Set Up Cash Forecast Report Definitions

Set Up Cash Forecast Report Definitions

  • Create a time span profile.
  • Define cash forecast component definitions.
To specify the overall content of the report, use the
Create/Edit Cash Forecast Report Definition
tasks. Through the definition, you control the components for the rows, the time span for the columns, and the view and filtering of the report.
  1. Access the
    Create/Edit Cash Forecast Report Definition
    task.
  2. Specify the
    Category
    to which the report belongs, such as cash forecasting or cash positioning.
  3. To define the columns of your report, select a
    Time Span Profile
    .
  4. Select how you initially want to view the report. There are 3 spreadsheet view options:
    Option Description
    Tree
    Displays the accumulation hierarchy as a tree on the left, while the right side displays the selected component and one level down.
    Navigation
    Enables you to drill down through the periods and accumulations.
    Spreadsheet
    Initially displays with the default report view and report profile. You change either from the related actions menu of the report instance. To edit, refresh, or publish the report, use action buttons.
  5. To associate the report with a default view, select a
    Default Report Profile
    .
  6. Specify the top-level
    Report Components
    and the
    Order
    in which they display as rows on the report.
    Workday automatically compiles the lower-level structure into the report based on your cash forecast component definitions. You do not have to select these lower-level components.
  7. Create a missing component by clicking the
    Add Component
    button.
Schedule cash forecast reports using your cash forecast report definition.
  • Run or schedule reports.
  • If you've modified a report definition that is used in unpublished reports, create a new report. Refreshing a report does not reflect report definition changes.
