Configure Cash Flow Forecasting in Dynamics 365 for Finance

D.

To configure cash flow forecasting in Dynamics 365 for Finance to meet the needs of the client, the correct option is D. On the Cash flow forecasting setup form, use the Dependent Accounts setup to specify which account and percentage is associated with the main account.

Cash flow forecasting in Dynamics 365 for Finance allows businesses to forecast their cash inflows and outflows over a specified period. By using the cash flow forecasting feature, businesses can plan and make informed decisions about their financial operations.

To configure cash flow forecasting, follow the below steps:

1. Navigate to Cash and bank management > Cash flow forecasting > Cash flow forecasting setup.
2. On the Cash flow forecasting setup form, click on the "Dependent Accounts" tab.
3. In the Dependent Accounts setup, specify which account is associated with the main account, and assign a percentage to that dependent account.
4. Repeat this process for each dependent account that needs to be associated with the main account.

This configuration allows the system to calculate the expected cash inflows and outflows for each dependent account based on the percentage assigned to it in relation to the main account.

Option A, to configure the primary main account to assign a percentage to the dependent account, is incorrect because it does not take into account the configuration of multiple dependent accounts associated with the main account.

Option B, to configure the parent/child relationship for the main account and subaccounts by using appropriate percentages, is also incorrect because it refers to a different feature, which is the chart of accounts hierarchy.

Option C, to configure the cash flow forecasting setup for Accounts Payable before configuring vendor posting profiles, is incorrect because it is not related to the question asked, and it is not necessary to configure cash flow forecasting for Accounts Payable specifically.
