Contents of the Cash Flow Statement Settings Form

Use the Cash Flow Statement settings form to define the section headings and map the accounts associated with each section for each company's Cash Flow Statement. The Cash Flow Statement reports inflows and outflows of cash during an accounting period.

If you use multiple companies, the Cash Flow Statement Settings form displays with two collapsible sections labeled Global Settings and the name of the active company. If you use a single company, these section labels do not display.
