From a strategic point of view, the analysis and trading process is the starting point for the various Treasury processes. At this stage, you identify and analyze the liquidity and risk positions on the basis of the risk and earnings targets you have defined. SAP Treasury provides special tools and methods with which you can perform an integrated analysis of your company's financial and risk situation.
Once you have decided to conclude certain financial transactions, you enter the trading processes for these transactions in SAP Treasury Management (TM/LO). Treasury Management also supports functions for managing transactions and the related financial positions at later stages.
A range of documentation and control functions are available for all Treasury activities. They allow you to perform evaluations for specific instruments or groups of instruments at each stage of the Treasury process. This fulfills the various documentation and control requirements of both Financial Accounting and Treasury.

Trading Back office Accounting
The transaction and position management processes are divided into the following areas: The trading area comprises functions for entering transactions and exercising rights. In the back office area, the transactions are settled (checked). The back office also covers processes related to position management, such as securities account transfers. In the accounting area, you make the postings for the various activities to the subledger. From here, the posting information is transferred to the FI general ledger.
The basic structure of the trading and transaction management processes is the same for all the Treasury Management components. This forms the basis for integrating and processing transactions within the SAP System and provides the framework for adapting the way transactions are represented in the system to suit company-specific requirements.
You can authorize different users for different activities in the transaction and position management process. This allows you to separate trading, back office and accounting functions by employee. In addition, the limit management function enables you to assign a range of different limit amounts to different transactions.
You can configure the system to require transactions to be released for posting by one or several (different) person(s).

Customizing is the term used to describe the process of adapting the standard settings delivered with the system to suit company-specific requirements.
Customizing settings determine the options in the application. For example, you may only want to permit certain entries, or allow users to perform specific activities.
You usually customize the system once when you go live with the SAP system. You can make any Customizing settings you require for day-to-day business (but which are not vital to system operations) using application functions.

Organizational Units
Company code
Controlling area
Client Business areaSecurities Securities accountaccount
PortfolioPortfolio
The Treasury modules use the central SAP organizational structures. This ensures that the Treasury system is integrated with the other SAP applications.
The client is a self-contained unit within the SAP system (commercially, organizationally, and technically) with separate master records and its own set of tables. Client data applies for all company codes and organizational structures. The client usually represents the corporate group level.
A company code (FI) is the smallest organizational unit for which a complete, self-contained set of accounts can be drawn up for external reporting. The company code is the unit for which you record all the posting activities and generate all the documents for financial statements (balance sheet, profit and loss account). A client can have several company codes, which enables you to manage the accounts for several independent companies at the same time.
Business areas (FI) are organizational units for internal financial accounting. They are used to group G/L transaction figures for internal evaluations (internal balance sheet/P&L). You can define business areas across several company codes.
Controlling areas (CO) are organizational units within an enterprise for which you can perform comprehensive cost accounting.
You can make further subdivisions in SAP Treasury by defining Treasury-specific evaluation groups, such as portfolios and securities accounts.

You can create several portfolios within a company code. You can assign several securities accounts to a portfolio.
(You can only assign a securities account to one portfolio.) You use securities accounts to manage and value your positions. You need them for all transactions that
require position management. This primarily applies for listed securities. You can use securities accounts as a basis for generating securities account statements, evaluating positions, and performing securities account transfers. A securities account in the system usually relates to an existing securities account at a bank. Securities accounts ensure that the legal framework and the related administrative rules can be observed.
A portfolio is an evaluation unit in the company code, to which you can assign securities accounts (securities area) or financial transactions (money market, forex, derivatives, borrower's note loans). You can use portfolios to run an aggregated evaluation of different financial products. A portfolio also acts as a risk management instrument for controlling and evaluating a your company's risk positions. In the securities area, you can value positions for accounting purposes at portfolio level.

The securities accounts you create in the system usually represent existing securities accounts at a bank.
Meaning of selected fields in the securities account master data: - Depository bank: Partner ID of the bank where the securities account is kept. You first create the
bank as a business partner in the role of "depository bank". - Securities account number: Number used to manage the securities account at the depository bank. - Clearing account: Account number of the cash clearing account at the depository bank. - Internal bank account: Account number of the cash clearing account in SAP Financial Accounting. - Blocking type: If a restraint on disposal applies to the entire securities account, you must specify
the blocking type. - Block flag until: Date until which the restraint on disposal applies for the securities account. - Portfolio: Assignment of the securities account to a portfolio. This field is displayed if the Portfolio
indicator is set in Customizing. - Business area: When you post a transaction, the system uses the business area defined in the
securities account master data. If there is no entry in the securities account master data, the system uses the entry in the account assignment reference.

You define traders per company code. If a trader is active in several company codes, you have to make the relevant settings in each company code.
You can define trader-specific input rules as user data. For example, M = million, T = thousand. WDC enables you to carry out a working day check, and REC a rate entry check.
Once you have created the trader (and assigned a user name), you must assign this person authorizations for the transactions he or she is allowed to conclude.

Deposit at notice
52 A Call money 100 Investment200 Borrowing
When you assign transaction authorizations for traders, you can restrict the trading powers to certain financial instruments (such as money market), product categories, product types, or transaction types. A higher-level authorization means that a trader is allowed to create any transaction below this level. For example, a trader authorized for the Money Market area automatically has authorization to conclude a fixed-term deposit or a deposit at notice. Similarly, authorization for a product category automatically includes the product type and transaction type levels below it.
Before you can assign trader authorizations, you must define the trader in Customizing. To run evaluations that concentrate on the transactions or positions of a trader, you can store the name of
the trader in the transaction. You can enter the trader name manually when you conclude the transaction, or let the system propose the trader name automatically on the basis of the user name. You can assign specific user data to your traders. This speeds up data entry, and allows you to use automatic checks for working days and rates/prices (on the basis of defined deviation intervals).
The logic for assigning authorizations is the same as for business partner authorizations.

Depending on your liquidity situation (CM), your risk situation (MRM), and the revenue and risk targets you have set, you conclude certain financial transactions with your business partners. Example: You have a liquidity surplus, and invest this surplus amount with the business partner "Bank A" as a fixed-term deposit.
The functions for entering transactions are based on the Customizing settings for the transaction architecture (product types, transaction types, ...), and certain application data, such as business partner information (address, bank details, ).
In SAP Treasury, enter each financial transaction with a (specific) business partner. The business partner data must be available before you enter the transaction. The settings that have been made for business partners in Customizing determine the options available for creating business partners in the application.

A business partner is one of the following: - A natural person - An organization - A group of people or organizations in which you have a business interest
In the SAP Treasury system, you conclude transactions with business partners. Banks or central treasury departments are typical partners.
You create a master record for each business partner. You can assign several roles or functions to one business partner.
A role (= role category) specifies the characteristics a business partner must have before you can perform certain transaction activities with that partner. The business partner roles are used to record the functions of a business partner in a particular transaction. Example: A business partner acting as a borrower or a treasury partner.

This data is available for every business partner, regardless of the partner role. - General data
General data is held centrally for all roles. Access to this data can vary according to the role category, depending on the settings in Customizing (role-view-assignment).
- Company code-dependent data Data that only applies for a particular role category in the respective company code.

Classification: You create a business partner either as an "organization" or a "natural" person. The classification affects the data you enter (for example, legal form for an organization, marital status for a natural person).
The grouping lets you classify business partners according to your own criteria. Examples: Grouping1: Partners for money market, forex, and derivatives transactions Grouping 2: Partners for loan transactions ... The business partner roles (role categories) are used to record the functions of a business partner in a particular transaction. The role category determines which application functions are permitted or excluded.
You can use the field modification functions to define which fields in the respective business partner views are required, optional, or suppressed.
You can link business partners using relationships. The data the user enters is divided into central data, general data, and company code data. You have to authorize the business partner for the permitted transactions. Standing instructions are general agreements made with a business partner for processing similar types
of transactions.

You define the number range for the business partner via the business partner grouping. This number range controls whether the business partner key is assigned internally by the system, or externally by the user. It also determines whether the key must be numeric or alphanumeric.
In addition, you use the business partner grouping to create the link to Financial Accounting by assigning a corresponding customer account group. If you create a partner and call up views that are relevant for processing on the basis of customer accounts, the system automatically creates an FI customer. Customer-based views: Bank details; tax data; control data; account information; account interest; automatic payment transactions; payment data; dunning data.
To map payment flows in Cash Management, you assign a planning group to the business partner (Company code data -> Account information). This ensures that payment flows are included in Cash Management, even if the payment details are missing in the transaction.

The functions of the business partner in the transaction are defined using business partner roles (role categories). You can refine the role categories predefined in the system by defining role types in Customizing. Example: You could vary the standard address according to role category.
In Customizing you can define which data views can be accessed for each role category. Example: If you do not assign the "Dunning data" view to the role category "Issuer", the user cannot call up dunning data for a partner in the role of issuer in the application. You can use role-view assignment to assign views from the general data and company code data areas to roles. Central data can be called up for all role categories.
