Cash Management

1 IntroductionCash Management in SAP ERP Financials provides three basic functions:

Quickly and reliably transfers all cash-relevant information from internal and external sources into the cash management system (inbound data)

Performs analysis and reporting of current and future cash flows to help you make cash management decisions (analysis and decision)

Communicates with banks and other business partners based on the results of the decision process (outbound data)

SAP ERP Financials offers the following tools, designed to make cash flows clear:

- The cash position, which illustrates short-term movements in the bank accounts

- The liquidity forecast, which illustrates medium-term movements in subledger accounts

The cash position shows how your bank accounts will move in the next few days. Meanwhile, the liquidity forecast illustrates liquidity changes in the subledger accounts. Functions are also supported which can be used to obtain relevant information on forecast payment flows. This information appears in the form of memo records in the cash position, or as planned items in the liquidity forecast.

This document will give you an overview how to use the SAP ERP Cash Management-functionality. The scenario includes the following sequence:

Posting of a vendor invoice in local and foreign currency Posting of a customer invoice in local currency (from a sales order) Posting of planning items and memo records Execution of the report showing cash position and the liquidity forecast. All posted

documents will be displayed on the value date basis. After posting the manual bank statement, the flow between the planning levels will be

demonstrated Due to the actual postings of the bank statement, the memo records will be archived

automatically (by using a special report). The function of cash concentration will illustrate how to identify the relevant amounts and

transfer them from one account to another.

1.1 PurposeThe cash position overview provides information on the current financial state of the bank accounts. It is the starting point for cash concentration in which the balances from various bank accounts are concentrated in one target account, taking minimum balances and payment optimization into consideration.

The example in this document shows a posting process that affects liquidity (customer invoice and incoming payment). It presents the main functions for retrieving information about the liquidity status.

4 Process Steps

4.1 Posting of a Planning Memo Record for Recurring Payments (Manual Planning)

UseThe following example describes how to enter a memo record. This example illustrates a monthly recurring payment. Since there is no invoice existing in FI, this memo record needs to be created, so the cash management report will include these expenses.

For archiving the advice, a report will compare the bank statement with the memo record. The memo item will be identified because of the amount and archived.

In case of differences, the result will be represented. Due to this functionality, the user has the possibility to decide whether the line item will be archived or not.

ProcedureEnter the memo record manually as described below:

1. Access the transaction choosing one of the following navigation options:


SAP ECC menu Accounting Financial Supply Chain Management Cash and Liquidity Management Cash Management Incomings Memo Record Create

Transaction code FF63




Business role Treasurer (SAP_NBPR_TREASURER-S)

Business role menu Cash Management Cash Management Planning Create Planning Memo Record



2. On the Create Memo Record: Initial Screen, make the following entries:


Company code 1000

Planning type any planning type <DI>

3. Choose Enter.

4. Enter the following data on the next screen Create Memo Record: Planned items:


Planning Day any date < current day>

Planning Group any planning group < A6>

Amount any amount < 15.000

Currency any currency < AED>

Assignment any text < Recurring tax>

5. Choose Enter and Copy.

6. Enter the following data on the next screen Create Memo Records: Copy Amount:


Number any number Enter number of memo records to be created (recurring payments) for example, 12

Increment in days/weeks/months

any number Determines the increment in days, weeks or months for the memo record copy function.

for example, 1 in the field for the month

Set to previous Friday/working day instead of skipping

select When selected, the date is shifted to the previous Friday instead of skipping the weekends (skipping to Monday).



7. Choose Enter.

8. Choose Save.


Or


ResultThe selected number of memo records (for example, 12) is generated and posted. The memo records have updated the financial status in cash management and can be found under the corresponding planning level (for example, DI).

4.2 Archiving the Memo Record

UseThe planning memo records of the cash position and the liquidity forecast are managed with this transaction. The system displays the memo records in a list. You can select an individual record for display and modification.

In the list, you can select memo records in order to transfer them afterwards into an archive. After they are archived, the records are no longer relevant to the cash position and liquidity forecast, but are still available for evaluations (for example, for calculating the average interest on fixed-term deposits from last year).

Memo records in the archive can be processed in a similar manner. To list these records, specify the required archive category during the transaction. The system displays a list of the memo records stored in this archive.

If such records are selected, they can then be reactivated later.

PrerequisitesThe bank statement has been processed.

4.3.3 Reprocessing an Account Statement

UseEvery time you post a manual account statement you must reprocess it, because the system cannot always clear all the items automatically.

4.4 Cash Concentration

UseBefore making cash management decisions, it is often advisable, for business reasons, to concentrate all your account balances in one target account.

Cash concentration is based on specified bank G/L accounts that are summarized under a dedicated grouping (for example, YCASHCONC).

4.4.1 Creating a Concentration Proposal

UseThe system generates a proposal for concentrating cash based on your grouping. This proposal contains the end-day-balance and the cash planning results, that is, the expected account transfers. You can correct the proposal at any stage manually by changing for example, the minimum amount, planned amount related to a certain bank account.

The system prints the outcome of the cash concentration process in the form of payment orders to banks. It also creates the payment advices needed for determining the new bank account balances.

PrerequisitesThe general ledger master data is maintained accordingly. The bank accounts show balances which are relevant for cash concentration (which excess the minimum balance specified during the cash concentration execution).
