Process documentation Process Flow of Cash Concentration Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Cash concentration takes place as follows:

The system begins with an account on the highest (numerically speaking) hierarchy level, and processes all the accounts on this hierarchy level. It then processes the account on the next hierarchy level, which means that the root account is processed last.

Amounts are transferred from the superior account to the next account below in the structure, if the balance falls below the minimum amount. Amounts in excess of the maximum balance are transferred from an account to the next account above in the structure.

Account-specific overdraft/credit limits are not taken into consideration. If you want such a limit to be taken into consideration, you must specify it as minimum balance in the hierarchy.

For the transfer to a superior account, only those amounts are included that exceed the minimum transfer amount. For amounts transferred from superior to subordinate accounts, only the minimum transfer amount of the subordinate accounts are taken into consideration.

Once a hierarchy level has been worked through, the superior hierarchy level is processed.

Minimum and maximum balances (with the exception of the root account) are allowed to differ from the minimum and maximum amounts in the following cases only:

·        If you round off the carry forward amounts (which you can set up) the minimum and maximum amounts do not need to be matched.

·        If a minimum transfer amount is specified, it is possible that a minimum balance is not reached or that a maximum balance remains exceeded. The system only checks the defined minimum transfer amount after rounding off.

As a result of a cash concentration run, the system increases the date for the next due cash concentration run in the account master record.
