The Workbench tab: rescheduling and planning

The Workbench shows the same money as the Planner, item by item: rows are items, columns are time. Click an amount to set when you expect or plan the payment, even in several instalments.

The columns cover ever larger periods: the first two weeks by day, the next eight weeks by week, then by month. The first column is Overdue: amounts that should already have arrived or gone out.

Click the amounts. An item can have several dates, and each can be changed separately. Clicking opens the schedule: a date and an amount per row, and one click splits it into 2–12 equal instalments, monthly or weekly.

A line above the table shows how much money is missing at the low point, and when. That is what needs solving.

Filters:

• Schedule – all, only scheduled items (where someone set a payment date), or only unscheduled ones. The last one is the to-do list.
• Not arriving – offset, disputed and uncollectible items, struck through (hidden by default).
• Only overdue and Only watched (the partners you watch).

Planning mode: moves are not saved straight away; they first show in the table, and the closing balance changes with them. So you see what the plan is worth before you commit to it. When you apply, all changes are saved together.

What cannot be rescheduled shows a lock icon: wages, loan repayments, planned cash flow items and recurring invoices not yet issued. Change these in their own settings.
