Distribution: TR-CM Systems 

Treasury Workstation

Definition

The Treasury workstation is a TR-CM system that represents processes such as liquidity and risk analysis as well as transaction and position management in different systems.

SAP Cash and Liquidity Management is used as an interface both in the transporting basic system and in the Treasury Workstation. In the transporting basic system, the current liquidity status of the operative areas is updated, the relevant section is called up at defined points in time and imported to SAP Cash and Liquidity Management in the Treasury Workstation.

Use

You can use the Workstation if you represent different company units in local systems and have to bring them together for liquidity control purposes, or for concluding financial transactions.

This applies, for example,

·        for companies that run operative parts of their information processing  - such as procurement, sales, or accounting - on an SAP system or

·        for group headquarters that bring together the liquidity status of subsidiaries from various SAP systems.

 

Liquidity status:

In the Treasury workstation, you can aggregate evaluations of the liquidity status. This also allows you to evaluate cross-organizational units, for example, several company codes within a group structure.

Financial transactions:

The SAP Cash and Liquidity Management Data of the assigned systems provides the basis for financial investment and borrowing decisions. Financial transactions are managed entirely within the Treasury workstation, in other words, the SAP system. There, you can use all the management functions from the trading and back office processing functions, up to transferring the transactions to FI.

Risk status:

You can also use Market risk management in the Treasury workstation. This provides an integrated view of risk positions and different valuation methods for risk measurement.

After you have transferred the transactions to FI, you can use functions that enable you to transfer the information relevant to accounting to the operative systems. Some parts of the general ledger are managed in the SAP Financial Supply Chain Management Workstation and updated by means of Treasury management postings. From these accounts, the relevant documents are transferred to the general ledger of the basic system.
