Cash & Treasury
Add Treasury accounts and record cash held
Record the cash held in defined accounts so RunwayCal can include a reviewed cash starting point in the financial picture.
In this guide
Prerequisites
- A reviewed balance for each account you intend to record.
- A clear account label that workspace users will recognize.
- An agreed point in time for the balances being entered.
Start with the right cash terms
Treasury records cash held. Related measures answer different questions and should not be collapsed into one number.
| Item | What it means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Treasury account balance | The recorded amount held in a defined account at the reviewed point in time. | Provides account-level cash context. |
| Total Cash | The sum of balances recorded across defined Treasury accounts. | Provides the held-cash total used in current financial context. |
| True Cash Position | A separate planning metric that keeps held cash and supported recorded obligations visible together. | Adds obligation context without becoming a guarantee of safe-to-spend cash. |
| Runway | A planning signal based on cash and supported operating assumptions. | Estimates duration and remains distinct from Total Cash and True Cash Position. |
Record an account
Use the fields shown in the current Treasury interface, focusing on the account identity, reviewed held-cash balance, and point in time.
Open Treasury
Go to Treasury and start the add-account workflow available in the workspace.
Identify the account
Use a name that makes the source of held cash clear. Select a type only from the options presented by the current product.
Enter the reviewed balance
Record the held-cash amount for the agreed point in time. Do not add unused credit or money that is merely expected.
Check the context
Confirm the label, amount, and point-in-time understanding are clear to another reviewer.
Save and review Total Cash
Confirm the account appears in Treasury and that Total Cash reflects the balances you intended to record.
Manual updates, connected context, and corrections
Treat a manually recorded balance as point-in-time information. Review it when the account changes materially or a new planning review begins.
Some supported provider-specific paths may update a dedicated balance. That narrow behavior does not mean every bank or account is continuously connected, reconciled, or current in real time.
When correcting a balance, preserve enough source context to identify the point in time. Check the current interface before relying on edit history or rollback behavior.
What happens after saving
The recorded account contributes to held-cash context. Other records still determine the wider planning picture.
Treasury to planning context
- Recorded Treasury balances
- Total Cash
- Current financial context
- Runway inputs
- A saved account changes the recorded held-cash context.
- It does not prove that every external account has been reconciled.
- It does not turn expected revenue into received cash.
- It does not make commitments disappear because payment has not yet been recorded.
Troubleshooting and review questions
| Item | What it means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cash looks too high | A balance may be duplicated, stale, or include something other than held cash. | Review every account and remove unsupported credit or expected money. |
| Total Cash looks too low | An account may be missing or out of date. | Compare the Treasury list with the agreed source balances. |
| A connected balance differs | The provider path may use a specific balance definition or refresh point. | Review the provider guide and point in time before changing the record. |
| Cash feels available but obligations are due | Held cash and decision capacity are different questions. | Review obligations, timing, True Cash Position, and runway separately. |
