Cash Flow Liquidity Planning

The cash flow forecast is a module integrated into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. In order to use it, a number of setups must be made, in particular the cash flow chart of accounts (which is conceptually similar to a cash flow statement) and neutral cash inflows as well as neutral cash outflows. In setup, the cash flow chart of accounts is linked with the origin of the payment flows. The cash flow forecast can be evaluated graphically over time, as an account schedule, or directly in the cash flow chart of accounts.

Recurring income (for example subscriptions) and external data sources can be included in liquidity planning. The forecast can be AI-supported.
