Cash Requirement Report

Use the Cash Requirement Report to forecast your cash needs for invoice payments. You can submit this report before every payment batch to determine your cash requirements for the batch. You can also submit this report for the next two or three payment batches to forecast your cash requirements for the future and improve your cash management.

You can submit this report for a single currency or for all currencies. The report is ordered by currency and lists cumulative invoice totals in the invoice currency. The report provides in your functional currency a sum of all invoices of each currency, and a sum of all invoices on the report. The report alerts you if any invoices in the currency are missing exchange rates.

This report lists unpaid or partially paid invoices that match parameters you enter. The report does not include cancelled or fully paid invoices.

If you submit the Cash Requirement Report with No for the Summary Option parameter, the report lists all unpaid or partially paid invoices for a currency, by payment date and supplier name, starting with those invoices with the earliest due or discount date. Payables subtotals the amount due for each supplier and then for each payment date.

If you submit the Cash Requirement Report with Yes for the Summary Option parameter, the report lists the cash requirements by supplier for each currency and each payment date without displaying each invoice.

Report Submission

You submit this report from the Submit Request window. See: Submitting Standard Reports, Programs, and Listings.

Selected Report Parameters

Pay Only When Due. The value you enter determines which invoices are selected for the report and how the invoice totals for the report are calculated.

Pay Through Date. Payables includes invoices that have either a due or discount date that falls on or before the Pay Through Date you enter.

Payment Date. Enter the payment date that you want Payables to use for this report. If you choose No for the Pay Only When Due report parameter, and the discount falls on or before the payment date, Payables reports the discounted amount, rather than the full invoice amount.

Include Unapproved Invoices. Enter Yes to include all unpaid invoices in the report, regardless of their hold status. Enter No to exclude invoices on hold.

Suggestion: If you use the Cash Requirement Report to predict cash needs for a future payment batch, it is best to exclude invoices on hold, since Payables also excludes invoices on hold during payment batches.

Pay Group. Enter the Pay Group for which you want to run the report or leave the field blank to submit the report for all Pay Groups.

Summary Option. Enter Yes to submit the Cash Requirement Report in summary. The summary Cash Requirement Report displays the payment amount due to the suppliers included in the report, but does not display individual invoice information. Enter No to submit the Cash Requirement Report in detail.

Payment Method. Payables includes invoices with the payment method you enter. Leave the field blank to submit the report for all payment methods.

Currency. Enter the currency for the invoices you want to include in the report or leave the field blank to submit the report for all currencies. Payables orders the report by currency and prints the currency code at the top of each page of the report.

High Priority (1)/Low Priority (99). Payables includes all invoices with a payment priority between the high and low priority values you enter (1 is the highest priority, 99 is the lowest).

Selected Report Headings

Payables includes the discounted amount, rather than the full invoice amount, if the discount date is on or before the Payment you enter.
