CFO workflows: performance, working capital and budgets
WF-09 to WF-11: the four statements, receivables and payables with DSO and DPO, and department budgets against actual.
Start WF-09 review financial performance in the demo
Launches an isolated session straight into /reports/trial-balance.
Every figure comes from posted vouchers
Reports read posted journal lines only; drafts and vouchers waiting for approval are left out. Anything you posted in an earlier workflow is included.
Department budgets are kept on each department: the amount used is maintained there, because vouchers do not carry a department. Only the Owner or an Admin can add or change departments.
