Payables Cash Requirement Report

Use this report to forecast immediate cash needs for invoice payments. You can run the Payables Cash Requirement report before submitting every payment process request to determine cash requirements for that request. You can also submit this report for the next two or three payment process requests to forecast future cash requirements.

The report produces output based on the definition of the payment process request template and the payment business units that you can access.

Run the report from the Reports and Analytics work area or from the following pages:
  • Manage Scheduled Processes
  • Manage Payment Process Requests
  • Create or Edit Payment Process Request Template

Parameters

Payment Business Unit

Specify a payment business unit, which is a business unit with the Payables Payment business function that's responsible for processing payment transactions.

Template

Select the payment process request template to forecast cash requirements for.

Pay Through Date

Enter a date to determine which invoices to select for payment.

Payment Date

Enter a date to determine discounts and interest calculations.

Note: The report might include invoices that you plan to pay with a bill payable, if the payment date is before the expected maturity date.

Summary Option

Select the level of invoice information to report.

  • No: This lists unpaid or partially paid invoices for a currency, ordered by payment date and supplier name. The list starts with invoices with the earliest due or discount date.
  • Yes: This lists the payment amount due, but doesn't provide individual invoice information.

Include Unvalidated Invoices

Select whether to include unvalidated invoices.

Note: When you include unvalidated invoices, the invoice amount might change before paying the invoice. For example, invoice validation hasn't completed certain tax calculations, or the invoice may be on hold for an amount-related issue.

Include Unapproved Invoices

Select whether to include unapproved invoices.

Included Selected Invoices

Select whether to include invoices selected by other payment process requests.

Tip: Consider excluding unvalidated, unapproved, and selected invoices because the processing of payment process request excludes these invoices.
