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.

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.
