The process of cash flow planning is carefully researched and the sequence of cash flow planning by types of production and economic activity is developed with clear detailing of each stage, where sources of income for enterprises from financial, investment and operational activities, expenses for the same activities and opportunities for optimization are sought. increase revenue and minimize costs. The article proposes the use of such cash flow planning tools as payment calendar, schedule, planned cash flow budget.
