How to set up cash flow

Here is an overview of the steps required to set up the cash flow module.

Note: There are two Cash Flow modules: the module in effect prior to the 9.3 release is called Cash Flow (Basic); the module introduced in 9.3 and discussed here is named Cash Flow. Each module has its own user and administration mode permissions.

Step 1: Grant yourself permissions to configure the cash flow modules.

Step 2: Create custom cash flow data sources. These are used to create curves in projects and shells. You also define a color for each data source, which will display as the curve color on the cash flow graphs. See " Creating Cash Flow Data Sources"

Step 3: Create distribution profiles. These profiles can be used to distribute cost or any value over a period of time. (See "Distributing Cost Data".)

Step 4: Create cash flow templates. You can create any number of cash flow templates at the company level, or create cash flow curves within a project/shell template. Setting up cash flow templates is essentially the same as creating the curves manually in a project or shell (or a project/shell template), with some exceptions that are mentioned in the setup procedure details. You can use company-level and project/shell level templates to quickly create cash flow detail curves and rollup curves in projects and shells. See "Create a template for a cash flow curve ".

Step 5: Create cash flow in a project or shell. You can create any number of cash flow curves in a project or shell. These can be detail level or rollup curves. You can create them manually, see "Create a template for a cash flow curve ", by copying an existing curve, or by copying a template, see Working with Cash Flow in the Primavera Unifier User Guide

Step 6: Create cash flow in a program or company. You can create rollup curves in programs and in the company workspace, and roll up cash flow data from projects and shells. See "Create roll-up templates" in the Primavera Unifier User Guide.

Step 7: Grant cash flow permissions to users.
