Impact of unpaid invoices and bills

An explanation of how unpaid invoices and bills can affect your forecasting in Futrli.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

If you’re using the forecasting option 3 year cash flow with due invoices, you’ll see an Invoices tab. This tab contains every due invoice, pulled in from your data source (Sage Accounting, Xero or QuickBooks Online).

You can create your own predictions in a 3 year cash flow with due invoices to build the cash flow forecast. You can also amend the expected payment dates of these due invoices. This ensures the cash flow forecast is as accurate as possible.

Invoices and bills in a 3 year cash flow with due invoices forecast.


Handling of due invoices

Whenever Futrli pulls fresh data from your data source (Sage Accounting, Xero or QuickBooks Online) it retrieves all unpaid invoices and bills.

Some invoices may not be due yet, so Futrli assumes you'll pay them on the due date pulled in from the data source.

For any invoices that are now overdue, Futrli assumes that the invoice will be paid today.

When first creating a 3 year cash flow with due invoices forecast, there may be many unpaid invoices and bills that Futrli has pulled through for the first time.

You have different options to manage your unpaid invoices from the Invoices tab. For example, if there are invoices or bills that you don't believe you'll ever pay, you can exclude them permanently from the cash impact in Futrli.
