Customize categories

Create new categories, delete categories, rename, change order, move

COMMITLY provides a template for liquidity planning. Because cash flow is determined using the direct method, the template is divided into 3 areas:

  1. Operating cash flow (with ongoing inflows and outflows)

  2. Investing

  3. Financing

These three areas can represent all cash-effective transactions of any company.

You can customize these categories, for example to represent product, project or customer groups in the income area.

Create a new category

A new category can be added under TRANSACTIONS > Manage Categories.
​

Subcategories

Up to two additional levels can be created for subcategories and sub-subcategories. This lets you tailor the category structure individually:

What to do if you cannot create a subcategory?

  • For existing categories with assigned transactions, subcategories can NOT be created, because a parent category represents the sum of its subcategories.

  • Simply create a new category, which will then take on the role of parent category.

If existing categories are to be assigned to a new group, a subcategory must first be created in this new category for technical reasons. It can then be deleted again.
