Various Enhancements in Cash Management
Scope of Functions
The following programs now include a parameter for translating payment advices into account currency:
- Manually Compare Payment Advices with Bank Account (RFFDIS45)
- Compare Payment Advice with Bank Statement (RFFDIS46)
This means that advices entered in a currency other than the account currency can now be compared with the bank account or bank statement and, if required, automatically archived.
When defining groupings for cash concentration, you can now enter a summarization company code as well as a summarization account (view V_T038).
For cash concentration, you can now define a minimum payment advice amount in Customizing in each account. (Previously, you could only enter such a minimum in the cash concentration screen; it then applied to all the accounts being concentrated.)
In addition, for each account, you can enter two tolerance values for the planned balance - one for excesses and one for deficits. No transfer takes place if the account balance lies between the two tolerance values.
(Note: Before Release 4.6C, the "planned balance" was called the "minimum balance".
When updating cash concentration payment advices, you can enter separate clearing accounts for the debit and credict postings in Customing. If you make no changes in the customizing view (V_T018C), the existing postings continue to apply.
(Note: If you do not use program RFFDBU00 to post the payment advices, but convert them into payment requests first so that the payment program can pay them, the clearing accounts are irrelevant.)
The business area no longer appears in the initial screen for payment advice/plan item memo records. It now appears in the detail screen.
This has the following advantages:
- You can use field status maintenance to hide the business area or designate it a required entry (view V_T037_1).
- You can now change the business area by overwriting it.
The liquidity forecast includes a new parameter, "Include Payment Dates" with selections for vendors and customers. You can use this to change the liquidity forecast display so that the amounts are not displayed as of their respective planning dates, but on the payment date. werden.
If you branch from the liquidity forecast to the line items, the resulting display shows the items assigned to this payment date.
To use this new function, maintain the new view, V_T035Z. For more information, refer to the F1 help for the parameter and the selections.
The cash position has a new parameter, "Account instead of account name". If you select it, the display shows the accounts intead of their cash management account names.
The cash position and liquidity forecast have an additional presentation graphic. The function text is "Chart". The graphic shows the balance in each case.
The link to Real Estate Management, realized in 4.6A, now also supports vendor updates. (For more information, including on the prerequisites for the Real Estate Management update, refer to the documentation for program RFFDIM00, which you can use to reconstruct Cash Management from Real Estate Management.)
The Cash Management implementation tool (transaction FDFD) now includes a "Check Customizing" function. If the system finds errors, the error messages are displayed in a list, along with the relevant defective entries and the names of the tables or views concerned.
