Configure Balance Sheet and Cash Flow assumptions

Driver settings for the Balance Sheet and Cash Flow calculator are applied from the scenario you select in the Refresh Variables dialog when you open the calculator. You can edit assumptions specific to the calculator in the Balance Sheet Assumptions settings of the Drivers utility.

NOTE: To edit driver settings, you must have the Rolling Forecast Global Management role in addition to either the RF Admin or RF Analyst role. Records you can view depend on your RF Plan Group permissions set up in the Drivers Security Utility.

  1. If you have not already done so, create a balance sheet group before continuing.

  2. In the RF Admin task pane under Setup, double-click Drivers.

  3. In the Filters panel, from the Scenario for Driver Settings drop-down, select the scenario to associate with the calculator.

  4. Click the Balance Sheet Assumptions tab.

  5. (Optional) To change the range of columns used in this setting:

    1. Click Column View.

    2. In the Column Views dialog, click the Select Visible Columns arrow.

    3. In the pop-up dialog, select the months to include, and then click OK.

    4. In the Column Views dialog, click OK.

  6. In the Global Assumptions section, enter an increase or decrease as a percentage for any listed assumption and for each month, as needed.

  7. To add an assumption to a balance sheet group (RFGroup.BalanceSheetGrp level), complete the following steps in the Balance Sheet Group Assumptions section:

    1. Click + Insert New Balance Sheet Group Assumptions.

    2. From the Select BalanceSheetGrp drop-down, select the balance sheet group.

    3. For any of the listed assumptions, enter percentage adjustments for the needed months.
