Settings
Under the heading Settings you will find different options for the payment forecast.
- Apply payment history - if you check this option, the system will take the payment history that was registered for each customer into consideration. The payment history can be printed in the Customer List procedure.
- Consider cash discount - if this option is activated the system will take any cash discount into consideration.
- Start date for payment forecast - here you enter the start date for the payment forecast.
- Balance brought forward - when using the list type Total you can choose to show the balance brought forward in the list.
- Include overdue invoices - invoices that are overdue before the forecast's end date can be shown as a total at the top of the printout.
- Include blocked invoices - supplier invoices that have been blocked for payment can be included in the forecast if you check this option.
- Include other payments - here you can include other incoming and outgoing payments that have been registered in the Other Payments Flows procedure.
- Include order backlog - here you select if you want to include the order backlogs (unfilled orders) in the Purchase and Sales modules in the forecast. The system will then go through the orders that have not yet been invoiced or to which a supplier invoice has not yet been linked, and calculates the due date. The system will consider the planned delivery date and the payment terms on the order.
Orders that are included in invoice bases, that is, orders that are delivered but not yet invoiced/linked, will also be included here. If an invoicing plan/payment plan is registered for the order, the system will instead calculate the due date based on the invoice period of each partial invoice. If this setting is checked, the following two options appear Include forecast order rows and Include subcontracts.
Orders that are paid in cash will not be included in the forecast. That is, if the payment term on the order is set to Cash, the order value will not be included in the forecast since this order type should already have been paid.
- Include forecast order rows - if you check this setting, the customer order rows that have row status Forecast will also be included in the payment forecast. The forecast will not include purchase order suggestions.
- Include subcontracts - this setting is checked by default if you have selected to include order backlog in the forecast. The subcontract purchase will then also be included. The amounts are loaded from subcontracts on the manufacturing orders that are not yet reported.
