Cash Flow
You can print a cash flow plan as a PDF for a bank, a fund or a financing meeting, with the periods, the currency and the company the reader needs.
A PDF of the plan is for readers who do not work in KOSMA, such as a bank, a fund or a financing meeting. For a reader who works in KOSMA, [share the cash flow plan](/kb/article/share-a-cash-flow-plan) instead. You need the plan open in Cash Flow.
The PDF shows the periods, rows, currency and company of the grid; step 4 lists what differs. Before you print, choose in Cash Flow the periods, **Budget Detail**, **Currency** and **Producer** the reader needs. Fewer periods and fewer rows give fewer pages.
| Setting | Choice | | -------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Weekly**, **Bi-Weekly**, **Monthly** | **Monthly** gives the fewest columns | | **Budget Detail** | **Category** for fewer rows, **Group** for more detail | | **Currency** | the reader's currency | | **Producer** | **Combined Producers** for the whole production, or one company for a partner |
For the details, see [choose the budget detail level](/kb/article/choose-the-budget-detail-level), [change the display currency](/kb/article/change-the-display-currency) and [view one company, or all of them](/kb/article/view-one-company-or-all-of-them).
In the project menu, choose **Print…**, or press Cmd+P on a Mac or Ctrl+P on Windows. KOSMA opens **Print Cash Flow**.
Enter the title and choose the page setup. While the project stays open, KOSMA keeps **Paper Size**, **Color Mode** and **Orientation** for your next printout.
| Field | What it sets | | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Title** | The line under the project name at the top of the PDF, and the file name | | **Paper Size** | **DIN A4** (the default) or **US Letter**. **Custom Auto** prints the whole plan on one page as wide as the columns need | | **Color Mode** | **Color** (the default) prints negative values of **Cash Flow** and **Cumulated cash flow** in red. **B/W** prints without colour | | **Orientation** | **Landscape** (the default), **Portrait** or **Auto**. **Auto** prints landscape. With **Custom Auto**, you cannot change it |
Put the version and the date in the title, for example "Cash flow, financing application, March 2027", so the versions of a financing round stay apart.
Click **Open PDF** to open the PDF in your PDF viewer, or click **Save PDF** to choose where KOSMA saves it.
KOSMA prints income and expense groups in full, even when you collapsed them in the grid. It prints each run of periods without any income or expense as one narrow hatched column; the totals still cover every period. KOSMA does not print the waterfall chart.
Your licence does not include Cash Flow. In the Demo Project, you can print with every licence. Outside it, you can print and export a cash flow plan with a **Production** licence or during a trial, but not with **Free**, **Budget** or **Cost Control**. With **Free**, KOSMA shows:
Editing a shared dataset needs a paid licence. Your Free licence does not include editing access. Upgrade your licence to continue. If your licence comes from a team, your team admin manages it — ask them to check the team’s plan.
With **Budget** or **Cost Control**, KOSMA shows:
You don't have editing access to this module with your licence. Upgrade your licence to continue. If your licence comes from a team, your team admin manages it — ask them to check the team’s plan.

If the plan was shared with you with **Can view** access, you cannot print or export it. To see the reason, point at the forbidden sign  in the left-hand panel of Cash Flow:
This dataset was shared with you and cannot be edited. Ask its owner for editing rights.
Ask the person who shared the plan for the PDF, or for **Can edit** access.
**Export to Excel instead.** To give the reader the figures as a spreadsheet, choose **Export Data** in the project menu. KOSMA writes the same figures to an Excel file, in the display currency.
