Dynamics NAV 2017 Cash Flow Forecast

Every business understands the challenge of having enough cash flow at certain points in their growth path. In a competitive environment, it’s important to know what to expect with cash flow to make decisions intelligently. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 Cash Flow Forecast is a great tool to understand your cash flow forecast and can look ahead to predict the highs and lows in your cash balance. Improved management of cash flow helps improve your margins and ensure profitability. Cash Flow Forecast provides a prediction of how a company’s liquidity such as cash and other treasure positions will evolve over time.

Forecasting Consists of Two Main Measurements:

  1. Cash Receipts: The money you expect to receive and the cash you expect to pay out
  2. Cash Disbursements: Plus the liquid funds you have available

When you have a clear picture of cash receipts and cash disbursements, you get a direct cash flow forecast. You can also create a basic cash flow forecasting module that is easily extended or adjusted as necessary. The Cash Flow Forecast features is set for a particular time that you easily define. It’s takes data from your financial data sources such as the General Ledger, Purchasing,Sales, Service, and Fixed Assets and works it into a clear forecast that is easy to understand.

The wizard provided in NAV helps you complete most of your tasks, and take advantage of automatic daily or weekly data updates. In addition, more data sources are supported in NAV 2017, including jobs and tax data.
