Cash Flow Template

The Cash Flow Template makes it easy to consume gl accounts (operating activities, investment activities, net change in cash, etc.) and their balances based on parameters of Subsidiary, Fiscal Year, Fiscal Period, and Period Range. Because Cash Flow statements can't have an opening balance, the only Period Range options for this template are PTD and RTD.

Utilizing the Cash Flow Template

  1. Select Standard Reports > Cash Flow Template
  2. View the new sheet that has been created called Cash Flow
  3. Fill in all required parameters (asterisks by the names)
  4. Select the now activated button in the ribbon under Actions of Load Accounts. Finsyte will go to NetSuite to return the appropriate list of GL Account numbers and balances based on the identified Subsidiary input.

Remarks

  • The returned tree structure of GL Accounts matches what you will see in NetSuite for the Financial Report: Cash Flow.
  • Review the Subsidiary column in the GL Accounts list to understand which accounts utilize which subsidiaries. The SubsidiariesHasAccess column generated by Finsyte can also be insightful for this.
  • If a change is made to the subsidiary input field in your template, please select Load Accounts again to properly return the correct account list as it may change.
  • Aggregate functions are utilized on the totals for groups in the financial statement to ensure proper totaling.
  • The accounts under Liabilities and Equity have reversed signs for totaling purposes.
Note

Example Cash Flow Statement

  2. Fill in the parameters (required with *) at the top of the sheet and select Load Accounts to get full account list with account balances and totals.
