Impact of unpaid invoices and bills

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

Updated yesterday

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

Not only can you 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, ensuring the cash flow forecast is as accurate as possible.

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 they’ll be paid 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 cash flow with due invoices, there may be many unpaid invoices and bills that Futrli will have pulled through for the first time. You should visit the invoices section to tell Futrli how to handle them.

If there are invoices or bills that you do not believe will ever be paid, hit Exclude to exclude them permanently from the cash impact in Futrli.

What about where you can see the impact of the unpaid invoices?

There are two options here. The first is within the Cash Flow Statement tab, you'll see Unpaid Invoices listed against any applicable account.

Alternatively, within any tab you will see the Cash flow view toggle, which one selected, will again list Unpaid Invoices against any applicable account.
