OneStream Cash Planning
OneStream MarketPlace Solutions: Cash Planning
OneStream is a powerful financial platform to help businesses streamline their consolidation, planning, reporting, data quality, and financial signaling. To further expand on these areas, they developed OneStream MarketPlace Solutions. The OneStream MarketPlace gives you access to over 50 pre-configured solutions. Each one will help you perform a different planning and reporting function, such as cash planning.
Cash Planning
Cash Planning is a MarketPlace solution designed to support your company's financial planning process. Specifically, this tool enhances your cash forecasting capabilities by creating both top-down and bottom-up reports. With these resources, you can better understand the impacts of all the cash sources and uses in the business.
The Cash Planning solution integrates all cash-related accounts, including receivables, payables, investments, financing, capital expenses, and more.
Unify Your Cash-Flow Forecasting
Perhaps the most compelling reason to incorporate OneStream's Cash Planning solution into your integration is its ability to unify your forecasting efforts. It links seamlessly to capital planning, people planning, and other MarketPlace solutions so that you can generate the most accurate reports and forecasts.
Similarly, you can align your daily and weekly signals on receipt activity and bookings to your cash forecasts. This ensures that you are taking a truly comprehensive approach to cash-flow forecasting and will give your management the information needed to make timely strategic decisions.
Integrate with Other Scenarios
When you leverage OneStream's Cash Planning tool, you can fully align your cash flow models across long-range plans. This includes rolling forecasts, other income statement, and balance sheet scenarios, so you get a truly integrated view of your cash inflows and outflows.
Using the flow dimension for your balance sheet, you can make those accounts children of your cash flow accounts. These will need to have specific constraints defined only for their activity but setting it up in this manner allows you to automate your cash flow reporting.
Enhance Working Capital Planning
Another benefit of OneStream's Cash Planning solution is its ability to enhance your working capital planning. It defines modules for several different working capital scenarios so that you can address your individual business needs.
The working capital scenarios include the following business drivers: DSO, DPO, and DIO.
Summary
The Cash Planning solution is available as part of OneStream's MarketPlace Solutions. It allows you to model changes to your cash flow by adjusting receivables, payables, and other sources that impact your cash flow statement.
This powerful functionality can help you model investments and see expected returns, so you can make timely decisions on whether to move forward with projects or invest your cash flow elsewhere. Cash Planning also increases your visibility into your credit position. By reviewing these changes, you can determine potential impacts ahead of time.
Overall, this solution can help you automate your cash flow planning, forecasting, and analysis. Integrating Cash Planning as part of your initial integration can ensure that you correctly map accounts to automate cash flow and address balance sheet constraints.
