Hi Octavio,

Thanks and I think I can achieve my objective there. But the Oracle Guide is very complicated and not straight forward. Let me go through it anyway.


Rizwan : we are planning to do for a single OU & set of books but for multiple bank accounts.

Thanks

Hi Rizwan,

I have not prepared a cash flow statement from CM or GL yet. In fact, I am running through the Oracle CM guide and would love to have a easy instruction or guide.

Thanks,

Hi Rizwan,

I couldn't find a way to do Cash Flows in CASH MGT. So, can u please guide me on the FSG (Cash Flow in GL)

Thanks,
Rihan

With my limited experience, I could not fit the cash flow requirements of the clients into neither with CM reports nor with FSG reports.

The cash flow report was always customized, though conceptual inputs were taken from the standard reports.

In my opinion, cash forecasting in CM is far better compared to FSG in GL (for this report).

FSG basic concepts are same, for P&L or B/S or Cashflow. Once you learn the basics, you can do any type of FSG report. There are FSG whitepapers available in the metalink apart from a seperate chapter on FSG in GL user guide.

Hi All,

I am in the process of developing a cash flow statement via FSG. However , I have come across many issues like getting the opening balance , changes in WIP etc.. If anyone of you all have developed a CFS using FSG (Indirect Method) kindly advice me and if possible send across a Screen Shot or Guide

Thanks,
