The cash flow statement (Cash Movement in Simple mode) follows the money in your cash and bank accounts through a period: where it started, what came in and went out, and where it ended.
How it is built
Section titled “How it is built”- Cash means every account in the 1200 Cash and 1210 Bank families, including bank accounts you added.
- Operating activities — customer payments, supplier payments, expenses and everything else that is neither of the two below.
- Investing activities — movements that touch 1500 Fixed Assets or its sub-accounts (buying or selling equipment).
- Financing activities — movements that touch an equity account (owner’s capital in or out).
- Opening cash balance is the position before the period; opening balances dated inside the period are folded into it, so Closing always equals the balance sheet’s cash.
Reading it
Section titled “Reading it”Choose the period. Cash In and Cash Out summarise the totals; each activity section lists the movements by account. Transfers between your own cash and bank accounts (contra) net to zero and do not appear as activity.
