Cash Flow - Functional Specifications

Overview

Purpose

The cash flow statement functionality is highly required on an ERP.

Scope

Implement a cash flow statement to be exported to a spreadsheet including information from plans (forecast), commitments (orders) and actuals (invoices)

Design Considerations

The cash flow statement will be issued starting from the actual date (today), and it will not include the planned records before today. It's user's responsibility to keep up to date the plans to show accurate results.

It's important also to implement a join between the commitments (orders) or actuals (invoices) and the plans in order to allow the user to mark that a specific order or invoice is related to a plan or forecast and allow the statement to subtract the amount from the plan.

Assumptions

All components of the development must be translated to spanish.

Dependencies

The development of this requirement depends on Functional Specification for Commitment AR AP
