Know your cash position before it's a crisis
Turn open invoices, bills, pipeline deals and recurring costs into a transparent, forward-looking cash forecast — with visible assumptions behind every number, proactive shortfall alerts and a manager approval workflow, all inside Odoo.
The problem
Odoo tracks what you have invoiced and what you owe, but not when that money actually moves. Finance teams export data to spreadsheets to guess when cash will arrive, manually reconciling payment terms against due dates — and still get blindsided when a large receivable lands two weeks late.
The solution
Cash & Budget Forecasting turns your live invoices, bills, CRM pipeline and recurring items into a rolling cash timeline. Every projected figure shows the document and timing rule behind it, shortfalls trigger alerts automatically, and a built-in approval workflow keeps the whole finance team aligned.
Everything a forecast needs to be trusted
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Multi-Scenario Forecasting
Build Best Case, Expected and Worst Case scenarios, or duplicate any scenario in one click. Choose a daily, weekly or monthly horizon of up to a year.
Direct-Method Cash Timeline
Opening and closing balances chain period to period, with inflow and outflow broken down by invoices, bills, pipeline and recurring items for each bucket.
Transparent Assumptions
Every projected amount lists the exact invoice, bill, deal or recurring item and the timing rule that produced it, so you can trust — and audit — the number.
Predictive Pipeline Inflow
Open CRM opportunities above a minimum probability are weighted and added to the forecast, so likely deals show up before they are invoiced.
Recurring Income & Expense Planning
Model payroll, rent, subscriptions and other recurring items on weekly, monthly or quarterly schedules so the forecast reflects your full obligation calendar.
Shortfall Alerts
A daily check compares every approved forecast against its minimum balance, posts a warning on the record and schedules an activity for the users you choose to alert.
Budget Approval Workflow
Submit a forecast for review; only users in the Manager group can approve or reject it, with the decision and date tracked on the record.
Forecast vs Actual Dashboard
A live graph plots projected balance against actual cash movements, and a forecast-accuracy score tracks how the model performs over time.
Multi-Format Reporting & Export
Export any forecast to CSV or Excel, or print a PDF report with the full period breakdown and an assumptions appendix for stakeholders and auditors.
How it works
Set up a scenario
Pick a scenario type, horizon and granularity, then choose your payment timing and overdue rules.
Generate the forecast
One click pulls open invoices, bills, pipeline deals and recurring items into period buckets.
Review and approve
Check the assumptions, dashboard and shortfall warnings, then route the forecast to a manager for approval.
Track and export
Refresh actuals to see variance against plan, then export or print for stakeholders.
