You can use either the View Cash Forecast window or Cash Forecast window to view cash forecasts. The View Cash Forecast window does not allow you to modify the forecast, whereas the Cash Forecast window lets you view and modify it.

   To inquire on a cash forecast without ability to make modifications:

1. Navigate to the View Cash Forecasts window. The Find Cash Forecasts window appears first for you to enter search criteria.

2. (Optional) Enter a partial or full Template Name, or a partial or full Forecast Name. Enter a forecast period type in the Forecast By field. If you enter a forecast period type, you can then select From and To values for a Start Period or Start Date.

3. Choose Find to find all cash forecasts that match your search criteria. The View Cash Forecasts window appears.

Note: Within the View Cash Forecasts window, you can show, hide, and move fields, and make them wider, narrower, or change their prompt. You can save your changes as folders for yourself or others to use. Refer to the Oracle Applications User's Guide for more information on modifying and saving folders.

Note: Choose the Requery button to find all existing cash forecasts without using any search criteria. (Choose the Find button on the tool bar to bring up the Find Cash Forecasts window again.)

4. Choose Open from the View Cash Forecasts window to view cash forecast definition information. The View Cash Forecast window appears.

5. If you are proceeding to the View Cash Forecast Amounts window, choose how you want to view the amounts by selecting a Factoring format:

• Units. Displays amounts as calculated.

• Thousands. Displays forecast amounts as multiples of a thousand (1,000 = 1.00).

• Millions. Displays forecast amounts as multiples of a million (1,000,000 = 1.00).

• Billions. Displays forecast amounts as multiples of a billion (1,000,000,000 = 1.00).

6. If you are proceeding to the View Cash Forecast Amounts window, you may choose to check the Display Forecast Summary check box to show the Cash Inflow, Cash Outflow, Net Cash summary, and GL Cash Position fields in the Forecast Amounts window. (Keeping these fields hidden helps speed navigation performance for very large forecasts.)

7. Choose the Review button from the View Cash Forecasts window to view cash forecast data. The View Cash Forecast Amounts window appears.

Note: Within the View Cash Forecast Amounts window, you have limited folder capabilities; you can show, hide, and move fields, and make them wider, narrower, or change their prompt. You cannot, however, save folder information. Refer to the Oracle Applications User's Guide for more information on modifying folders.
