Cash Management:
With SAP’s Cash Management and Electronic Banking modules, prior and same-day bank statements are loaded into the system and reconciled daily to quickly and accurately determine cash position. Companies can fully integrate their daily cash position on a real-time basis by combining all treasury-related activities with operational cash movements. Debt, investments, and foreign exposure contracts, are viewed concurrently with cash flows from accounts payable, accounts receivable, and bank accounting . Manual re-entry is eliminated which frees up resources to perform value-added analysis and troubleshoot transactional problems.

Redundant AP, AR and Treasury electronic payment systems can be eliminated by building one SAP payment platform to process all incoming and outgoing electronic disbursements and receipts. System support costs and fees are reduced as a result of fewer payment processes and external payment systems. Leveraging integrated SAP payment platform technology simplifies payment processes across organizations and reduces costs.

In-House Cash:
SAP’s powerful In-House Cash solution enables corporations to automate activities and processes involving; Payment Factories, Shared Service Centers, Netting Centers and In-House Banks. Within the enterprise one or more entities act as an in-house bank for their subsidiaries. Payment transactions between subsidiary account holders are recorded internally within In-House Cash, significantly reducing external transaction costs and simplifying the complex payment transactions that result from country-specific requirements.

The In-House Cash bank functionality can be deployed as a payment factory for external payments and receipts on behalf of subsidiaries, eliminating many of their payable and receivable bank accounts. Companies can streamline their banking structure with fewer accounts, reducing bank account maintenance fees. Substantial efficiencies can be achieved from establishing Shared Service Centers utilizing In-House Cash to centralize subsidiary payment processing.

The centralized In-House Cash bank allows corporations to pool funds more efficiently, reducing interest expense while maximizing investment interest gains. Centralized payment accounts eliminate IT support costs needed to maintain multiple subsidiary payment platforms.

By allowing companies to process payment transactions internally through a centralized in-house bank, SAP’s In-House Cash solution improves the efficiency of international payment transaction processing while optimizing cash flow within companies and maximizing interest gains. The resulting streamlined external banking structure also reduces the number of transactions required and cuts down on interest expenses and maintenance fees.

Accounts Payable:
The integration of accounts payable and treasury payment functions into one shared process enables corporations to maintain one centralized payment platform for straight-through processing of domestic and international electronic payments. The benefits are twofold: straight-through processing eliminates the need for error-prone manual entry and the centralized payment platform eliminates the need to maintain multiple payment processes.

By forming a centralized global payment network, the module eliminates the need for foreign and domestic subsidiaries to make individual payments and significantly lowers transaction costs by sending payments through international low-value clearing systems. The module updates accounts payable activity in Treasury’s daily cash position with real-time payment information.
