Copy a Cash Forecast

Copy a Cash Forecast

  • Generate a cash forecast.
  • Security:
    Reports: Cash Forecast Reporting
     domain in the Cash Management functional area.
You can copy a generated cash forecast to create new forecasts. This enables you to:
  • Create multiple versions of your cash forecast with modified cash activity amounts.
  • Create financial rolling forecasts using the most current forecast values and original time span profile.
  • Expand your daily cash forecast to a longer term to more accurately predict cash activity balances over time.
  1. Access the
    Find Cash Forecasts 2.0
     report.
  2. From the related actions of a cash forecast, select
    Copy Data
    .
    You can change any of the original cash forecast attributes, such as the outline to change the structure or the time span profile to change the term of the cash forecast.
  3. Review your
    Target Outline Rows
     and structure for the new cash forecast.
    If you've selected a different outline to use for the new cash forecast, select the
    Source Outline Rows
     on the original outline to map to the
    Target Outline Rows
     on the new outline.
    Example: Map
    Domestic
     and
    International
     supplier payment rows to the
    All Payments
     row to consolidate the amounts in the new cash forecast.
    Source Outline Rows
    Target Outline Row
    Domestic Payment
    : $100.00
    International Payment
    : $50.00
    All Payments
    : $150.00
    If you've used the same outline, Workday preserves the outline structure in the new cash forecast so you don't need to change the mapping.
Workday generates a new instance of the cash forecast worksheet in Workday where you can enrich your data and make any necessary adjustments.
  • When you copy a daily forecast to a weekly forecast, Workday aggregates all the daily amounts by week. Workday splits 10 days of forecasted amounts into 2 aggregated weeks.
  • When you copy a weekly forecast to a daily forecast, Workday displays an aggregated weekly total on the first day. You can then manually divide the weekly total by each day.
