A weekly cash-flow review routine

Key takeaways

• Reconcile bank and till separately, then date the expected customer receipts and committed payments for the next seven days.
• Do not treat expected receipts as guaranteed cash; identify in advance which outflow can move if collection is late.
• When committed payments exceed available cash, state the amount and date of the shortfall. Do not count an unconfirmed customer promise as money already available.

pDaftar capabilities

• pDaftar provides reports and statistics based on recorded business activity.

Workflow inputs

Reconcile bank and till separately, then date the expected customer receipts and committed payments for the next seven days.

Begin the week with actual bank statement and till balances rather than copying the previous forecast. A late receipt or withdrawal may have changed the money genuinely available.

Operating sequence

Do not treat expected receipts as guaranteed cash; identify in advance which outflow can move if collection is late.

Lay out the next seven days by date, separating payroll, rent, and confirmed orders as committed payments. Classify expected customer receipts as confirmed, promised, or uncertain.

• Confirm opening bank and cash balances for the week.
• Group actual inflows and outflows by date and category.
• Compare upcoming commitments with available cash and document the decision.

The decision at week end

When committed payments exceed available cash, state the amount and date of the shortfall. Do not count an unconfirmed customer promise as money already available.

Limitations

• A seven-day view may omit loans, tax, or seasonal costs. Significant obligations need a separate forecast over a longer horizon.
