Field / column | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Displays different financial components, such as income and expenses. • When the forecast level equals cash flow, general ledgers are not shown, and input is entered at the cash flow level. • When the forecast level equals general ledger, the general ledger level is shown, and input must also be entered at this level. |
Cash flow definition | Cash flow lines are categorized into: 1. Mandatory: These lines are read-only and show a total over the forecast period (with the format 0,000,000; this format will depend on the regional/language settings). 2. Fixed: Fixed line items do not change across forecast periods but may vary by strategy. Key items include: ◦ Acquisition: Add, delete, and edit details like acquisition date and price. ◦ Forward funding: Adjust the interest rate and key handover date. ◦ Disposition: Add or delete dispositions with details like disposition date and price. 3. Dynamic: Dynamic lines represent cash flows that can either be imported from a source or manually entered. ◦ If imported, the cash flow total shows as 0,000,000, and you can’t edit it. If not imported, you can enter the cash flows yourself. ◦ If not imported, you can enter the assumptions used to calculate the cash flow yourself. These depend on the type of event (like recurring or one-time) and whether it’s an operating or investing activity. ◦ The type of input depends on the configuration of the financial statement. Continuous and recurring events display a pop-up where you can enter the quantity, method, and start date. Single and variable events display a slide-up panel where you can enter multiple lines for each cash flow or general ledger line. |
Forecast period | The forecast shows the calculated cash flows during the forecast period, based on the selected method in the column header. Click on the forecast period amount to open the slide-in. A slide-in will be opened that shows all calculated cash flows during the forecast period. You can view the results in the Financial statements screen. For more information, see Financial statements. |
Actuals | This column is only visible if the forecast level is set to General ledger. If the process type is Valuation, the column is not displayed. |
Notes | A field for additional information or clarifications related to each financial entry. |
