How does the Cash Flow planner make cash flow forecasts? What data is included?

The cash flow planner gets data from several sources to get a representative view of your business' cash flow. Future-looking data in the planner may include:

• Any unpaid QuickBooks transactions with a future due date. This includes invoices, bills, expenses, sales receipts, or payroll payments generated by QuickBooks Payroll. Once these are paid, they won't appear in the planner as future transactions.
• Transactions from your connected bank accounts.
• Money in or money out transactions predicted based on patterns in your historical data. This includes predicted credit card payments.
• Transactions you manually enter into the planner.
