• Key Concepts: 
  Cash flow view is a component of the Accounting for Financial Products (AFP) module in SAP. It provides a comprehensive overview of the cash flows associated with a financial product, such as a loan or an investment. It allows users to view and analyze the cash flows in both graphical and tabular formats. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the cash flow view, users must first create a financial product in the AFP module. Once the product is created, users can then access the cash flow view by selecting it from the list of available views. The cash flow view will then display all of the associated cash flows in either graphical or tabular format. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the cash flow view, it is important to remember that it only displays cash flows associated with a financial product. Therefore, if there are any other transactions that need to be included in the analysis, they must be manually added to the view. Additionally, users should take advantage of the graphical representation of the cash flows to quickly identify any potential issues or discrepancies. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The cash flow view is closely related to other components of the AFP module, such as the balance sheet view and the income statement view. Additionally, it can be used in conjunction with other SAP modules, such as Controlling (CO) and Financial Accounting (FI), to provide a more comprehensive analysis of financial products.
