SAP CashPooling

The SAP Cash and Liquidity Management cash pooling function enables you to map cash pools in the SAP system, simulate automated account transfers, and execute them independently.

The aim is to achieve an optimum distribution of funds. Interest charges are reduced and the company’s liquidity is increased. Funds that are freed up can be invested profitably. In addition, cash management establishes processes for monitoring and approving payments, as well as for automated account reconciliation and cash pooling.

SAP LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT LIQUIDITY PLANNER

SAP Liquidity Management allows you to analyze past actual cash flows and forecast medium-term liquidity development. Reliable planning enables you to take out loans in good time, invest funds in a way that maximizes returns, and carry out forward-looking financial planning.

It also offers a monitoring function for the planning status with a variance analysis of actual, planned, and forecast data. Liquidity planning accesses the operational data in the SAP S/4HANA system for forecast cash flows and actual cash flows.

SAP Liquidity Management includes various Fiori apps with the following range of functions:

LIQUIDITY FORECAST ANALYSIS

Fiori apps enable you to predict medium- to long-term liquidity development. You can get an overview of liquidity and display details of the expected amounts for each item.

ANALYSIS OF ACTUAL CASH FLOWS

You can get an overview of daily cash inflows and outflows and analyze them over the last few weeks or months for all subsidiaries and liquidity positions. You can then identify unusual cash flows and ensure that they are correct.

ROLLING LIQUIDITY PLANNING

You can analyze liquidity based on actual, planned, and forecast data, as well as alerts on the difference between current plans and previous plans, to find out which payment obligations need to be met and whether investments or financing need to be made.

You can also develop a liquidity plan for a new planning cycle with an approval process.
