Cash Flow Projections Added to ArchAdministrator - Database for Architects

BLOOMFIELD, NJ, April 15, 2002 -- PS Software Solutions announced today that it has fully integrated cash flow projection reporting into its increasingly popular software program, ArchAdministrator. The new cash flow projection reports have been designed to simplify the task of predicting firm-wide cash flow for up to three years into the future! Projected payables are deducted from projected receivables to create tabular reports and bar charts that delineate projected profit/loss margins on a monthly basis. These projected profit/loss margins are then added to (or deducted from) the current account balance for any tracked bank account to determine a projected account running balance across as many as 36 months. A series of bar charts and tabular reports are provided that delineate the following:

* Side by side projected monthly receivables and payables 
* Projected monthly profits or losses 
* Projected monthly account running balances

The projected accounts payable report breaks down projected payments by month, payment category (or payee name) and is based on a budget that is quickly created in the Recurring Account Payables area of the Accounting Transactions module. Recurring payable records stipulate payment category, payee, payment due date and payment frequency. Tabular reports are automatically provided that delineate the following:

* Projected monthly payables sorted by payment category 
* Projected monthly payables sorted by payment payee name 
* Projected payables scheduled at any frequency (i.e. weekly, monthly, quarterly)

The projected accounts receivable tabular report breaks down projected receipts by month, project and phase. It is based on phase fees, payment schedules and consultant allowances stipulated in the proposal contract; and estimated phase start/end dates stipulated in the Project Scheduler module. The report incorporates payments previously paid to consultants in the accounting module and accurately incorporates consultant outstanding balances. The user can also specify the following customizable options when generating the projected receivables report:

* Bank account to apply projected profits/losses to 
* Account balance (program defaults to current account balance)
* Age projected receipt dates beyond scheduled completion dates (i.e. 30,60,90 days) 
* Select whether or not to apply consultant outstanding balances

The user even has the ability to include projected receipts for proposals that have not become active projects. The user can assign a "Probability of Activation" percentage to each Proposal/Contract and specify the minimum probability percentage that will be included in the receivables projection (i.e. specifying a probability of 70% will include all active projects and those proposals that have a probability of activation of 70% or higher).. This powerful feature and all the options listed above can be modified each time a projection report/chart is created.
