Column/Field Explanations
Example Accounts: A listing of the types of cash
flow items recommended for the current section.
Inflow Description: The description you want to
appear on the Cash Flow Report.
# of Pmts Per Year: Enter the number of times per
year you typically pay or receive the given cash flow. If you typically
pay your electric bill once per month, you would enter "12"
as the # of Pmts Per Year. On the other hand, if you typically pay your
auto insurance once every six months, you would enter "2" as
the # of Pmts Per Year.
Amt of Each Pmt: Enter the average amount of the
cash flow as it corresponds to the # of Pmts Per Year. In other words,
if you make two payments of $200 for auto insurance each year, you would
enter "2" in the # of Pmts Per Year field and "200"
in the Amt of Each Payment field.
Monthly Amount: This is a computed field that calculates
the monthly amount needed to be set aside for the given cash flow account.
Upon clicking on the "Compute..." button the underlying equation
divides the # of Pmts Per Year entry by 12, and then divides the Amt of
Each Pmt by that result. For example, if you make two payments of $600
each year, the Monthly Amount field will give a result of "100"
as the amount you'll need to set aside each month in order to have the
$600 available when the payment comes due
. Balance Forward: This is a computed field that
will show you how much of your cash inflow total is still available for
allocation. If this number is negative, it means you've allocated more
outflows than the total of your inflows. |
