Use Cash Flow and Changes in Equity reports
Pixie CRM guidance. Follow the route for your workspace, check your role and enabled modules, and verify the result before moving on.
Follow this guide to review how operating, investing and financing activity changes cash and how profits, contributions and distributions change equity.
What you’ll accomplish
Review how operating, investing and financing activity changes cash and how profits, contributions and distributions change equity. It forms part of Pixie CRM Enterprise CRM's Accounting & Bookkeeping module and uses the module's permission-aware controller, status and mapping flow rather than a generic spreadsheet process.
How it works
The module exposes separate Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Changes in Equity reports. Their quality depends on correct account types and transaction classifications.
Internal transfers move cash between owned accounts but do not change total cash and should not be mistaken for operating inflow or outflow.
Equity movement can include current-period profit plus direct equity postings.
Follow these steps
- Run the Statement of Cash Flows for the period.
- Compare opening and closing cash with bank and cash accounts.
- Investigate classifications using General Ledger.
- Run Statement of Changes in Equity.
- Compare profit movement with Profit & Loss.
- Check capital, drawings, dividends or adjustments.
- Retain explanations for material movements.
Settings to check
Check it worked
After the action is saved, Pixie CRM keeps the Accounting record connected to its source and updates the visible status or ledger data supported by this workflow. Review the saved result rather than relying only on a success message. Where the action posts accounting data, total debits and credits must balance and the accounts must match the approved mapping or manual selection.
- Open the saved record and confirm its final status.
- Review the source reference and every debit and credit line where ledger data was created.
- Use the relevant register, ageing, reconciliation or report to verify the wider effect.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reconcile cash before using cash-flow results.
- Review asset purchases and loan movements.
- Do not classify bank transfers as external cash flow.
- Investigate manual equity journals.
- Use the least destructive correction available and record the reason for material changes.
- Do not bypass a permission, approval or closed-period control by changing unrelated data.
