The Cash Flow card in the Financial Dashboard provides a graphical view of inflows, outflows, period result, and real account balance within the selected date range. It can be viewed both in the Current Situation tab and in the Cash Flow tab, following the same reading logic.
Summary of the top indicators
- Revenue: total inflows in the selected period.
- Expense: total outflows in the selected period.
- Period Result: the difference between revenue and expenses during the selected period.
Formula: Revenue - Expense.
- Real Account Balance: the consolidated real balance of the financial accounts in the analyzed period, based on the effective recorded balance.
Chart display modes
The chart allows switching between two ways of reading the data:
- Accumulated by day: shows the cumulative evolution throughout the period.
- Movement by day: shows the daily moved values without accumulation.
Available lines and series
Depending on the selected view, the chart may display one or more of the following lines:
- Accumulated Revenue: total inflows accumulated up to each day of the period.
- Accumulated Expense: total outflows accumulated up to each day of the period.
- Accumulated Result or Period Result: the difference between revenue and expenses over the period.
- Real Account Balance: the effective consolidated balance of the financial accounts, used to compare period performance with the actual cash position.
Display filters
The user can choose which information should be shown in the chart:
- Result: displays only the period result line.
- Real Balance: displays only the real account balance line.
- Both: displays both result and real balance at the same time, making comparison easier.
How to interpret
- If accumulated revenue grows faster than accumulated expense, the result tends to improve.
- If accumulated expense approaches or exceeds revenue, the period result becomes smaller or negative.
- The real account balance line shows the effective cash position, which may differ from the period result because it reflects the consolidated balance of the accounts, not only the movement within the selected interval.
- When result and real balance are shown together, the goal is to compare:
- the financial performance during the period
- with the actual cash position in the accounts
Difference between the tabs
- Current Situation: shows the card as part of the dashboard summary, for a quick reading of the financial scenario.
- Cash Flow: shows the cash flow analysis with greater focus, allowing a more detailed reading of period behavior.
Important note
If there is not enough data for the selected period and active filters, the system may display a message indicating that there is not enough data to generate the report.
