Cash Flow

This grid displays cash flow information for the time interval selected on the Select tab. The grid includes rows for all cash flow categories, and also the following three rows:

• Past Due Accounts Receivable - The first column for this row displays accounts receivable past its cash flow date. You can move accounts receivable out of this row and into a cash flow category row by changing the cash flow date.

• Past Due Sales Orders - If a sales order is past the order's required date, it is included in this row in the column related to using its date rules against the current date. If a sales order has a manually updated cash flow date that occurs in the future, the software looks back to determine what the required date would have been, and if it occurs in the past, it is included in the column related to its cash flow date. You can move sales orders out of this row and into a cash flow category row by changing the cash flow date to something that is greater than the current date plus the payment terms and date rules.

• Past Due Purchase Orders - If a purchase order is past the order's delivery date, it is included in this row in the column related to using its date rules against the current date. If a purchase order has a manually updated cash flow date that occurs in the future, the software looks back to determine what the delivery date would have been, and if it occurs in the past, it is included in the column related to its cash flow date. You can move purchase orders out of this row and into a cash flow category row by changing the cash flow date to something that is greater than the current date plus the payment terms and date rules.

Note Cash flow dates are calculated based on supplier and customer rules set up in Cash Flow Customer Group Maintenance and Cash Flow Supplier Group Maintenance. You can change cash flow dates manually in Cash Flow Detail Inquiry.

If you do not override exchange rates, cash flow data is based on the exchange rate for each transaction.
