Show Income before Bills on Cash Flow when both land on the same day
i would like to request that when a bill, and a deposit land on the same day the deposits are counted before bills so as to avoid false reports of the account dropping below zero balance.
I keep two accounts. A bills and spending account. I periodically check the cash flow for my bills account to make sure bills are covered for the next 6 months. But sometimes when a bill and deposit land on tue same day I will sometimes get a false negative balance alert.
The web app seems to calculate correctly.

I want the OPPOSITE of this — and that's because, for example, my monthly check may arrive around 3am ET (or, I guess, midnight pacific), meanwhile if I have automatic withdrawals they may withdraw at midnight prior to the deposit arriving. So I want to make sure I have enough money to cover that days bills prior to the deposit arriving.

the web works opposite of what i reported. The cash flow graph within the accounts register in web app does not show a negative balance, but the cash flow report within the mobile app does. 🤷♂️

The web just gives a whole day number, not transaction by transaction.

In the Cash Flow portion of the app, it would help if on any given day both bills and income happen, income is listed first. Too many times I look at the cash flow and see a negative balance (which is a little heart stopping) only to realize that the income is the last entry for the day.

I would love this to occur - then the app would mimic the way most banks report transactions and it would cause less negative balance projections on paydays where someone may have a lot of money movement.

I think most banks do this. It would be nice if Simplifi could too.
I have two transactions coming out the same day as my paycheck comes in. In projected cash flow, one comes out before the paycheck and one after, making it look like I’m in the negative (albeit briefly). The transactions on the same day appear in some seemingly random order. The only way to control this is to manipulate the dates.Setting a simple rule of “credits before debits” (on same day) in the cash flow projection would solve this. The graph gets it right but not the table.
