Operating Cash Flow (OCF) is a modified type of Cash Flow report designed to show investors a picture of their day-to-day operations.
The Operating Cash Flow report does NOT reflect asset purchases via manual journal or fixed asset purchase. This prevents the occasional property purchase or CapEx transaction from heavily distorting your view of your more standard, day-to-day, and ongoing operational money in and money out.
The Operating Cash Flow reports show three filtered views: the OCF Statement, OCF by Property, and OCF by Period.
Understanding the Operating Cash Flow Reports
The first section OCF report details your Net Operating Income (NOI), broken down by Operating Revenues and Operating Expenses. NOI includes all of your operational costs except for financing-related items, which are reported in the next two sections.
The second section reports on debt service, including principal paydown and interest expenses.
The third section reports on escrow contributions. Click for more information on escrow contributions and expenses.

Operating Cash Flow allows you to specify the portfolio, sub-portfolio, property, or unit on which you wish to report and provides a single-column report.
Operating Cash Flow By Property is a multi-column report that shows a breakdown per property of either your entire portfolio or a specific sub-portfolio.
Operating Cash Flow By Period is a multi-column report that shows a date-based breakdown of a specific portfolio, sub-portfolio, property, or unit.
2) Select the Date Range and Portfolio Scope
For the Operating Cash Flow By Period, you will also set your desired Reporting Period (Monthly, Quarterly, Annually).
3) View and Export the Report
The Operating Cash Flow can be exported into Excel or PDF, downloaded directly to a computer, or emailed.
