Cash Flow
The Cash Flow cost entity in e-Builder is used to project the amount of money that will be expended each month in the remaining life of a project. Setting up the cash flow entails establishing industry standard cash flow curves for each of your budget line items (Manual, Bell, Inverse Bell, Linear, S and Inverse S Curves). The cash flow module is optimized by incorporating the project's schedule, allowing you to link curves to the overall schedule or to tasks within the schedule. You can also link cash flow curves to the overall project, for expenditures that do not involve the schedule. The cash flow is viewed and calculated on a month to month basis. This is a great financial planning tool that helps you anticipate how much money will be needed for each budget line item in the approaching months.
