Planner isnt predicting future expenses, I thought it was supposed to do that? Anyone know why?

Hello there, accounts.

I can share information about managing planners in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

If you're referring to the cash flow planner in QBO, it can help you see the funds that come in and out of your business to keep track of the cash flow. Also, it uses historical data from your bank accounts connected to QuickBooks Online to forecast future recurring income and expenses. This includes categorised and uncategorised transactions.

In setting up a cash flow planner, you'll first need to connect your bank and credit card accounts. This way, you can use the data from your accounts in all QuickBooks. Next, manually add transactions for potential income and expenses. You can also create repeating transactions to make planning even easier.

Here's how:

1. Go to Dashboards and select Planner.
2. Click the Add Transaction.
3. Pick Money In if the item is income and Money Out if it's an expense.
4. Give the item a name and enter an amount.
5. Please know that if it’s a recurring item, select the Repeating button. Then, select how often the item repeats.
6. Then, hit Save.
