You use this program to print a list of cash requirements for each supplier. This enables you to forecast future liabilities and to determine past due and current liabilities. The purpose is to indicate when funds need to be available to pay invoices while taking advantage of available discounts.

These options enable you to apply a theme to the report and to define multiple output destinations for the report once it has been compiled (SRS Output Options).
Invoices, debit notes and credit notes posted in the AP Invoice Posting program and invoices posted in the AP Permanent Entries Posting and AP Initial Invoice Capture programs are included in the cash projection.
The selected currency conversion is displayed in the heading of each page, and the currency code for each supplier is printed on the detail lines. These details are also printed on the Report Options page, if you enabled the option: Print report options selected (Company Setup).
Each invoice is analyzed to determine the best payment date, taking into account discounts available or due dates, and the invoice amount is accumulated into the appropriate column.
Suppliers with a credit balance are not printed on the report.
The report contains eight columns. The bucket size of these columns is determined by your entry at the Cash projection period in days field (Accounts Payable Setup).
For example: If you entered 15 at the Cash projection period in days field (Accounts Payable Setup) then the following columns are generated on the report:
Each invoice is aged by calculating the difference in days between the company date and either the discount date or the due date of the invoice. The invoice is added to the appropriate bucket based on this calculation and on your entry at the Cash projection period in days field (Accounts Payable Setup).
If the original discount amount against the invoice is not zero, then the invoice is aged by calculating the difference in days between the discount date and the company date.
If the discount amount against the invoice is zero, then the invoice is aged by calculating the difference in days between the due date and the company date.
If the discount or due date is earlier than the company date, then the invoice is deemed past due and the balance is added to the Past due column.
If the difference in days is less than the Cash projection period in days defined in Accounts Payable Setup, then the invoice balance is added to the currently due column. Any invoice where the difference in days exceeds the Cash projection period in days is added to the applicable column.
The savings anticipated due to discounts are shown per bucket and any credit notes are accumulated into a separate total.
If you select Include unapproved invoices, considerations regarding the values printed per supplier on the report are as follows:
Invoices with a negative current balance will be accumulated into ** Credits Available**.
They are not included in the individual ageing buckets.
Positive balance invoices, registered unapproved invoices and registered unapproved credit / debit notes (irrespective of whether the balance is positive or negative) are aged and accumulated into the relevant ageing bucket per supplier.
Considerations regarding the report total values are:
The total of all transactions with a negative current balance will be accumulated into ** Credits Available**.
They are not included in the individual ageing buckets of the report totals.
The total of all registered unapproved invoices and registered unapproved credit / debit notes (irrespective of whether the balance is positive or negative) are aged and accumulated into the relevant ageing bucket of the report totals.
