2.       Report main part – Key Figures

(1) Opening Balance:

Opening balance of the first reporting date is the value date opening balance confirmed by banks, technically speaking, it is the aggregated actual cash flows from One Exposure, could be from Bank Statement, FI Postings on bank G/L accounts, bank balance uploaded via excel, Liquidity Planner actuals or distributed cash management actuals during the period from 1900.01.01 to the day before reporting date.

Opening balance for the following dates are the same as closing balance of the previous date.

(2) Cash Flows:

Cash Flows of the first reporting date is the combination of cash flows whose value date is on the reporting date and before reporting date, so that, overdue cash flows can influence future forecasted balance.

Cash flows of the following dates are only flows whose value dates are on that specific date.

Cash flows show the important attributes: planning level, planning group, liquidity item and direction of cash movements.

Here cash flows are not only forecasted cash flows, most of them are forecasted flows, but if there is actual cash flow whose value date is in future, those flows are also shown as cash flows (for example, with planning level F0).

All cash flows are from One Exposure (FQM_FLOW) and Memo Records (FDES).

(3) Closing Balance:

Closing balance always equals opening balance + cash flows.

(4) Overdue:

Overdue shows all forecasted cash flows (no actuals) whose value dates are before the first reporting date.

(5) Reporting dates for next 7 days

(6) Later:

Later shows all forecasted cash flows whose value dates are after the last reporting date.
