Information about expected payments that may not be found in DC1, e.g., upcoming payrolls, loans to be paid off by instalments, and taxes, must be entered manually to give a complete overview of your cash flow forecast. Note: All expected incoming payments are shown as positive (+) values and all expected outgoing payments are shown as negative (-) values in the columns. This means that outgoing payments entered manually should also be entered as a negative amount.
- Follow steps 1-2 in Analyse the cash flow forecast.
- Highlight any line in the Calendar view and right-click. From the dropdown menu select Add Cash flow forecast value. A dialogue popup window is displayed:
- Cash flow forecast type
- Enter, or select from the dropdown menu, the type of expected payment.
