Update Cash Flow

Updating the cash flow allows you to see new fund trajectories for upcoming months based on new financial developments and established cash flow curves. The cash flow should be updated periodically, usually on a monthly basis. Cash flow is updated per budget line item for each remaining month of the project life cycle according to the measure by which the cash flow is linked to, such as the project start and target dates, the schedule, or task. Once the cash flow has been set up for a project, you can update it at any time.

The cutoff for any updates to reflect in the current month is 11:59 PM UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) on the last day of the month regardless of your individual time zone setting.
