Yes. It's possible, system.

 

In QuickBooks, the cash flow forecast is linked to your budget. Here's how to open this report:

 

  1. From the Reports menu, select Company & Financial.
  2. Select Cash Flow Forecast.
  3. Customize the report if needed.

 

I've also added this article for the steps when preparing a cash flow: Steps to Preparing a Cash Flow Forecast.

 

I'm just around if there's anything that I can help when preparing a cash flow.

Hi, Adrean.

 

Thank you for your quick response.

I'm wondering why cash flow forecast doesn't reflect a budget I've already create Balance sheet of this fiscal year.

Thanks for getting back to me, system.

 

The option to create forecasting using a Balance Sheet isn't available. Instead, we'll have to use Profit and Loss. 

 

When you're ready to create a forecast, you can follow these steps:

 

  1. Click the Company menu.
  2. Select Planning & Budgeting, and then Set Up Forecast.
  3. Select the fiscal year for the forecast.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Select an Additional Forecast Criteria.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Choose how you want to create a forecast.
  8. Select Finish.
  9. Enter a forecast.
  10. Click Save.

 

Afterward, let's review your budge and forecast by opening the Budgets and Forecasts report.

 

I'm just a post-away if there's anything that I can help. Stay safe!
