PLANNING
The Planning module is the core of professional cash flow management in COMMITLY and by default provides a rolling liquidity preview (Forecast "FC") based on actuals, Open Items and Budgets. The liquidity preview can be compared with separately created Plans and Scenarios. This lets you spot shortfalls or surpluses early and plan measures as well as alternative Plans and Scenarios in a targeted way.
Planning Functions
Create Plans and Scenarios in COMMITLY, from the rolling Forecast and static Budgets to dynamic "what-if" Scenarios for comparing and simulating different developments.
Smart Planning
With Smart Planning, a cash flow Plan based on the AI forecast can be created in three steps. Existing transaction data and categories form the basis. Settings and categories are already pre-filled and can be adjusted before the Plan is created.
Manage Plans
Central settings for your Plans: set the Forecast period, switch Plans active/inactive, commit Plans and, if needed, adopt them as the new Forecast basis – including controlling and export functions.
