      The time has come to use the forecaster again, so I’m going for v5.1.5

      Unfortunately, the user guide downloaded as an XPS file which I can’t open – are you able to send it to me as a pdf?

      I am sure it’ll have the answers, but at the moment, I can’t figure out how to set the customer payment terms – the ‘customer payment terms’ seems to have vanished, and in the terms field on ‘data’ I just get a drop down list from -21 to +12.. I’m confused!

      Many thanks.

      Paul

        Hello Paul,

        Thank you for your question.

        I will look at creating the PDF format user guide for you.

        Regards and XPS file, if you’re using a PC, this article may help, so long as you’ve got Windows 8 or later: http://www.novapdf.com/kb/convert-xps-to-pdf-216.html

        In the mean time, regarding the customer payment terms; the 1 to 12 represents the number of months the customer takes to pay you. So for example, if your customers pay you in 30 days, select ‘1’, whereas if they pay you in 60 days, select ‘2’ etc.

        The negative payment terms is so you can include advanced payments from customers.

        I hope this helps you move on with your cash flow forecasts.

        By the way, similar rules apply for the supplier payment terms too.

          Thanks Russell

          Things were a bit fraught at the time – and I forgot to reply, sorry!

          I had a feeling you were going to try and enable certain depreciation lines being treated as a direct cost – or did I imagine that?

            Hello Paul,

            Yes you are correct.

            To change depreciation for any asset you do this on the ‘Data’ screen for each asset. on the column ‘Cost of Sale’ select ‘Yes’ and this will put the depreciation of that asset above the line or as a part of cost of sales.
