The Cashflow Summary provides a high-level overview of your budgeted cashflow and allows you to compare figures both including and excluding GST.
The Cashflow Summary is located within the Budget Grid and helps you quickly analyse projected cashflow movements across your budget period.

1. Cashflow Summary Overview
By default, the Cashflow Summary is displayed in a collapsed view.
The summary contains two sections:
Cashflow Including GST
Cashflow Excluding GST
These sections display the running cashflow totals for your budget.
2. View Cashflow Including GST
The Cashflow Including GST section provides a summary of cashflow activity, including the impact of GST.
To view the detailed breakdown:
Select the expand arrow beside Cashflow Including GST.
When expanded, the section displays:
Cashflow IN
Cashflow OUT
Because this view includes GST, any forecast GST remittances and GST refunds are included in the totals.
This provides a complete view of projected cash moving in and out of the business.
3. View Cashflow Excluding GST
The Cashflow Excluding GST section allows you to analyse cashflow without the impact of GST.
To view the detailed breakdown:
Select the expand arrow beside Cashflow Excluding GST.
When expanded, the section displays:
Cashflow IN
Cashflow OUT
Unlike the GST-inclusive view, GST remittances and GST refunds are not included in these totals.
This allows you to focus on the underlying cashflow performance of the business.
4. Understanding Cashflow Totals and Opening Balance
The Cashflow Summary does not include the Opening Balance in its calculations.
If you need to view the Opening Balance of a budget, refer to the Total of Balances section at the top of the Budget Grid.
The Total of Balances includes opening account balances and provides a running balance across the budget period.
Key Difference
- Cashflow Summary: Displays projected cashflow movements during the budget period.
- Total of Balances: Displays running balances, including opening account balances.
