Cash Flow Forecasting and Purchase Order Dates

Posted on by Murrgh

Good morning,

We have recently set up Cash Flow Forecasting in NAV 2017. We're running into some issues with the automatic dates that are being brought into the Cash Flow Worksheet.

Here are some background details:

Purchase Orders have multiple lines for items that we receive on the first of the month. The Expected Receipt Date is set to 7/1/2021, 8/1/2021, etc for each line.
The Cash Flow Worksheet pulls in the "Cash Flow Date" as the PO Header Due Date + Payment Terms Code for each line.
However, instead of taking the "Expected Receipt Date" for each line - it's just using the above formula to calculate the date. Since it's using the header due date, it results in each months Cash Flow Date being 7/1/2021 - when in realize each one should be a month apart.

How do we have to set up the Purchase Orders so that the Cash Flow Worksheet properly pulls in the dates? Or is this an error on the Cash Flow Setup?

We run into the same issue, we could transfer larger orders with different lines to blanket sales and purchasing orders, but will this solve the problem?

Thanks - this is what I am seeing. But how does this work with Blanket Purchase Orders? If I'm using Cash Flow Forecasting, I will only be able to have one line per PO to have the CF Report be accurate with dates.

RE: Cash Flow Forecasting and Purchase Order Dates

Hi Murrgh,

In the case of Purchase Order (& Sales Order), the Cash Flow Date is the value in the Due Date field of the document header (in your case Purchase Order document), unless you are using the Cash Flow Payment Terms as well.

The expected Receipt date has no role to play in the Cash Flow Date for PO. Also, Payment Terms cannot be defined line-wise in base NAV. If you are currently doing so then it must be customization.

So, please check on these points because the out-of-the-box Cash Flow module works just fine.
