Question

How does QBO calculate the monthly "Money out" number in the Cash Flow diagram? It doesn't match the sum of our expense items. Is it a number directly received from bank?

The Money out number doesn't equal to my real Money out (expenses), and there's a real big gap ($50k vs $8k). The "Money out" in the diagram probably includes even my internal transfers, for example, from checking account to saving account. I can't get a straight answer from the customer service line, wasted an hour today and was told I put in the wrong number to begin with. I tried to ask what number I put in may affect it, so I could look into them and correct them, but the rep kept telling me I was doing things wrong so they can't help. I hope I could get some help here. Thanks.

I can share some information about the cash flow in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @useryuanbo.

 

Your money-out transactions that you can see in the Overview tab from your Cash flow menu are usually bills and expenses that are due for the month.

 

To further check what these transactions are, I recommend running the Expenses by vendor summary and Unpaid bills report. From the Overview tab of the Cash flow menu, click the View reports dropdown and select to run the report that you'd like to generate. 

 

For more information on how to manage your money out transactions as well as your money in, see this article for more information: Track your cash flow in QuickBooks Online.

 

You can also refer to the following article on how to customize reports in QuickBooks Online to get the most out of your financial reports.
