What's new
When you create a model, you can now choose Weekly instead of Monthly. A weekly model shows one column per week and rolls up into months, quarters and years, so you see the weekly detail and the bigger picture in one place. It's built for the 13-week cash flow forecast, and works just as well for weekly revenue or weekly KPIs.

Weekly models work with the rest of Abacum. You can enter weekly inputs, pick the exact week your forecast starts, feed weekly numbers into your monthly P&L, and report by week with the new Next 13 weeks and Week to date time frames.

How it works
Weeks follow your organization's calendar: the day your week starts and how weeks group into months. A model's timescale is set when you create it, so use Weekly for cash and short-term planning and Monthly for everything else. Your existing models stay monthly. Formulas work as usual, with t-1 meaning last week: Opening Cash = Closing Cash.t-1.

Try it now

1. Check your week calendar in Company settings → Configuration.
2. Create a new model and choose Weekly.
3. Add your variables, or follow the 13-week cash flow tutorial step by step.

Available for all organizations. Full guide in the Academy.
