What is this module for?
This module answers one question: between now and the end of the month, is more money coming in than going out? It is a cash question, not a profit question. It projects only what you have already scheduled. It does not know about one-off purchases like petrol. Treat the Net figure as the floor of your planning, not the whole picture.
How do I read the next 30 days?
- Look at the three cards across the top: Income, Expenses, and Net.
- Check the Reminders list for Past and Next groups.
- Read each row left to right: name, party, distance, badge, and amount.
- Note that amounts coming in are shown in green.
- Understand the badges: Past due in red means the date passed and the item was never generated, and Paid in green means the app has already generated that occurrence.
How do I check a specific day?
- Find the Calendar card on the right.
- Use the arrows in the month stepper to move to the desired month.
- Look for a small dot under a date to see if items land that day.
- Hover over or click the date to see the list of items.
- Click the same date again to unpin it.
How do I view an item's history?
- Click any row in the Reminders list to open the series window.
- Read the History chart showing the last six months of actual data.
- Compare the Total in last 6 months with the average line.
- Read the Coming up section for the next six occurrences.
- Close the window, as nothing is changed by viewing it.
How do I clear past due items?
- Look at the All past due card under the calendar.
- Decide if the item belongs to Recurring Expenses or Recurring Invoices.
- Go to that screen and press its generate button or fix the Next date.
- Return to Bills & Income and reload to see the badge change to Paid.
What this does to your books
Reading this screen posts nothing. Bills & Income never writes to your books; it only reads your recurring templates and does arithmetic on them. The entries are made on the owning screens: generating a recurring expense records a money-out row against the expense category and Cash & Bank (1000), and a recurring invoice follows the normal invoice path, which posts to Trade Debtors and Sales automatically for real companies but defaults to a manual debtor entry for practice companies.
