SAP Treasury and Cash Management (TR)

The Treasury / cash management / basic functions sub module contains functionality that you may expect to find in FI:

Functionality	Comment
Cheque deposit	This transaction can be used to record cheques received, print deposit slips and makes appropriate postings to the GL (Bank clearing accounts and AR customer accounts. Configuration is partially shared with the bank statement load.
Cheques cashed (manual entry or automatic entry upload)	This program updates the payment documents with cashed information and makes appropriate GL postings for cash flow forecasting.
Bank Statement Load (manual entry or automatic entry upload)	This transaction or program reconciles the bank statement with the incomings and outgoings that have been entered via the payment program, cheque deposit or manual transactions entered.
Cash Position and Forecast	This transaction can provide a view of all Bank and financial (loan etc) accounts, customer and vendor expected incomings and outgoings, as well as commitments (purchase orders) and possible sales. Memo items can be added to complete the picture. These can all be classified by degree of certainty of payment date and you could configure the option to 'distribute' amounts over time periods for 'uncertain' groupings. This is actually surprising easy to implement once you understand how it works. Surprise your client - or at least the treasurer - and deliver more than expected. The design and configuration is best done when you first set up your customer, vendor and GL accounts anyway so that the appropriate settings are made - no rework.

Before you implement any of the above, you need to have an understanding of the terminology and the GL accounts that the SAP TR module expects in this area, and how they are meant to work together.
