Usage/Purpose

The main purpose of the Cash Planning tabular model is to visualize the future cash position for a project, a company or for a group of companies. Depending on the purpose of the plan it can vary both in length and detail level. The cash position analysis can be based on several different dimensions such as Cash Plan Source, Cash Probability, Scenarios, Counterpart, Project, Cost Revenue Elements, Activities, Sub Projects, Subcontract and more. The base for the analysis is the cash flow date that can be grouped into calendar periods, accounting periods or user defined time buckets.

The tabular model contains three types of measures: “Cash flow” = Sum of opening balance, inflow and outflow transactions. “Inflow” = Sum of inflow transactions. “Outflow” = Sum of outflow transactions.

NOTICE: When using these measures is it mandatory to provide slicer to be able to select one (and only one) value in each of the two tables “SWITCH CURRENCY TYPE” and “SWITCH TAX”.

The measures also exist in different running total version stored in four separate display folders:

“Accumulative By All Dates” = Gives a running total for all dates starting from the first available transaction. Dates without transaction are given the same value as the previous available date.
“Accumulative By All Time buckets” = Gives a running total for all time buckets starting from the first available transaction. Time buckets without transaction are given the same value as the previous available time bucket.
“Accumulative By Date” = Gives a running total only for those dates with available transactions in the Fact table.
“Accumulative By Time bucket” = Gives a running total only for those time buckets with available transactions in the Fact table.

NOTICE: To minimize the risk of performance issues with these running totals, it is advisable to provide the user with the option to limit the time span that is analyzed.

In addition to the different cash flow measures to analyze, the tabular model also contains a set of supporting measures:

“Transaction Exist Flag” = The value is “1” if fact table data exist for current filter selection. Can for example be used to downsize a slicer to only include applicable values.
“Selected Amount Measure” = Determines which column(measure) from the Fact table to include in the “Cash flow” measure. [Hidden]
“Selected Currency” = Determines which of the five available currency that has been selected. [Hidden]
“Selected Tax” = Determines which of the five available currency that has been selected. [Hidden]
“Selected Rep Curr 1” = The reporting currency 1 for the current cash plan. The value is retrieved from the CASH PLAN table.
“Selected Rep Curr 2” = The reporting currency 2 for the current cash plan. The value is retrieved from the CASH PLAN table.
“Selected Rep Curr 3” = The reporting currency 3 for the current cash plan. The value is retrieved from the CASH PLAN table.

Configurations

By defining company structures in IFS Cloud, dynamic out of the box analysis capabilities are provided. To achieve a consolidated view on node level, the node can be selected from the Company Structure and on the same time deselected from the Counterpart Structure.

The analysis can be performed in Transaction Currency, Accounting currency or in three common currencies called reporting currencies, defined from the Cash Plan page in IFS Cloud.

Limitations

The Cash planning model is using the following Project dimensions:

Project
Project activity
Project Cost Breakdown Structure
Project Cost Revenue Element
Project Program
Project Work Breakdown Structure
Sub Project

Which means these seven dimensions need to be excluded from the model if the Project component is missing.
