Cash flow
A cash flow statement tracks the actual inflow and outflow of cash for a property over a specific period.
A cash flow statement consists of cash flow lines, eventually aggregated to the free cash flow, the highest aggregation level, which consists of three activities (aggregations):
• Operating activities
• Investing activities
• Financing activities
Underneath an activity, multiple aggregated lines are shown. Planon RE Assets distinguishes 4 cash flow line types:
• Aggregated: These cash flow lines are always an aggregation of underlying cash flow lines. These cash flow lines are not configurable by the end user.
• Mandatory: These cash flow lines are always part of the statement and are calculated based on business logic for which the payment structure is not configurable by the end user.
• Fixed: These cash flow lines are optional and are calculated based on business logic for which the payment structure is not configurable by the end user.
• Dynamic: These cash flow lines are optional and the payment structure is configurable by the user.
