Cash flow statements

A cash flow statement provides information about the history of the cash flow. The statement provides an overview of the sources and uses for cash, and helps the Management to assess the ability of the company to meet its short-term obligations. In some countries, a cash flow statement must be submitted to authorities periodically.

In Infor LN FP2, on the cash flow statement, the transactions were only grouped by cash flow reason.

In Infor LN FP3, to define a cash flow statement, you group cash flow reasons into cash flow reason groups. Next, you group the cash flow reason groups into parent cash flow reason groups. A cash flow statement can contain one or several parent cash flow reason groups.

On the cash flow statement, LN prints the total amounts of each parent cash flow reason group and the subtotals for each child cash flow reason group.
