The 13-week forecast does not update from my invoices

The cash plan is a separate manual forecast of expected receipts and payments.

Steps

  1. Enter opening cash and the expected receipts and outgoing payments for each week.
  2. Include obligations such as payroll, materials and other commitments in your own plan.
  3. Use Save cash plan to calculate the baseline and stressed cash balances.
  4. The shortfall percentage reduces forecast receipts only. It does not change the expense assumptions.
  5. Updating an invoice or job does not rewrite the plan. Review your forecast regularly as expectations change.

Check that it worked

Opening $5,000, week-one receipts $1,000 and payroll $500 gives baseline $5,500; with 20% receipts shortfall, stressed cash is $5,300.

If this example differs, report a calculation issue. Forecast balances are estimates, not a bank feed or a tax estimate.
