  15. You get

    You opened Jun at €4.21M and closed at €4.18M. €348,000 came in, €378,000 went out, so the balance fell €30,000. Both sides are settled bank movement, so the bridge ties exactly.

Frequently asked questions

Does it break fees out as their own step?

No. A fee carried on the transaction row is inside the flows, not beside them. The card holds five figures (opening, in, out, the gap, closing) and no fee segment, so a fee bar would be a number nothing measured.

What if the numbers do not add up?

Then the skill says so and shows the gap as its own step. The closing balance is read on its own rather than worked out from the flows, so a residual is a real finding about your data. It is never absorbed into money in or money out to make the bridge look tidy.

How does it decide what came in and what went out?

From the period's own rows, once. Some feeds record an outflow as a negative amount and some as a positive magnitude, so the convention is elected over the whole period rather than guessed per row. A period that mixes both is reported as such instead of split on a guess.

Does a parent workspace's cash count?

No. The sums run under the own scope, so a child workspace bridges its own accounts only. Adopted balances from a parent moved the parent's accounts, and counting them here would report money the child never held.

Does it break inflows out by source?

This skill gives you the bridge: opening, in, out, closing. For the breakdown of what the outflows were spent on, ask the cost structure skill.

Why does it not tie to my accounting?

The bridge is settled bank movement. Your ledger can recognise things in a different period, so the two answer different questions on purpose.

Can I bridge a quarter?

Yes. A quarter is three months, the month you name included. Ask for the period you want and the skill bridges it, as long as your feed covers both ends of it.
