This activity is used to distribute the forecast cash amounts into the specific
time periods when they are most likely to occur. It is possible to spread the
amounts into accounting periods manually. The last day of the accounting period
will be used as the cash flow date when the project cash forecast is included
as a source in a cash plan snapshot.
If a new project cash forecast
is created by copying from an existing cash forecast, the spread details will
be copied from the selected cash forecast.
The cash forecast spread
amounts can be viewed and modified in Cash Forecast Spread Details
and in Forecast Spread Line Details.
If a cash plan
snapshot has been connected to the cash forecast, the amounts from the cash
plan snapshot are also displayed, distributed by accounting period, in the
Cash Forecast Spread Details and Forecast Spread Line
Details pages. The remaining amount on the cash forecast line needs
to be spread and sent back to the cash plan, as it represents the cash amounts
not covered by other cash plan sources.
A project cash forecast line with a Remaining Amount should exist.
