Cashflow reporting is an updated version of the old cashflow reporting. Unlike in the old cashflow reporting, the new reporting offers the information in real time from Procountor's database and improves usability. Both the old and the new cashflow report will function side by side for a while.
Cashflow report can be used to observe the balances of bank accounts from the perspectives of past, present and future. The report is also able to forecast the future cash flows from Procountor’s future transactions that have not yet created actual cash processes.
The Cashflow report is found in Reports > Cashflow reporting.
