      <Paragraph>A cash flow statement provides information about the history of
		the cash flow. The statement provides an overview of the sources and uses for
		cash, and helps the Management to assess the ability of the company to meet its
		short-term obligations. In some countries, a cash flow statement must be
		submitted to authorities periodically.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>In ERP Enterprise,
		you use reason codes to distinguish the various sources and uses for cash. In
		the sessions in which you maintain or view the cash transactions, you can enter
		or view the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000471" role="glossary">cash flow reason</Link>. On the cash flow statement, the cash
		flow transactions are grouped by cash flow reason.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>ERP Enterprise maintains the opening balances for cash flow transactions per year. In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld2118m000" role="session">Opening Balance Cash Flow (tfgld2118m000)</GUIRef> session, you can enter an opening balance
		manually, if necessary.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>The cash flow statement</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>To define a cash flow statement, you group cash flow reasons
		into <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000496" role="glossary">cash flow reason groups</Link>. Next, you group the cash flow
		reason groups into parent cash flow reason groups. A cash flow statement can
		contain one or several parent cash flow reason groups.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>On the cash flow statement, ERP Enterprise prints the total
		amounts of each parent cash flow reason group and the subtotals for each child
		cash flow reason group.</Paragraph>
