Starting a CMA report

Getting to New CMA Report, and the three choices the form asks you to make.

Three numbered choices, then the workspace opens.

Getting there

Clientspick oneCMA ReportsNew CMA report

If you made one for this client last year, OptiVida says so and offers to carry your projections forward.

1. Data source

Where the historical figures come from.

From Tally: OptiVida asks Tally which financial years it holds, and you tick the ones to import. The usual route.
From an ITR JSON: Upload the income tax return. Useful when the books are not to hand but the return is.
Enter it yourself: Skip the import and get an empty grid with the right rows.

Tip

Each is covered in Choosing a data source.

2. Financial year and columns

Which years the report covers.

Estimated Yearrequired: The year being prepared for.
Historical Years: How many past years to show. Banks commonly want two or three.
Projected Years: How many future years. You supply these figures.

Ask the bank what they want before choosing. Adding a year later means figures for it.

3. Bank template

The layout the report is produced in.

Generic CMAAvailable: The standard layout. Use it unless the bank has asked for their own.
Bank of BarodaAvailable: BOB's own format.
State Bank of IndiaComing soon
Punjab National BankComing soon
Canara BankComing soon

Note

Where a bank's own format is not yet available, Generic CMA is the fallback and is accepted by most lenders. Ask before assuming.

Create report

Create report, at the foot of the page, and the workspace opens. If you imported from Tally, ledgers have already been mapped to CMA lines and the report is Auto-mapped, waiting for your review.

Nothing has been charged. The report is a draft until you generate.
