Exercise - Set up cash flow forecasts by using Azure AI
This exercise uses the CRONUS sample company from the US version of Business Central. You might need to adjust the steps if you use the sample company from your country or region.
Scenario
The Cash Flow Forecast chart uses cash flow accounts, cash flow setups, and cash flow forecasts. Some cash flow forecasts are provided; however, you can set up your own forecast by using an assisted setup guide. The guide helps you specify factors such as how often to update the forecast, the accounts to base it on, information about when you pay taxes, and whether to turn on Azure AI. In this exercise, you'll set up cash flow forecasting by using the assisted setup guide.
