Does the Cash Flow Planner include credit card transactions? Or doesn't it?FAQs says "doesn't include Credit card transactionsUsing says "includes linked bank and cards

Hi there, oliver-abilex.

 

The Cash Flow Planner helps you forecast your business’s cash flow by analyzing past bank transactions. You can also add future events to see how they’ll affect your cash flow.

 

However, QuickBooks Online Cash Flow Planner excludes individual daily credit card transactions from its forecasting. Instead, it focuses solely on cash flow in connected bank accounts, using past bank account data to project future income and expenses.

 

Payments made to a credit card through a bank transfer will show up in the Cash Flow Planner as a "money out" transaction. However, individual credit card charges, like specific purchases, are not included in the Planner's tracking.


What the Cash Flow Planner Tracks:

 

  • Transactions from connected bank accounts
  • Recurring income and expenses
  • Planned future events
  • Cash flow forecasts based on past bank activity

 

What It Doesn't Track:

 

  • Credit card transactions
  • Balances in credit card accounts

If you need to track credit card spending along with your cash flow, you can use other reports in QuickBooks Online, such as the Profit and Loss or Balance Sheet reports. These reports provide detailed information on credit card spending, payments, and account balances.
