Definitions

Cash at beginning of period

Total cash available at the beginning of the period.

Cash at end of period

Total cash calculated for the end of the period. If this amount is lower than your beginning balance, your business has a negative cash flow. If this amount is negative, you may need to increase your cash flow to maintain your current operations.

Received from customers

Cash received from your customers for the period. Make sure this amount is based on your actual receipts, not your booked sales. An increase in your accounts receivable may increase your profit on paper, but it does not change your cash flow.

Other cash receipts

Any other cash received during this period. Again, make sure this amount is based on the amount actually received.

For inventory

Total cash paid for the period to purchase inventory. Like your cash received, your cash paid during a period should be your actual cash payments.
