Payments Forecast
This report, which, together with the
Receipts Forecast in the Sales Ledger, will be very useful for cash-flow prediction purposes, gives information about outstanding credits (i.e. unpaid
approved Purchase Invoices), sorted by Due Date or Payment Date. This shows how much it is expected the company will have to pay out in the near future.
Purchase Invoices booked in foreign Currencies will be recalculated to the home Currency using the current exchange rates, not the rates used when the Invoice was entered.
