Explain SAP In-House Cash.

 
 

Multinational organizations often manage a complex network of international business units and banking relationships. An increase in affiliates has led to a significant rise in internal and external payments for international organizations, as well as an increase in bank accounts. SAP In-House Cash can help reduce the substantial costs associated with both cross-border payments and global, intracompany transactions. With SAP In-House Cash, international companies can centrally process the payments of their subunits by netting and consolidating internal accounts. This provides considerable savings in the administration of various bank accounts, as well as your internal and cross-national payments.
Through a central payment function, SAP In-House Cash helps you settle subunit debts with external business partners and transfer the payments to your affiliates. Local payment scenarios, by including the external bank accounts of subsidiaries, are also possible. As payments are made, the system immediately updates cash-position data within SAP Cash and Liquidity Management. This gives the cash manager a global view of the company’s incoming and outgoing cash flows. Additional SAP In-House Cash functions – such as those forcross-bank area postings – allow you to set up several in-house cash centers (for example, one per region) and enable automatic or manual currency exchange. The in-house cash center lets you monitor and aggregate various current account balances and plan incoming and outgoing payments for group companies over the medium term. This makes the process of controlling payment flows far more efficient. SAP In-House Cash also provides many account-management functions – such as calculating and debiting interest and charges, granting current account overdrafts, and generating bank statements for subsidiaries. You can configure the features and conditions of each account to meet your needs.
