Follow these steps

1. Managing Cash Flow Budget

   Create a cash flow budget – which is a balance budget – based on a profit & loss budget in 'Cash Flow Budget. Create from Budget' (CFS100). Incomes and costs are automatically converted to payments and payments received according to user-defined tables.

2. Creating Cash Flow Plan

   Create a cash flow plan in 'Cash Flow Plan. Open' (CFS200). Values from the selected cash flow budget and M3 applications are automatically retrieved. A user-defined cash flow model controls what values will be included.
