Hello, 

I'm new to odoo, and more generally in the management of a little business :) 
We are using odoo since 2 month now for accounting.

 We previously had a kind of cash plan in a excel file, but it was hard to maintain so we abandoned it. 

We are a small service business and we know the most of our montly expend, even if there not billed yet, and we can easly estimate the inflow with the sales module. 

I found 1 or 2 module for that, but it seem overkilled. I also explore the accounting analytics, but it look like more about measuring rentability. 

So I was wondering how most people do to forecast cash flow in odoo? or with a other software?

I'm not aware of any function like this. We do it with google sheets still. However there's a software company which exhibited on the Odoo Experience Conference last year, which is called Agicap and they make a good impression to solve your issue.

  1. Install the Cash Flow Forecast module from the Odoo app store. If you are using Odoo Enterprise, this module should already be available to you.
  2. Configure the settings for the Cash Flow Forecast module by going to the "Accounting" app, clicking on "Configuration" and then "Settings". Scroll down to the "Cash Flow Forecast" section and make sure it is enabled. You can also set up the starting date for your forecast and the number of days you want to forecast.
  3. Once the settings are configured, go to the "Accounting" app and click on "Cash Flow Forecast" in the sidebar menu.
  4. Click on the "Create" button to create a new cash flow forecast. You can choose the period for which you want to forecast cash flow and select the bank account(s) you want to include in the forecast.
  5. Add expected inflows and outflows to the forecast by clicking on the "Add an Item" button. You can add items such as invoices, bills, bank transfers, and other transactions that will affect your cash flow.
  6. Once you have added all the expected items, click on the "Forecast" button to view the cash flow forecast for the selected period.
  7. You can also generate reports and export the forecast data in various formats by using the buttons at the top of the screen.

Note that the Cash Flow Forecast module is only available in Odoo Enterprise, and you may need to have the appropriate user permissions to access and use this module.
