Foretelling - Budgeting and Cash Flow Management

Summary


In this chapter, we have learned what dimensions are and we have seen that they are a tool for tagging all our ledger entries. They allow you to analyze the data saved in the system in a manner that is useful to your company. We have learned to analyze data on screen, using filters, flowfilters, and charts. We have also learned about reports, an out of the box way of analyzing data. Account schedules are a tool that helps us analyze data from ledger entries, and so are analysis views. Analysis views are also useful to analyze financial groups by dimensions. Finally, we saw how to link Excel with our Dynamics NAV database to be able to use the Business Intelligence tools included in Excel.

In the next chapter, we are going to take a look at different predictive tools included in Dynamics NAV, such as budgets or cash flow foretelling.
