Provisions.
Expected expenses, such as rent and maintenance, are entered as provisions and can become bills on the set date or by manual conversion.

P&L and cash flow side by side
The P&L shows the result of each period. Cash flow shows what is expected to come in and go out.
Projected balance.
The projection adds invoices coming due and bills payable and shows the expected running balance in each period, which helps plan payments and collection.
Management and accounting.
The management P&L supports day-to-day decisions. Official financial statements remain with the laboratory's accountants.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to wait for the accounting close to see the result?
Not for the management view. The management P&L uses the entries already recorded in the system, such as invoices received, bills paid and provisions. The official figures remain those from accounting.
How is the P&L built?
From the entries classified in the categories of the configured chart of accounts. An entry with no category or the wrong category changes the result, so the classification is reviewed during onboarding.
Can I see cash for the coming days?
Yes. The projection by day, week or month shows inflows, outflows and provisions, with period and running balance.
Can a closed month be changed?
Invoices in a closed month are locked for editing. Reopening is possible and requires a recorded reason.
