The security level in the SAP Business One Cash Flow report indicates the certainty of a future cash flow event. The system automatically assigns a default security level to each transaction based on its origin or type. For example, a posted A/R invoice represents a legal obligation and is assigned a high security level (e.g., 'Confirmed'), whereas a sales order represents a future potential receivable and is assigned a lower security level (e.g., 'Probable'). This initial assignment is directly influenced by the type of source document, reflecting its stage in the business process.

A. The due date of the transaction: The due date determines when the cash flow is expected to occur in the report's timeline, not its level of certainty.

C. The payment terms of the transaction: Payment terms are used to calculate the due date of a transaction, which influences timing, but not the inherent security level.

D. The amount of the transaction: The amount defines the magnitude or value of the potential cash flow, not the probability or certainty of its occurrence.

1. SAP Business One 10.0 Help Portal: In the documentation for the "Cash Flow Forecast" window

under the "Certainty Level" field description

it is explained that the system proposes a certainty level for each transaction based on its origin. For instance

an open A/R invoice is considered more certain than a sales order. (SAP Business One 10.0 Documentation

Financials Module -> Financial Reports -> Cash Flow Forecast).

2. SAP Training Course TB1200 (SAP Business One - Logistics): Unit 8: Financials

in the section covering the Cash Flow Forecast

details how different source documents (transaction origins) like invoices

orders

and down payments are assigned different default certainty levels to reflect their varying degrees of commitment. (TB1200ENCOL10

Financials).
