Security:
Process: Cash Forecast Reporting
domain in the Cash Management functional area.
For recurring external cash activities, such as rent payments or controlled disbursements, you can create cash activity groups to:
  • Configure cash activity amounts to reoccur on a regular basis.
  • Distribute a specified cash activity sum amount across multiple days.
  1. Access the
    Create Recurring or Distributed External Cash Activity Group
    task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Currency
    Select the currency to use for the external cash activity transactions.
    On intraday cash position reports, you can select to display multicurrency transactions using the reporting currency or bank account currency.
    Debit/Credit
    The debit and credit transactions display as inflows and outflows on the cash position reports.
    Counterparty
    (Optional) Select a predefined counterparty, or create an ad hoc counterparty to associate with the payment or receipt. These include suppliers, customers, investors, or any user-defined counterparties.
    On the cash position reports, you can drill down on each cash activity to view the counterparty for the transaction.
    Processed
    (Optional) When Workday processes the pending external cash activity group, select to remove it from the calculated closing balance and update the bank account balances on intraday cash position reports.
    Worktags
    (Optional) Select a cash activity category worktag to associate with the transaction. The cash position reports use the worktags to group bank statement lines by the type of cash activity.
    If you don't select a worktag, Workday groups the transactions under
    Other Inflows
    or
    Other Outflows
    on the reports.
    Cash Activity Type
    Defines how the external cash activity amount appears in your cash position reports:
    • Distributed
      : Workday distributes the specified cash activity amount across a number of days from the start date.
      Example: You distribute a cash activity amount of
      100,000.00
      over
      5
      days. Workday creates 5 entries of 20,000.00 to display on each intraday cash position report.
    • Recurring
      : Workday includes the specified cash activity amount in each period within the date range.
Workday includes the external cash activities in your intraday cash position reports for the same company and bank account.
Use the
Find Recurring or Distributed External Cash Activity Group
report to review and track your recurring or distributed external cash activities.
You can also access the
Edit Recurring or Distributed External Cash Activity
task from the related actions menu of an external cash activity group to change its details, such as the cash activity dates or cash activity amounts, for a specified period.
