The direct cash flow shows where money came from and where it went. Caleido works it out from the movements on your balance sheet accounts. An increase and a decrease on the same account usually mean different things: a debit on a loan account is a repayment, a credit is a new loan. That is why on the **Cash flow** tab each account is mapped twice, once for **Debit** movements and once for **Credit** movements. Read [Direct cash flow](https://support.caleido.io/concepts/direct-cash-flow.md) to learn how Caleido builds the cash flow from your data. ## Open Cash flow mapping **1. Open Settings** Click **Settings** in the sidebar, or open the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar and select **Settings** **2. Open Cash flow mapping** Under **Accounting**, click **Cash flow mapping**. **Account mapping** opens on the **Cash flow** tab. Click **Full screen** to open it as a page of its own You can also switch to the **Cash flow** tab from **Account mapping** at any time. See [Map accounts to the statements](https://support.caleido.io/guides/settings/account-mapping.md). ## What the Cash flow tab shows **Left: the Unmapped list.** An account appears once for each direction that still needs an answer, with a **Debit** or **Credit** badge. Accounts are grouped by where they sit on the balance sheet: * **Unmapped to balance sheet**: accounts that have no balance sheet row yet. Map them on the **Balance sheet** tab first * **Assets** and **Equity and liabilities**, each split by balance sheet group * **Profit & loss accounts**, if your cash flow template also uses P\&L accounts Use the **All**, **Debit** and **Credit** filter to work on one direction at a time, and **Expand one level** and **Collapse one level** to open and close the groups. **Right: the cash flow statement.** Next to **Range**, two extra columns: * **Direction** shows which movements a row takes: **Debit**, **Credit** or **D / C** for both * **Value** shows the impact the mapped accounts have on the cash flow, as a sample Cash and bank accounts are not mapped here. They are used to reconcile the net cash flow and are mapped on the **Balance sheet** tab. ## Map debit and credit movements **1. Pick a direction** Optional: set the filter to **Debit** or **Credit** to see only one kind of movement **2. Select accounts** Click the account rows you want to place. Tick a group to select every account in it **3. Drag them to a row** Drag the selection onto the cash flow row where the movement belongs. A **Debit** row only takes debit movements, a **Credit** row only credit movements, and a row without a direction takes both. Rows that can't take what you are dragging are dimmed **4. Check the result** A check mark confirms the save, and the account appears under the row. The other direction of the same account stays in the list until you place it too Changes are saved straight away. When everything is answered, the list says **Cash flow is mapped**. When all three statements are complete, it says **All accounts are mapped**. ## Change or remove a mapping **1. Find the account** Use **Search** above the statement, or expand the rows **2. Select it** Tick the account, or a row to select every account under it **3. Unmap** Click **Unmap**. The movements go back to the **Unmapped** list, ready to be placed again ## Related * [Map accounts to the statements](https://support.caleido.io/guides/settings/account-mapping.md) * [Direct cash flow](https://support.caleido.io/concepts/direct-cash-flow.md) * [Link payments to accruals](https://support.caleido.io/guides/cash-flow/link-payments-to-accruals.md) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
