Revenue Forecast

Use this report to forecast the receipts due now and in the forthcoming accounting periods. The application calculates the expected revenue dates based on the due date of the invoices, the average debtor days calculated for individual customer accounts, or the company debtor days calculated for all customers.

The account debtor days and company debtor days are available if three periods of transaction history exist. The history is created when the Sales - Utilities - Period End command is run.
