Cash flow forecast
A cash flow forecast is a forward-looking calculation of future cash flow over a defined period. It compares expected cash inflows and outflows over time so that it becomes clear when funds are likely to be available or when shortages may arise. The figures are often structured by posting period to classify trends clearly. A typical use case is checking whether sufficient liquidity will be available in the coming weeks to meet due payments and plan measures early, thereby supporting liquidity planning.
