About this Product
Cash Flow Forecasting & Planning is a build-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports for your finance team — it is not an off-the-shelf apps.odoo.com download and there is no instant download. After purchase, our Odoo engineers scope your chart of accounts, analytic structure and cash cycle, then deliver a production-ready application on Odoo 17, 18 or 19 within a typical one working week lead time.
Most finance teams predict liquidity in a spreadsheet that lives outside the ERP: it goes stale the moment an invoice date changes, it can't see confirmed sales orders or open purchase orders, and it has no audit trail. This module pulls forecasting back into Odoo, where the source data already lives. New models (built on models.Model with typed fields and @api.depends computes) roll your receivables, payables, recurring costs and manual assumptions into a forward cash position that recalculates as the underlying documents move.
At its core, the module lets you define configurable cash-in and cash-out categories, map them to analytic accounts or accounts from your existing chart, and project them across configurable fiscal years and periods (weekly, monthly or quarterly buckets to match how you actually manage runway). Receivables and payables are projected by their real due dates from account.move.line, so the forecast reflects when money is genuinely expected to land or leave — not just the invoice date. On top of the baseline you build scenarios: a base case plus best-case and worst-case variants where you flex collection timing, discretionary spend or a large deal, then compare projected closing balances side by side.
Every forecast is a first-class Odoo record with security enforced through ir.model.access.csv and record rules so a regional controller only sees their own company or analytic scope. Results surface in list, pivot, graph and OWL dashboard views, and a QWeb PDF report gives you a board-ready cash statement. Automated actions (ir.cron / base.automation) can refresh the rolling forecast nightly and alert you when a projected balance breaches a minimum-cash threshold. Because everything is native Odoo, the data is reachable over XML-RPC / JSON-RPC for a Power BI or external treasury feed. The module works on Community and Enterprise, and the delivery includes source code, configuration, documentation, training and a post-go-live support window.
What you get
- Complete, production-ready Odoo module source code (models, views, security, reports, data) packaged with a proper __manifest__.py and versioned for your Odoo 17, 18 or 19 instance
- Installation and deployment on your environment (Community or Enterprise), including staging validation before go-live
- Configuration of your cash-in/cash-out categories, fiscal periods, analytic mapping and receivable/payable projection rules against your real chart of accounts
- Security configuration: ir.model.access.csv rules and record rules for preparer, approver and viewer roles across your companies
- Technical and end-user documentation, plus the QWeb report template and any XML-RPC/JSON-RPC integration notes
- Live training session(s) for your finance team on building scenarios, refreshing forecasts and reading the dashboard, with a recording
- A defined post-go-live support and bug-fix window covering the delivered scope
- Source code ownership/handover so your team (or ours) can extend the module later
Who this is for
CFO managing liquidity and runway
Needs a single, trustworthy forward view of cash across companies and scenarios — not a spreadsheet that's stale by lunchtime. Uses the dashboard, scenario comparison and board PDF to answer 'how many weeks of runway' and 'what if the big receivable slips'.
Finance manager / group controller
Owns the weekly cash forecast and the assumptions behind it. Configures categories, maintains manual assumption lines, and relies on due-date projection from real invoices so the forecast reconciles to the ledger.
Accountant / AR-AP specialist
Keeps the receivable and payable projections honest by flagging payment-timing changes. Works with preparer-level access to update collection and payment assumptions without touching approved forecasts.
Odoo administrator / IT lead
Cares that the module installs cleanly on the current Odoo version, respects existing security and multi-company rules, and exposes data over JSON-RPC for the company's BI stack — all handled and documented by ECOSIRE.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cash Flow Forecasting & Planning
How long until the module is delivered, and what is the process?
This is a build-to-order module, not an instant apps.odoo.com download. Typical lead time is one working week from purchase, depending on scope. We start with a short discovery call to map your chart of accounts, analytic structure and cash cycle, build and test the module on your target Odoo version (17, 18 or 19), validate it on a staging copy, then deploy to production and train your team. You'll get milestone updates throughout.
What support and updates are included after go-live?
Delivery includes a defined post-go-live support and bug-fix window covering the delivered scope, plus documentation and a training recording. Beyond that window we offer ongoing support and enhancement retainers. Because you receive the full source code, the module is compatible with your Odoo version and can be maintained or extended by your team or ours. When you upgrade Odoo major versions, we can quote a migration to keep it running.
Does this work on Odoo Community or only Enterprise?
It works on both Odoo Community and Enterprise, for versions 17, 18 and 19. The forecasting models, categories, scenarios, security rules and QWeb report are built on standard Odoo framework features that exist in Community. If your instance uses Enterprise-only apps (like advanced accounting analytics), we integrate with them where it adds value, but the core module does not require Enterprise.
How accurate are the forecasts, and where does the data come from?
The module doesn't invent numbers — it projects from your live Odoo data. Receivables and payables are laid out by the real due dates on open customer invoices and vendor bills (account.move.line), recurring items come from your configured categories, and you add manual assumption lines for one-off events. Scenarios let you flex timing and amounts to model best/worst cases. Accuracy improves as your AR/AP hygiene improves; the forecast recalculates automatically as underlying documents change.
Can we connect the forecast to Power BI or export it?
Yes. Every forecast is a native Odoo record, so it's reachable over Odoo's XML-RPC / JSON-RPC API for a Power BI, Excel or treasury-tool feed, and available in pivot/graph views and a QWeb PDF for board packs. We include integration notes in the handover, and can build a specific BI dataset or scheduled export as an add-on if you need it.
Can it handle multiple companies, currencies and analytic dimensions?
Yes. The module is multi-company and multi-currency aware, and projections can be broken down by analytic account so you forecast per project, branch or cost center. Record rules scope each forecast to the correct company and analytic domain, so a regional controller only sees their own data while group finance sees the consolidated picture.
