Clients & Profits | Visual Feature Guide | Cash Flow Snapshot Reports

To update today’s balances

Cash flow reports can select unpaid invoices for any range of pay dates. An invoice’s pay date can be edited anytime, even if it is posted. Since cash flow reports only show unpaid client or vendor invoices, they don’t include any payment not posted into A/P or A/R. Your rent check, for example, won’t appear on the cash flow report unless the landlord’s invoice is added into Accounts Payable.

1 Choose Snapshots > Cash Flash.

The Cash>Flash window opens.

2 Click the Update button.

Clients & Profits adds up the current bank balances from the G/L accounts marked with a cash flow category as Cash, the vendor balances from the A/P aging, and the client balances from the A/R aging. Today’s payments and checks are calculating the day’s posted client payments and checked.

To send today's cash flash via e-mail

From the Cash Flash window, click the Email button. The Cash Flash can be sent to any active staff member. You’ll be prompted to select a staff member’s name, then enter a note (which is added to the body of the e-mail message). The cash flash can also be cc’d to two additional e-mail addresses.

Since the shop’s account balances are highly confidential, be careful to only send the cash flash to an authorized staff member.

To add a cash flow calendar entry

1 From the Cash Flash window, click the add button.

If the entry is for a payment (cash out) the amount needs to be entered as a negative amount.

To repeat a scheduled cash flash entry

Cash flash entries can be scheduled to repeat many times. To repeat an entry, select it in the Cash Flash window then click the Repeat button. The Repeat Entry dialog box opens, prompting you to enter the repeat interval (i.e., the number of days between entries), the number of times when the entry should be repeated, and when the scheduled entries should start. These entries only affect the Cash Flash window and report, and have no affect on A/P, A/R, or the General Ledger. They’re simple reminders for better cash management.

The daily cash position is a record of how much cash your business has at the end of any given day. You can use a daily cash position to get a quick look at the overall health of the business, as well as track significant patterns within sales and expenses. C&P is an ideal program to track your business's daily cash position.
