SAP Treasury & Risk ManagementFor the financing and hedging of your

operative business

One of the main tasks in Treasury is the hedging of

the operative business and ensuring optimal liquidi-

ty for the company. Often, details for the financial

instruments deployed are only managed in simple

documents without system support. The solution

SAP Treasury & Risk Management provides a se-

cure and efficient method for managing all financial

instruments (from short-term financing to strategic

investments) and delivers an overview of the entire

life cycle of an operative business from the crea-

tion of receivables or payables to hedging the cash

flows in your treasury department. This approach of

SAP helps identify risks earlier, improve control,

maximize finance potential and ultimately ensures

optimal liquidity levels.

The Transaction Manager is the centrepiece of the

SAP Treasury & Risk Management. Here you can

process all types of financial transactions including

money market & loans, foreign exchange, derivati-

ves, securities and commodities. Parallel accounting

and hedge accounting functionalities are the ele-

mentary components of this solution. The following

three Analyzers constitute the Transaction Manager.

The Market Risk Analyzer facilitates the calculation

of present values and risk indicators such as dura-

tion, convexity and BPV to VaR models using the

three common methods (historic simulation, vari-

ance-covariance approach, Monte Carlo simulati-

on). This helps companies keep an eye on the risks

from operative cash flows as well as from hedging

and investment activities in money and capital mar-

kets. Modern options for the simulation, such as

market data shifts and market data scenarios, allow

the modelling of what-if analyses and worst-case

scenarios.

The Portfolio Analyzer helps measure the perfor-

mance, i.e. it exactly analyzes the success of invest-

ments made. For the analysis, so-called performance

indicators such as TWRR, MWRR and approximati-

on methods are calculated. In addition, it serves the

comparison with target results. It also enables the

itemization of the performance by the different cau-

ses, i.e. to what extent the specific portfolio items

have contributed to the overall performance. The

portfolio structure, with which you can categorize

investments, is the basis for these analyses. Analy-

ses can be carried out both hierarchically for port-

folios as well as by asset category across portfolios.

The Credit Risk Analyzer focuses on measuring,

analyzing and controlling counterparty risks. In a

first step, special risks for financial transactions of a

company are covered. In order to perform this active

controlling, the Credit Risk Analyzer includes a risk

control through limits and flexible limit management

with online monitoring and an extensive reporting.

This allows corporate executives to recognize and

avoid default risks as soon as they arise.

SAP Cash ManagementFor an optimum control of your cash resources

Ensuring liquidity, bridging gaps and investing sur-

plus profitably are the most important tasks of a

Cash Manager. A reliable, group-wide overview

of all cash flows is thus essential. SAP Cash Ma-

nagement supports companies by providing central

processing of all relevant cash flow data from the

different business areas. The module automatically

utilizes incoming data from bank statements as well

as forecasts from SAP Financial Accounting, the

SAP Subledgers (SD, MM, etc.) and SAP applica-

tions (SAP Treasury & Risk Management, SAP In-

House Cash, etc.). Finally, data automatically feed

a system-based cash management position and the

liquidity forecast. Hence, you always have access to

accurate and up-to-date liquidity reports by banks,

countries, currencies and subsidiaries. Such a cen-

tral overview is the most important tool for you to

control cash flows in an ideal manner and to ensure

short-term financial solvency of your company.
