DHRP’s Cash Flow Forecast & Actuals Add-On for Dynamics 365
Cash Flow Forecast & Actuals Add-On for Microsoft Dynamics 365 brings forecasts, actuals, and transaction data into one tab. Finance teams can track expected inflows and outflows, compare actual results with forecasts, and plan for upcoming cash requirements. This add-on supports customer collections, vendor payments, different forecast periods, and multi-entity reporting.
When cash flow data is spread across spreadsheets and disconnected systems, it can be difficult to see what is coming in, what needs to be paid, and where cash gaps may arise. DHRP brings this information together so finance teams can review customer and vendor ageing, spot forecast variances, and make better decisions.

Accuracy Matters in Cash Flow Forecasting
Cash flow forecasting accuracy is important when finance teams use forecasts to plan spending, investments, supplier payments, and funding requirements. Comparing actual cash movements with forecasts also helps teams identify variances and improve future planning.
DHRP’s add-on supports this process by bringing forecast and actual cash flow information together with customer and vendor ageing data. Finance teams can review unpaid amounts and expected collections when assessing future cash requirements.
Common Cash Flow Challenges Businesses Face
Cash flow can change quickly as customer payments, supplier obligations, operating expenses, and financing requirements change. For CEOs and CFOs, having visibility into expected cash movements is important for maintaining healthy financial operations.
Businesses use cash flow forecasting to understand future inflows and outflows, identify potential shortfalls or surpluses, and plan spending, investing, and saving decisions. A reliable forecast gives finance teams more time to respond before a cash flow issue affects operations.
Unreliable Forecasts: Traditional methods make future cash inflows and outflows harder to predict.
Limited Visibility: Separate data sources make it harder to track the expected cash position.
Surprise Cash Gaps: Potential shortages can go unnoticed when inflows and outflows are not reviewed together.
Reactive Financing: Late visibility into cash needs can leave less time to arrange financing.
Seamless Implementation: Our team helps integrate the add-on with your Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations system.

Customer payments, business expenses, and funding requirements can quickly change your cash position. With DHRP, finance teams can review expected cash movements, monitor expenditure, identify late-paying customers, and test different scenarios before making financial commitments. This supports more proactive planning and reduces the risk of unexpected cash shortfalls affecting business operations.

Cash Flow Add-On: For Improved Financial Planning
Accuracy in Cash Flow Forecasting
According to Patrick Kunz, managing director of consultancy firm Pecunia Treasury & Finance, achieving 70–80% accuracy in cash flow forecasting (CFF) is regarded as a success. This add-on supports more structured forecasting by helping finance teams track expected cash movements, compare forecasts with actuals, and identify variances across forecast periods.
Predict Cash Shortfalls
Review forecasted inflows, outflows, and closing balances to identify periods where available cash may fall below expected requirements. This gives finance teams more time to review funding needs or adjust planned expenditure.
Make Informed Spending Decisions
Assess upcoming cash commitments against forecasted balances before making spending or investment decisions. Finance teams can use this information to determine how much cash is available for planned business activities.
Monitor Customer Payments
Use customer ageing and collection forecasts to track expected receipts and identify delayed payments. Understanding the timing of customer collections helps finance teams assess their impact on future cash positions.
Manage Vendor Commitments
Review forecasted vendor payables and upcoming payment obligations alongside expected cash inflows. This helps teams plan payment requirements and avoid unexpected pressure on available cash.
