Enable cash flow forecasting

This article explains how to turn on the Cash flow forecasts feature in Finance insights.

Note

To use payment predictions in the cash flow, you must set up the Customer payment predictions feature as described in Enable customer payment predictions.

1. Open the Feature management workspace, and follow these steps:

   1. Select Check for updates.
   2. On the All tab, search for Cash flow forecasts. If you don't find that feature, search for (Preview) Cash flow forecasts.
   3. Turn on the feature.

2. Go to Cash and bank management > Cash flow forecast setup, and add the liquidity accounts that should be included in the forecasts. Also set up the liquidity account for payments on the Accounts receivable and Accounts payable tabs. Be sure to recalculate the cash flow forecast.

   Note

   If liquidity accounts aren't set up, the cash flow can't be generated.
