Cashflow statement

You access this report by clicking the heading of the Cash Flow pane in the Finance Dashboard.

See Finance Dashboard.

This metric displays the Cashflow for the previous month as a bridge, or waterfall, chart which represents the cumulative effect of Operating, Investing, and Financing activities on the cash situation; resulting in Net inflow/outflow. Green bars represent cash in, and red bars, cash out.

Totals for each activity are displayed, and values for the individual items within it, representing the net change for the period. Positive values represent an increase and negative values represent a decrease. The colored arrows represent the cash impact of the change.

Analysis dimensions are used both to filter the list of codes displayed and to analyze individual codes in that list. For example, if you have analysis dimensions that represent business units or cost centers, you might display only codes which relate to a particular business unit or cost center and then analyze individual codes by business unit, or by cost center.

If you click an account, you are prompted to select the dimension by which to analyze it. Either the Analysis Dimensions Comparison report or the Analysis Dimensions Trend report is displayed, depending on whether you are in one of the Finance comparison reports, or one of the Finance trend reports.

To filter the list of codes, click Select analysis dimensions and select up to ten dimensions. By default, the default element of each dimension is selected. Typically, the default element is the "All" element. To filter the list of codes as required, select elements from each dimension.

To view the cashflow for a different period, select a date from the Time list.
Note: The date selected here does not affect the date selection in the two linked reports.
