Cash 360 Enhancements in NetSuite 2023.2

Starting in NetSuite 2023.2, the Cash 360 dashboard has received a series of significant enhancements aimed at improving cash management insights across subsidiaries. These updates streamline the way companies can access financial data and forecast their cash positions, contributing to more informed decision-making.

Key Enhancements

Broader Subsidiary Visibility

One of the major upgrades is the ability to view cash projections not just for the selected subsidiary but also for other active subsidiaries, including consolidated subsidiaries. This provides users with a more holistic view of cash management across the organization, enabling better financial oversight.

Updated Opening Balance Calculations

The opening balance amount displayed in Cash 360 now reflects the cumulative total of all bank-type accounts in the subsidiary’s chart of accounts, but only up to the current posting period. This adjustment ensures that the figures are accurate and relevant to current financial scenarios.

Comprehensive Cash Forecasting

Previously, the cash forecast table considered only invoices for accounts receivable (A/R) and vendor bills for accounts payable (A/P). With the enhancements, all posting transactions that contribute to A/R and A/P calculations are now included. This means a more complete and accurate cash forecast, allowing for better financial planning.

Inclusion of Future-Dated Transactions

Users can now incorporate future-dated transactions in their cash forecasts. This feature allows users to specify date ranges that fall into the next posting period and receive insight into future cash impacts. Notably, these future-dated transactions will also contribute to total closing balance calculations, making forecasts even more precise.

Interactive Cash Forecast Table

The cash forecast table has become more interactive. Users can click on various amounts (including opening balance, future-dated transaction amounts, A/R, and A/P) to open windows that list all accounts contributing to these calculations. This feature enhances transparency and simplifies the process of auditing cash forecast entries. Additionally, users can export this list of transactions as a CSV file for further analysis or reporting purposes.

• Administrators: Need to set up and configure the Cash 360 dashboard to exploit these enhancements fully.
