Chart of Cash Flow Accounts

In order for Cash Flow Worksheet Forecasts to work properly, a the Chart of Cash Flow Accounts must be adjusted.

...

Note

The standard cash flow suggests the financial account cash flows defined by the user for a given category.

This cannot be used if the cash flow extension by currency is used because the amount on the financial accounts are always converted to LCY. For this purpose, the user needs to set up the liquid funds without the financial accounts filter and just set Source Type = Liquid Funds.

Info

Apart from the Chart of Cash Flow Accounts, it is possible to adjust the settings of the Cash Flow Forecasta in the table Cash Flow Setup. Both tables are usually preset automatically.

Cash Flow Manual Expenses/Income

Not all income/expenses will be reflected in the system at the time the cash flow forecast is created. Use the Cash Flow Manual Expenses and Cash Flow Manual Revenues functionalities for anticipated income/expenses in the future. These can be set up to expect, for example, rent in a certain amount and certain currency every 15th of the month.

...

Note

Currency is not part of the standard cash flow. So, for example, the BC standard does not allow you to choose currency in manual receipts/expenditures and everything is entered in local currency (LCY).

Info

There is also another functionality you can use for this purpose - G/L Budgets.
