Cash flow
4PM supports planning and monitoring project cash flow. Financial events (cost or income) can be planned in advance. They can be connected to:
- milestones (task end date) or
- special dates.
This enables application and project managers to overtake the accounting (finance) department. 4PM collects individual project cash flow plans on the organization level.
Cash flow:
- select the period to monitor cash flow plan and cost realization
- select financial event to monitor: cost, income, monthly sum
- 3 colours:
- light - plan
- in the legend - actual assembled costs
- dark - actual costs higher than plan, or not included in the plan
