There are several ways that you can create cash projections:

  • Create and run a cash projection on a one time basis. Use the Create New option in the Cash Projections Viewer workspace to open the Create Projections tab. You can use this tab to set up and run the cash projection and display it in the Cash Projections Viewer. This section describes this method.
  • Schedule the cash projection to run on a regular basis. You must create panel profiles in order to add scheduled events for cash projections. You can use the global Create Cash Projections panel to save a panel profile. You can then schedule it.
  • Create and run a cash projection on an ad hoc basis using global processing. You can use the global Create Cash Projections panel to set up the cash projection and submit it for processing.

Create a Cash Projection Manually

You can create a new cash projection manually in the Cash Projection Viewer workspace. If you want to use different criteria for the projection later, you must create a new projection with new parameters. You can create or delete projections at any time. Be aware that the system uses some of the preferences selected when you set up projection preferences as default values when you create a cash projection manually.

To create a cash projection manually: 

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Reports > Cash Projections Viewer.
    You see the Cash Projections Viewer workspace. 
  2. On the Cash Projections Viewer tab, in the General group, click Create New.
    You see the Create Projections tab. 
  3. Complete the options for the cash projection.
  4. Click Save & Close.
    The system generates the projection based on your criteria. You see a message that the system successfully created the cash projection.

In the Cash Projections Viewer workspace grid, you see a row for the cash projection you created. The projection row initially has a status of Request Processing iconImage Modified (Request Processing). When it completes processing, the status changes to Processed Sucessfully iconImage Modified (Processed Successfully). You can review the status of the cash projection to see if it processed successfully, along with cash projection summary and detail information, or any errors that occurred.
