Nuove funzionalità e miglioramenti
Cash Balance and Total Cash Balance
You can now display two new columns in the budget table, Cash Balance and Total Cash Balance. Cash balance is the amount on a fund minus any expenditures. Total Cash Balance is the sum of the Cash Balance on all child funds and their parent fund.
To use cash balance and total cash balance:
- Go to Budgets > Select a Budget > Edit
- The new columns are hidden by default. Click the wheel icon to open the "Show Columns" menu. "Cash Balance" and "Total Cash Balance" will appear as options to select:

- Once selected, the Cash Balance and Total Cash Balance columns will be visible in the Budget table:

Prevent Over-expenditure
You will now receive a warning if the Cash Balance of a fund is negative when you click either "Pay" or "Mark as Ready" on an invoice. This serves as an additional check to prevent over-expending a fund. Previously, users were not warned if a fund's balance went negative due to over-expending. Now, when you mark an invoice as ready or pay it, a warning dialog will appear if the fund is being over-expended. Users can then choose to proceed with the payment or modify the invoice to use additional or different funds.
Benefits:
- Better financial oversight with real-time cash balance tracking.
- Simplified financial planning with a consolidated view of total cash balances.
- Proactive management of funds with timely warnings for over-expenditures.
To use Prevent Over-expenditure:
- Go to the invoice

- Click the Pay or Mark as Ready

- If the Total Cash Balance will be over-expended, you will encounter a warning allowing them to continue or cancel. The warning contains a table that summarizes the fund being over-expended, including the Fund Name, Fund Code, Cash Balance, Amount Expended with the current Invoice, and New Cash Balance.


The dialog serves as a warning instead of a block, so you may proceed with paying the invoice or marking the invoice as ready to be paid even if the fund is being over-expended.
