  1. Hello Saurabh,
    thanks for this very detailed and useful document on cash flow forecast calculation.
    Still, I am struggling to understand where system takes the receipt date of the PO when the product receipt is not yet generated/posted.
    I have done several tests and it turned out that the receipt date is always today’s date, which is a bit weird and not very real-scenario.
    Do you have any insight on this?
    Thank you!

    • Hi Valentina, this can be due to your order date and today’s date or expected ship date .can you please try by keeping dates different and see if you observe the difference.

      Also hope you have seen date parameters in part -1 .
