CASH MANAGEMENT
Prepared by Parag KasrekarPresented by Ameya Poredi
WHY CASH MANAGEMENT IS IMPORTANT? Cash is money that is easily accessible either
in the bank or in the business Most liquid of the current assets Take advantage of strategic investments Take advantage of opportunities to reduce
costs
Profit growth does not always mean more cash
EFFECTIVE CASH MANAGEMENT CAN HELP YOU
•Measure and monitor•Manage•Achieve cost savings•Ensure financial stability•Anticipate problems•Maximize results
Better cash management means more successful operations.
WHY FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING IS NOT SUFFICIENT Realize that cash flow and profit is not the
same thing It is important to understand that financial
accounting is not focused on cash flow It is focused on net income or profit Over the long term, profit and cash flow, are
approximately the same but the crucial difference is timing
CASH VS PROFIT Cash is ready money in the bank or in the
business Profit is the amount of money you expect to
make over a given period of time, while cash is what you must have on hand to keep your business running.
Profit growth does not necessarily mean more cash on hand
Over time, a company's profits are of little value if they are not accompanied by positive net cash flow.
You can't spend profit; you can only spend cash.
CASH FLOW Cash flow refers to the movement of cash
into and out of a business. The outflow of cash includes those checks
you write each month to pay salaries, suppliers, and creditors.
The inflow includes the cash you receive from customers, lenders, and investors.
CASH FLOWPositive Cash Flow
If its cash inflow exceeds the outflow, a company has a positive cash flow. A positive cash flow is a good sign of financial health, but is by no means the only one.
Negative Cash Flow If its cash outflow exceeds the inflow, a company has a negative cash flow. Reasons for negative cash flow include too much or obsolete inventory and poor collections on accounts receivable (what your customers owe you). If the company can't borrow additional cash at this point, it may be in serious trouble.
CASH FLOW Operating Cash Flow: Operating cash flow, often referred to
as working capital, is the cash flow generated from internal operations. It comes from sales of the product or service of your business, and because it is generated internally, it is under your control.
Investing Cash Flow: Investing cash flow is generated internally from non-operating activities. This includes investments in plant and equipment or other fixed assets, nonrecurring gains or losses, or other sources and uses of cash outside of normal operations.
Financing Cash Flow: Financing cash flow is the cash to and from external sources, such as lenders, investors and shareholders. A new loan, the repayment of a loan, the issuance of stock, and the payment of dividend are some of the activities that would be included in this section of the cash flow statement.
LIQUIDITY There term liquidity is often used in
combination with cash management. Liquidity is defined as a company's ability to
pay its short-term debt obligations. How is liquidity measured:
Current ratio Quick ratio
CASH MANAGEMENTGood cash management is simple. It involves: Knowing when, where, and how your cash
needs will occur Knowing the best sources for meeting
additional cash needs Being prepared to meet these needs when
they occur, by keeping good relationships with bankers and other creditors
The starting point for good cash flow management is developing a cash flow projection.
CASH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMThe tasks of a cash management system
include: Analyzing financial transactions within
agreed posting periods. Identifying and mapping future trends in
financial budgeting as accurately as possible. Cash concentration
BANK – A MAJOR LINK IN FSCM A major player in a business’s financial
supply chain Products and services flow from suppliers,
through to producers, to customers. Cash flows in the opposite direction
You can deal effectively with your bank by thinking of it as another supplier, albeit an important one
As is the case with any service provider, you want to be proactive and try to understand things from their perspective
BANK – A MAJOR LINK IN FSCMYour bank may actually play several different
roles:•Services in connection with bank accounts,
routine processing, and other related services
•Sources of credit•Sources of investment of excess funds
WHY SAP CASH MANAGEMENT Most businesses have too many bank
accounts, held at too many different banks. This makes it difficult to keep an overview of the relevant account balances. As banks send statements daily, precise, value-date accounting often does not take place.
Businesses miss out on the full benefits of investment instruments because value date information is lacking. Payments are often made from one account only, regardless of whether it contains sufficient funds.
WHAT SAP CASH MANAGEMENT DOES?SAP Cash Management offers the following
tools, designed to make cash flows clear: The cash position, which illustrates short-
term trends in the bank accounts The liquidity forecast, which illustrates
medium-term trends in sub-ledger accounts too
Thus, SAP Cash Management caters to Short- to – mid term liquidity planning. For medium – to – long term liquidity analysis and planning we can use SAP Liquidity Planner.
SAP CASH MANAGEMENT REPORTS The cash position illustrates trends in bank
accounts over the next few days. The liquidity forecast, on the other hand,
illustrates liquidity changes in the sub-ledger accounts.
Functions that enable to gain relevant information on expected forecast payment flows are also supported. This information appears in the form of memo records in the cash position, or as planned items in the liquidity forecast.
CASH POSITION SAP Cash
Management uses the cash position to reflect movements in bank accounts, while movements in the sub-ledger accounts are represented using the liquidity forecast.
LIQUIDITY FORECAST The liquidity forecast is
based on payments from/to customers and vendors in accordance with the open items. As planning for incoming and outgoing payments covers a larger time frame, the probability of the payments occurring on the day given is less than in the cash position.
SAP CASH MANAGEMENT Helps to get Cash Position and Liquidity
Forecast depending upon Planning Level Planning Types (classifying cash-flows entered
manually/ for linking Memo records with Planning Levels)
Planning Source (further breakdown of Planning Levels-Bank or subledger a/c)
Planning Groups (assigned to customers and vendors)

CASH POSITION AND LIQUIDITY FORECAST Both reports contain levels. These supply high-quality
information on the commercial reasons for a movement in an account - that is, they explain how the account opening and closing balances came about. For example, levels give information on whether a balance in a bank account is the result of a bank posting or of a memo record entered manually. They can also be classified according to how secure the receipt is (confirmed or unconfirmed memo record, for example).
In the cash position, accounts (bank and bank clearing accounts) supply information on the current balance. The liquidity forecast contains groups instead of accounts. Vendors and customers are assigned to a planning group by means of an entry in the master records. Each group reflects certain features, procedures, or risks.
CASH POSITION A snapshot of actual cash balances across
different cash accounts. Planning Levels assigned to G/L accounts Planning Types for manual planning (memo
records) linked with Planning Levels Memo Records:
to include additional information which involves incoming and outgoing payments that do not trigger actual postings in Cash Management.
DEPENDENCIES ON OTHER MODULES Cash Management does not hold or generate
any business transactions. It pulls data from other modules namely- GL, AP, AR, Banking, MM, SD, Treasury Management (TRM) and displays it through the two reports – Cash Position and Liquidity forecast.

PREREQUISITES - CASH POSITION Process any outgoing payments or Lockbox
processing Perform manual/electronic check deposit Import and process any manual / electronic
bank statement Create / upload memo records, if any
Why required?These activities actually update the bank accounts and the bank clearing accounts, i.e., the corresponding GL accounts in SAP, thus giving the latest cash position.
TRIGGERS Creation of Purchase Order (PO) – Liquidity Forecast is updated with
value of PO as a commitment based on the schedule lines entered in the Purchase Order
Vendor posting - Liquidity Forecast is updated with value of invoice based on the payment terms
Creation of Sales Order (SO) – Liquidity Forecast is updated with value of SO as a commitment based on the schedule delivery date entered in the Sales Order
Customer posting – Liquidity Forecast is updated with value of invoice based on the payment terms
Bank Posting - Cash Position is updated with document value based on the value date for bank main, outgoing and incoming accounts
Posting to GL relevant to planning level – Cash Position and Liquidity Forecast is updated with relevant document value (E.g. Tax Payable Accounts, Fixed Deposits Accounts etc.)
Creation of Memo Records – The memo records have updated the financial status in cash management and can be found under the corresponding planning level

CASH CONCENTRATION
CASH CONCENTRATION Cash concentration involves moving the
balances from various bank accounts to one target account, keeping defined minimum balances in the source accounts.
The system creates a concentration proposal based on the grouping.

The proposal contains the balance for the end of the day, and the planning result -that as, the likely account transfers.
Generate Payment Requests The result is printed and takes the form of
payment orders to the banks. Process Payment Run
Payment advices are also created. They are necessary for the new bank balance at value date.
