  • Inflow or Outflow: Indicates money coming in or going out.

  • Amount:

    • Inflow: Displayed in green. Increases your cash balance (e.g., +1000€).

    • Outflow: Displayed in red. Decreases your cash balance (e.g., -1000€)

    • Inflow reversed: Displayed in purple. Decreases your cash balance.

    • Outflow reversed: Displayed in purple. Increases your cash balance.

  • Currency: Based on the associated bank account.

  • Payment Date:

    • Paid Transactions: Date is in the past or current day.

    • Expected Transactions: Date is current or future.

  • Billing Date: For expected transactions.

Editing the Payment Date

You can edit the payment date for both expected and paid transactions to correct or adjust your cash flow planning.

For Expected Transactions

    • Select the transaction.

    • Use the Payment expected on date selector to choose a new date.

  2. From the Late Transactions Page in the Expected Transactions Tab:

    • Directly edit the Payment expected on date in the transaction list.

  3. Bulk Actions from the Search Page:

How Changing the Date Affects Cash Balances

🔄 Adjusting a transaction's payment date can impact your cash balances:

  • Same Period: If the new date falls within the same time period (offset), your cash balances remain unchanged.

  • Different Period: If the new date moves the transaction to a different period, the cash balances will reflect this change, impacting forecasts and planning.

How Changing the Date Affects the Cashflow Table

Similarly, changing the payment date can affect the values in your cashflow table:

  • Same Period: No changes in the table values.

  • Different Period: The transaction amounts will shift to the new period, updating your cashflow projections accordingly.

How to Undo This Action

If you need to revert the payment date change:

  • For Synchronized Transactions:

    • Open the transaction details.

    • Click on Display original payment date to restore the initial date.

  • For Other Transactions:

    • Use the Edit payment date option to manually reset the date to the original.

💡 Tips

  • Keep Records Accurate: Regularly review and adjust payment dates to maintain precise cashflow projections.

  • Bulk Editing: Save time by using bulk actions when updating multiple transactions.

  • Monitor Late Transactions: Use the Late Transactions page to manage and update overdue expected payments.
