The Cash Flow Analysis process is used to enable analysis of cash flows. The information from the analysis can be used for making cash flow decisions of a company or group of companies. Cash Flow Analysis can also be used as support for managing currency risks in future original currency cash flows. The Cash Flow information can be used for ordering cash flow exposure reports and for producing cash flow exposure details.
The information forming the basis of calculations can both be entered manually and transferred from IFS/Payment, IFS/Customer Order, IFS Projects or IFS/Purchasing. IFS/Payment contains payment plans for both customers and suppliers. IFS/Payment also keeps account balances with the company’s payment institutes. IFS/Customer Order contains information on customer orders, preliminary invoiced orders, and order lines. Information on purchase order lines and purchase requisitions is stored and transferred from IFS/Purchasing.
