Financial Planning: Cash Flow Forecast

Cash Flow Forecast

Financial planning uses inventory, order, invoice, and MRP Results to provide a quasi Cash Flow Analysis of the Sales Income and Purchase outgoing expenditure. It does not calculate labour or overhead costs. It only provides a cash analysis on direct material transactions.

When you operate the menu function or operate the Run Analysis Again button you open the Financial Planning Selection window in which you can choose options for the analysis.

Warning WARNING: Financial Forecasting functions are not available to those who only have licensed the Inventory version of the program.

The window has 2 tab panes.
