Hi All,

According to the help documentation, Create Cash Flow forecast is defined as The activity used to create a forecast of future cash flows from the cash flow information collected from the specified companies based on a selected analysis ID.

But when we create a cash flow forecast, details show only the past data and not any for the future.

Highly appreciate if someone can tell me how this functionality works?

The cash flow forecast should include all open transactions as enabled in the sources (open invoices, POs, COs, PRs etc.). The date shown is payment terms + wanted delivery date (for orders)  or planned payment date for invoices etc. 

 

Could be that you have a lot of open transactions from historic periods, hence the event date is shown in the past?

 

The second thing to check is - what are the dates in the Cash Flow Forecast?

Hi @Dharshankumaar Mahendran,

This seems self-evident, but it's worth noting that in addition to @Ieva Rituma’s advice, updating the Cash Flow Analysis before defining the Cash Flow Forecast is necessary.

The process involves collecting cash flow information from specified companies based on a selected analysis ID. However, if the analysis hasn't been updated with the latest data, a new Cash Flow Forecast won't reflect future projections accurately.

Best regards,
Lauri
