A cash projection is the sum of all expected cash flows during a specified date range based on a combination of known confirmed future cash flows plus assumptions on future cash flows with uncertain or estimated values.

WRITERS NOTE: this definition comes from the Cash Projection PLM by Rick Doron 9/16. Is it ok to use? His powerpoint also says you can calculate a projection based on Trade Date or Settlement Date. What do we do? should we say anything about how we create a cash projection?

About Processing and Viewing Cash Projections

You can create a cash projection using the Create New option in the Cash Projections Viewer workspace, process it, and then view it. Or, you can process a cash projection on an ad hoc basis using the global processing panel, Create Cash Projections. You can also set up a schedule for the system to automatically generate a cash projection based on that global process.

After the system processes a cash projection, you can view that cash projection in the Cash Projections Viewer workspace. If your organization prefers not to use the Cash Projections Viewer to view processed projections, you can use the Query Cash Projections panel to execute a query based on a cash projection and provide results in a grid format.

About Segregated Cash Projections

If you use cash segregation, the Cash Projections Viewer tool can generate segregated cash projections. You can create segregated projections when you select an entity that uses cash segregation and you choose the entity's custody (CUST) accounting basis.

When you run a projection for the custody basis, the Cash Projections Viewer's Projection Detail tab shows the Start of Day settled cash balance and Current Day settled activity for each cash account as well as settlement currency.

Each cash account has its own Start of Day settled cash balance and Current Day settled activity. The results also show additional data fields such as cash account, principal, and income.
