Enable cash flow forecasting

This article explains how to configure the Cash flow forecasts feature in Finance insights.

Note

To use payment predictions in the cash flow, you must set up the Customer payment predictions feature as described in Enable customer payment predictions.

1. Go to Cash and bank management > Cash flow forecast setup, and add the liquidity accounts that should be included in the forecasts. Also set up the liquidity account for payments on the Accounts receivable and Accounts payable tabs. Be sure to recalculate the cash flow forecast.

   Note

   If liquidity accounts aren't set up, the cash flow can't be generated.

   For more information about how to set up cash flow forecasts, see Cash flow forecasting.

2. Go to Cash and bank management > Setup > Finance Insights > Cash flow forecasts, and follow these steps:

   1. On the Cash flow forecast tab, select Enable feature.
   2. Select Create prediction model.

Note

The Cash flow forecast model training requires data with 100 or more transactions that span more than one year. We recommend that you have at least two years of data with more than 1,000 transactions.
