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
