In plain words: The bank balance is fine today. Will it still be fine in three weeks, after payroll and the supplier payments, when two big customers have not paid yet? Cash Flow Forecast answers in Odoo Community: it starts from the cash you hold, adds the open customer invoices and subtracts the open vendor bills on their due dates, adds your own expected items, and gives you the balance week by week (or month by month), flagged when it falls under your minimum.

The forecast week by week, the balance as a graph, and the printable forecast.

Tip: The forecast is built from your real open items: pay or collect an invoice and compute again.

Create a forecast

In plain words: Open Accounting → Reporting → Management → Cash flow forecast and click New. Choose the starting date, weeks or months and the number of periods, a minimum balance if you want the alert, then Compute.

The forecast: receipts, payments, net and balance of each period.

Fixed opening balance	Type the opening cash yourself instead of reading it from the bank and cash journals.
Open customer invoices / vendor bills / my expected items	Switch each source on or off.
Overdue items	Count them in the first period, or show them on their own line.
Only these partners	Limit the open items to some customers and vendors.
Minimum balance	Periods under it are red and the forecast gets a ribbon.

Your own expected items

In plain words: On the Expected items tab add what is not on an invoice or a bill yet: a positive amount is money in, a negative one is money out.

Expected items: payroll, an advance, an insurance, a tax payment.

Read the forecast

Column	Meaning
Period / To	The first and the last day of the period.
Receipts	Open customer invoices due in the period, plus your expected money in.
Payments	Open vendor bills due in the period, plus your expected money out.
Net	Receipts minus payments.
Balance	The balance at the end of the period: the opening cash plus all the nets so far.

In plain words: The magnifier opens the invoices and bills of the period. Lowest balance and the date it happens are shown at the top.
