AR258 - Cash Forecasting Report



Run Cash Forecasting Report (AR258) to create a cash forecasting report.
The report is used to project incoming cash based on the outstanding open
items for a company.
Two methods are available for forecasting. One method assumes the open
item due date is the date cash will be received. The other method uses the
customer's payment history, the Invoice Payment Average (IPA), to determine
the date cash will be received. The IPA is the average number of days a
customer's
invoices are outstanding. The IPA is added to the invoice date to determine
the date.
You can select a process level or currency and define aging periods
and percents to further define the listing.
Company totals are included for past due open items, unapplied payments
and credit memos, net past due amount (past due open items minus unapplied
payments and credits), and incoming cash projections by date. Past due is
defined as an open item due date on or before the system date. Cash projection
is determined by the Totaling Days and Future Cutoff Days you define. The
date cash will be received for an open item must be on or before the system
date plus the future cutoff days to be included in the cash forecast.
Projection
totals are included for each multiple of the totaling days up to the future
cutoff days.



**More Information

The IPA is calculated as follows:

1. Calculate the days outstanding by subtracting the invoice
date from the date of payment deposit.
2. Calculate the flow of funds days by mutliplying the days outstanding
by the payment amount.
3. Add the payment amount for all invoices.
4. Add the flow of funds days for all invoices.
5. Divide the total flow of funds days by the total payment amount.
