Mastering NetSuite’s Cash 360 SuiteApp: A Guide to Cash Flow Visibility and Forecasting Efficiency
For businesses managing complex operations and dynamic cash positions, real-time insight into cash flow isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. That’s where NetSuite’s Cash 360 SuiteApp comes in. Designed to enhance cash visibility and streamline forecasting, Cash 360 gives finance teams the clarity and control needed to support smarter, faster decision-making.
In this guide, we’ll walk through what Cash 360 is, how it works, and how to make the most of its powerful features.
What Is Cash 360?
Cash 360 is a dashboard-based SuiteApp that provides a real-time view of your company’s cash position. It combines receivables, payables, bank balances, and future inflows and outflows into one consolidated view. With direct links to key records and reports, finance users can move from high-level visibility to actionable detail in just a few clicks.
Available for free in the NetSuite SuiteApp Marketplace, Cash 360 is currently supported in the NetSuite Classic and Accounting Centers.
Key Features and Use Cases
1. Interactive Cash Management Dashboard
The Cash 360 dashboard includes:
Real-time cash projections visualized via graphs and charts
At-a-glance views of current payables, receivables, and bank balances
A/P and A/R aging pie charts
Quick access to invoices, bills, and related reports
Support for multi-subsidiary and consolidated cash views
2. Flexible Forecasting
Users can set their cash forecast view by days, weeks, or months, helping teams understand short- and mid-term liquidity with greater flexibility.
3. Automated Forecasts from GL History
Cash 360 allows you to define account categories based on general ledger accounts to drive more accurate, system-generated forecasts.
4. Custom Inflow and Outflow Adjustments
In addition to system-derived projections, you can add manual inflow or outflow lines for events like financing, capital investments, payroll, taxes, or large one-time expenses. This provides a more complete picture of upcoming liquidity needs.
5. Installment Transaction Support
If your business deals with installment-based payments, Cash 360 can include those in your forecasts and reporting. These are reflected in dashboard visuals and forecast tables, ensuring accuracy in projections.
6. Forecast Detail and CSV Export
The Forecast Details table shows projected inflows and outflows in a digestible format. You can export opening balances, receivables, payables, and other forecast details to CSV for offline analysis or board reporting.
