Fields(Detailed Overview)

In XoroERP's cash flow statement, the structure is organized into three distinct columns: Cash Flow Class, Account Name, and Amount. Let's delve into each of these components from a technical perspective:

1. Cash Flow Class: This column categorizes cash flows into different classes based on their nature and source. The three primary cash flow classes are:

   • Operating Activities: This class encompasses cash flows directly related to the company's core operations. It includes activities such as cash receipts from sales, payments to suppliers, salaries paid to employees, and other expenses incurred in day-to-day business operations. Operating activities are crucial as they reflect the company's ability to generate cash from its primary business activities.

   • Investing Activities: Cash flows categorized under investing activities are associated with the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets. This includes cash flows from buying or selling property, equipment, investments in securities, and other noncurrent assets. Investing activities provide insights into how the company is investing its resources for future growth and expansion.

   • Financing Activities: Financing activities involve cash flows related to the company's capital structure and financing arrangements. This includes cash received from issuing equity or debt instruments, repayments of loans, dividends paid to shareholders, and other financing-related transactions. Monitoring financing activities helps assess the company's financial leverage and its ability to raise capital.

2. Account Name: This column specifies the name of the account under which cash flow transactions are recorded. Each transaction is associated with a specific account name, providing detailed visibility into the source or destination of cash flows within the organization. Account names may include categories such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, investments, loans, and equity accounts, among others.

3. Amount: The Amount column represents the numerical value of cash flows associated with each cash flow class and account name. It indicates the amount of cash provided or used by the respective cash flow activities during the reporting period. Amounts may be positive (indicating cash inflows) or negative (indicating cash outflows), depending on the nature of the cash flow activity.
