A lady that works in the cost dept has come to me asking me the schedule to update her cash flow forecast report. I haven’t been requested that kind of information in previous jobs (although I don’t have that much experience). She told me "First, I want to understand the schedule, then try to see if it matches with the information that I have and then incorporate the information from your schedule into my cash flow report". By the latter, she meant she wants to match the dates of the activities with her billing forecast for those activities (or group of activities). She is inexperienced in cost and has been updating her report by asking to different people. I asked her what information she was going to take from the schedule and she repeated again that she wanted to understand it first.
How is the schedule actually related to a cash flow report? What information is she supposed to take from the schedule? My impression is that she wants to learn about scheduling.
