Liquidity Forecast

This report presents a forecast of all actual and future payments to and from the firm during a specified period. The forecast is based on the Due Dates of Purchase and Sales Invoices.

When printed to screen, this report has FirstOffice's Drill-down feature. Click on any Transaction Number in the report to open the Transaction. Invoices will be shown in the 'Invoice: Inspect' window, Purchase Invoices in the 'Purchase Invoice: Inspect' window.

Double-clicking 'Liquidity Forecast' in the 'Reports' list opens the following window:

You can choose to exclude those Purchase Invoices for which payment has been prevented (those whose Hold check box has been switched on).

This option allows you to assume that all Invoices will be paid on average a specified number of days late.

This report can be a very useful tool in your liquidity management. Like all FirstOffice's reports it can be exported as a text file. Import the data to an Excel model, and use Excel's excellent graphing capabilities to produce a graph of the money flowing through your business.
