PURPOSE
This document contains the procedures for viewing operational forecast in the system.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Viewing operational forecast allows users to view operational forecasts that are input by an entity, or view the consolidated forecasts by group of entities.
PROCEDURE
1. From the Menu, select Cash Management > Forecasting > Operational, you can choose to view in grid or list.
2. To view operational forecast in grid view, select Grid. Operational Forecast (Grid) screen displays.
3. Choose the Accounting Centre to view. If the accounting centre you wish to view is not available, contact the administrator to grant you rights. In this case, we will choose TFS-SG.
4. The Ccy/SSI field will be populated with bank accounts that belong to the accounting centre selected. Bank account groups in the dropdown are characterized by a ‘+’ sign in the beginning of the short name. In this example, we will select TFS-SG-CITI-SG-S428.
5. Next, select the time bucket for how to view the forecast. It can be daily, weekly, monthly, etc. This is user-definable. For more information on how to set up the time bucket, click here.
6. Unit is ‘Full Value’ by default. You may change it to view by thousands or millions, but in this example, the default will be chosen.
7. Select the reporting currency you want the forecast to appear in by clicking the dropdown beside the Rpt Ccy field. The exchange rate used for the conversion will be the valuation rate archived in the system at the From Date. In this example, we will use SGD.
8. The cycle field is set to default. If chosen, the default cycle will allow maintaining forecast for an open-ended period. This can also be defined. For more information on how to set rolling forecast cycles, click here.
9. Choose the From Date to set the date from which the forecast is to be displayed. This can be a past or future date.
10. The source field is also set to default. Source can be used to maintain forecast for different purposes. For example, you may want to keep an aggressive forecast in the system. This can be done by creating a source called “Aggressive Forecast,” and then forecast can be maintained under this source. For more information on how to set up the source, click here.
