Tips & Important Notes

  • The correct setup in this module is the key to automatically generating an accurate Statement of Cash Flows from the system.

  • This is an advanced accounting setup that must be managed by the Chief Accountant or Finance Manager.

  • Every account related to the movement of cash or cash equivalents (e.g., all Cash, Bank, Receivable, Payable accounts) needs to be mapped here for the Statement of Cash Flows to be valid.
