Received a request to provide a “cash flow forecast for expected expenses”. Intention is being able to look ahead at costs and ensure bank balance is up to the task. Business process does not currently require PO for every procurement transaction, and obviously it’s complicated to take a PO dated August and predict if the expense will come in September or October. Is there a better idea out there that I just don’t know about yet? Other than budgets or 3rd party tools like Adaptive or PCBS I mean?

How big is the business? If it's small, sounds like an excel job

fair point. Guess I was hoping there’s an obvious NS solution I didn’t know about. 🙂 But if it’s just budgets or excel then I have what I need to make a recommendation

From your requirements, doesn't sound like an easy thing to knock up quickly, hence excel :)

ya. realistically I think are hoping for a magic ‘easy’ button. But if they don’t have their arms wrapped around expected monthly expenses already it’s unlikely NS can help. Thanks for the sanity check.

we have a pre-built cash flow forecasting model in our Satori Reporting solution. I do agree you have to decide whether to go excel vs. automated.
