Anticipate what you will have to pay
The invoice does not exist yet, but you know it is coming: the insurance in March, the software renewal, the supplier's deposit. Your accounts can do nothing with it until it is issued. Your cash flow already depends on it.
Planning ahead
Planned expenses
An expense that hasn't been invoiced yet doesn't exist in your accounting software. Yet your business already knows about it: enter it now and MaCompta Pro takes care of the rest.
Enter the expense before the invoice arrives
You know its date, amount and frequency long before the supplier's document reaches you. Nothing forces you to wait for that document before the expense exists in your budgeting.
Example: your professional liability insurance, €1,800, due on 15 January 2027, recurring annually.
So MaCompta knows as early as August 2026 that this expense is coming.
- It appears straight away in the due-date calendar.
- It is deducted from your projected available amount, month after month.
- The day the invoice arrives, all that's left is to mark the expense as paid.

From forecast to actual expense
Each planned expense carries a status that you move forward. That is how a simple forecast gradually becomes an expense actually paid.
Planned
An expense under consideration.
You know it should happen: it goes into your forecasts without committing anything else.
Confirmed
The expense will go ahead.
Amount and date are fixed: the forecast becomes a firm commitment on your budget.
Paid
The expense has actually happened.
The transaction is entered, the forecast is settled and your figures are back in line with reality.
On holdSeparate status
Amount or date still uncertain.
The expense stays visible and flagged until you firm it up: it doesn't distort your forecasts, and it doesn't get lost either.
A planned expense is a management forecast: it is neither an invoice nor an accounting entry. Examples given for illustration.
Recurring
Your recurring costs project themselves.
Subscriptions, rent, leases, insurance, fees: you enter the expense once with its frequency, and MaCompta Pro fills in the following months for you. Your forecasts stay up to date without re-entering anything.

A scheduled expense is not an invoice: it prepares your budget before the invoice exists.
