contribute expected outflows.
Clear Include in Forecast when a source should not currently contribute expected movements to the forecast.
Leaving a source out of the forecast does not remove the underlying income item or expense category from MoniTrak.
Forecast Settings may show an existing planning or budget amount beside a source. This helps provide context while you configure the forecast.
The reference amount can help you configure the forecast, but it does not automatically determine the amount used by the forecast assumption.
Refresh sources updates Forecast Settings from the income items and expense categories currently available in your workspace.
Use Refresh sources when you want Forecast Settings to reflect the sources currently available in your workspace.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Choosing a source determines whether its configured assumption can contribute expected cash movements. The amount and timing are managed separately.
Inclusion controls whether the source participates in Forecast. Guide 03 explains how to configure the independent forecast amount and timing.
