Cash Flow Statement

[lhbc-donate]

Never Assume...
Is a cash flow statement (or Sources and Users of Cash) the same as a Cash Management Report listed in PC10.4?
if so
I have ran the report but it only reports one entry.
It is noted that "to include an account in the cash management report, it must be selected in Maintain Chart of accounts."
Again I am assuming I need to go though every account number (Detail & Group) and check off that box to include in Cash Management Report.

Thank you again for the support!!!! ...Carey

I don't think the Cash Management report is the same thing as a Cash Flow, but it seems to be a good alternative for those that use it.

You wouldn't necessarily want all accounts, showing on the Cash Management report, only those that your cash regularly "flows" in and out of.

Someone here who actually uses this report on a regular basis will hopefully be able to give you a better explanation of how they use it.

Take a look at the Check Register by Fund report to see if this give you what you want. This report was apparently the Cash Flow report in previous versions.

I played around a little with the Cash Management Report (I don't normally use it), and it doesn't seem to be the equivalent of the Cash Flow report.

I wish there was a way to attach a file here. I am copying from my year-end spreadsheet the categories that we used on our cash-flow statement for end-of-year 2008.

It's probably too messy to understand, but it may help guide you to find a template that you can use.

The check register report by fund seems to have all the information necessary to construct a cashflow statement.

Cash management report and cash flow statement are different, I think they use to be for the same report. Cash flow statement represents the cash flow in and out of the business and is usually calculated for a short period. The cash flow statement helps in judging the ability of an individual or an organization’s bill payment capability.

This is an 11 year old topic. The program, being a cash based accounting system, provides the Check Register by Fund which is basically a "Cash Flow' report.
