Question about cash flow and salary

[sa3m]

Hello there,

I would like to use the cash flow module but I don't understand how it can work with salaries as you cannot enter a forecast line other than payable and receivable.

Thank you for your time and those modules.

Hello,

When you encode your salaries, you actually encode a debt towards your team (and the administration for the corresponding taxes) on payable accounts. So you can simply use the same payable account(s) you (or your accountant) usually use to encode the salaries in miscellaneous operations to add a line to the forecasting report.

Hope this helps!

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your answer.

I did not say that I work with french accounting and it might change things a bit.
As I understand it, the salaries are in 421xxx and the taxes on 431xxx and they are not payable but "Passif Circulant".

I can change the type of those accounts but I don't know the repercussions of this action.

Cheers.

Hello,
Indeed, some accounting reports might depend on the account types, so it might be risky to change the account type here. You could have a try on a test database and sees what happens on your balance sheet, profit & loss, you other accounting reports (open balance...).
Otherwise, you can use another account in the forecasting line for the salaries, for example the one for your bank account (in Belgium it is a 5xxxxx). This should be usable directly in the report.
