Cash Planning Overview — ClearBox FPA Help

Cash Planning is the weekly liquidity workspace. It handles near-term cash timing; use the monthly forecast for long-range planning.

Start from the cash forecast list

Open Cash Planning from the left navigation. The landing page shows your cash forecasts in a table with source, current week, length, and last modified information.

Name	Source	Current Week	Weeks	Last Modified
13 Week Cash Flow	QuickBooks	Apr 20, 2026	13	1 week, 2 days ago	...

Know what each tab is for

Dashboard gives you a quick liquidity summary before you start editing.
Cash Flow is the main weekly view for receipts, disbursements, and ending cash.
Planned Items is where repeating and planned cash items live.
AR / AP shows expected collections and payments.
Recommended Payments helps you review suggested payment timing.
Monthly Bridge compares the weekly cash plan against a monthly forecast; it appears once the entity has a forecast to compare against.

Use Cash Flow for week-by-week review

The Cash Flow tab is the core operating view. It combines:

summary rows such as beginning cash and ending cash
weekly columns
receipt and disbursement categories
imported items plus manual timing adjustments where allowed

Expect setup dependencies

Cash Planning works best when these are already in place:

Weekly Cash Categories are configured
imported transactions are landing in the right rows
payment timing rules are reasonably clean

If imported activity is landing in the wrong place, fix the category setup first. If expected payment timing looks wrong, review Payment Terms and AR/AP Timing and Reconciliation and Modifiers next.
