Can the Cash Flow report display transactions recorded outside of the accounting ledger?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only if manually adjusted

4. Only for cash transactions

The correct answer is: No

The Cash Flow report in SAP Business One is specifically designed to reflect the financial activities that impact cash, as recorded within the accounting ledger. Since this report bases its data on transactions that have been properly entered into the system according to accounting standards, only transactions that are included in the accounting ledger will be reflected. This design ensures that the report accurately portrays the company's cash movements by consolidating financial data from the general ledger, where all relevant accounting transactions are recorded. Transactions recorded outside the accounting ledger, such as manual entries that do not affect the general ledger or those that have not been posted to the accounting entries, will not appear in the Cash Flow report. This ensures that users receive a clear, reliable view of cash flows that align with officially recognized accounting records. Hence, the design of the Cash Flow report inherently limits its visibility to transactions captured within the accounting framework, reinforcing that the proper answer is "No."
