Settings that you establish on the Cash Flow Statement Setup form determine which sections are included on the report and the text used in the section headings.

  • Bank names included
Field Description
Operating Cash Flow The Operating Cash Flow section lists increases or decreases in cash amounts that are related directly to core business operations.

For example, the report could display the following:

  • Net Income
  • Change in Accounts Receivable: This row represents an inflow of cash. This amount includes cash receipt postings to cash (Bank Code accounts) based on AR account mappings in Invoice Mapping Setup.
  • Change in Accounts Payable: This row represents an outflow of cash. This amount includes payments posted to mapped liability accounts.
  • Depreciation and amortization
  • Deferred income taxes
Investing Cash Flow The Investing Cash Flow section lists all increases or decreases in investment amounts for the time period. For example, you might see amounts for capital expenditures, investment proceeds, or purchases.
Financing Cash Flow The Financing Cash Flow section lists changes in amounts for loans, debts, or dividends. For example, you might see an increase or decrease in financing cash flow from the purchase or sale of stock.
Total Cash Flow This amount is the total of the operating cash flow, investing cash flow, and financing cash flow amounts.
Cash at beginning of year The cash amount for the beginning of the year or accounting period range comes from the accounts associated with the bank codes selected on the Options tab. For example, if the bank code is associated with account 101.00 and the year is 2018, then the cash at the beginning of the year should be the total in account 101.00 at the end of December 2017.
Cash at end of year The cash amount at the end of the year or accounting period range is calculated as follows: Total Cash Flow + Cash at beginning of year/period range.
