To summarize open invoices for cash forecasting purposes
As part of your cash forecasting activities, you might want to review a summary of your open invoices.
When you run A/R cash forecasting, the system:
Consolidates open invoices from the A/R Ledger table (F0311)
Summarizes information by business unit, company, due date, and currency
Deletes existing records in the Cash Summarization table (F0032) with the cash type you specify in a processing option
Updates the Cash Summarization table with the new information
The following graphic illustrates the cash forecasting process.
To receive an accurate picture of your current cash position, forecast your A/R cash flow.
When you run A/R Cash Forecasting, the system creates the Cash Summarization table (F0032) that contains the following:
Total of all open invoices
Due dates of open invoices
Receipt amount required from customer
From Accounts Receivable (G03), enter 27
From A/R Advanced and Technical Operations (G0331), choose A/R Cash Forecasting

Viewing the results of A/R cash forecasting | You can use World Writer to view the information created when you run A/R Cash Forecasting. The information can also be downloaded to a standard spreadsheet program or used by custom programs for cash analysis. |
Multi-Currency | When using multiple currencies, invoices are summarized by both the domestic and foreign currencies. In the Cash Summarization table, the domestic currency code appears in the Currency Code field. The foreign currency code appears in the To Currency Code field. When you process domestic invoices, the foreign amount and currency code are the same as the domestic amount and currency code. |
