You use groupings to stipulate the format for your display. Groupings select and structure the required dataset and are responsible for compiling the liquidity forecast.

The grouping defines which levels and planning groups the system should display in the liquidity forecast.

Liquidity Forecast Grouping Example

The above grouping contains the following data:

• All levels through the ++ masking

• All items in the contingent liability (bill of exchange) account

• Customer clearing accounts in which items are still not paid

• All customer and vendor accounts with a two-character planning group starting with O or I in the master record

The customer clearing accounts and the contingent liability (bill of exchange) accounts are included in the grouping for the liquidity forecast and are not included in the grouping for the cash position. In these accounts, customer-relevant items already in the bank account exist as one of the following:

• Cash inflow by bank transfer

• Cash inflow by credit memo for the discounted bill of exchange

To display the clearing accounts in addition to the subledger accounts, you must select both the Liquidity Forecast field and the Cash Position field in the request screen because the liquidity forecast references only data from subledger accounts.

Groupings are set up as part of system configuration. The procedure for this is described in the online implementation guide. See:
