Solution

Important Notes

l Although contained in the software component of SAP Simple Finance, SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA does require separate license which is not included in the license of SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA. Please refer to the note 2044295 for details.

¡ Please be aware that payments and bank statements related functions are all included in SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA, rather than SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA. Therefore, customers may continue to use these functions without the license of SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA. This doesn’t apply for functionalities regarding SAP Bank Communication Management (Bank Statement Monitor, Payment Approval, Signature and Payment Monitoring).

¡ From SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition 1503 and on, house bank accounts are completely merged into Bank Account Management (BAM) in SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA. Customers who are using SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA only (without SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA license) may use Bank Account Management Lite (see note 2165520), which is part of SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA, for functions related to house bank and house bank account. 

l Once customers have installed SAP Simple Finance, SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA is the only compatible cash management product to be used. Classic cash management (including Liquidity Planner) is not officially supported in SAP Simple Finance.

l Release Information Note: note 2138445. l The following applications are integrated with the Bank Communication Management (FIN-FSCM-BNK) component. Please be aware that

you must acquire the license for using Bank Communication Management and activate the business function FIN_FSCM_BNK before you use the following applications:

¡ Bank Account Management (BAM) ¡ Payment Statistics ¡ Bank Statement Monitor ¡ Approve Bank Payments

Released Scope

SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA 1503 provides the following functions:

l Bank Account Management (BAM): it introduces a new bank account master data with a much more complete set of attributes compared to house bank accounts, including payment approval signatories, internal and external contact persons, overdraft limits, and bank hierarchy; also it provides workflow processes for the group treasury department to centrally control the opening, closing, modifying, and reviewing of bank accounts. 

l House bank accounts are merged into Bank Account Management. For information on how to migrate house bank accounts, see the following:

¡ Customers who use SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA: Data Setup Guide for SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA at http://service.sap.com/erp-inst -> SAP ERP Add-Ons -> SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition -> SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition 1503 -> Data Setup Guide for SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA.

¡ Customers who do not use SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA: Migration Guide for SAP Simple Finance at  http://help.sap.com/sfin200 -> Installation and Upgrade Information -> Migration Guide.

l Improved Cash Concentration based on BAM l Daily Cash Operations: Together with SAP Fiori for the SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition and SAP Smart Business for the

SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition, it provides improved user experience with Fiori and Smart Business technologies on Bank Statement Import Status, Cash Positions, Make Bank Transfer, Track My Bank Transfer, Analyze Payment Details, and Approve Bank Payment.

¡ Cash Position is made directly on bank accounts in Bank Account Management (BAM). Cash Position can show cash balances directly after the bank statements or intra-day statements are imported even without accounting document postings. 

¡ Actual and forecasted data from TRM, CML, Memo Records, FI-CA, remote classic Cash Management, or excel-uploaded cash balances, can be integrated into the calculation of Cash Position and Analyze Payment Details. 

l Liquidity Management. Please note that this function is based on NetWeaver 740 SP12, with requirement of some additional SAP notes.  You can find the required SAP notes in Release Information Note 2138445.

¡ Embedded Liquidity Planning function with embedded BPC/PAK engine, and Design Studio as front-end. ¡ Liquidity Forecast with Smart Business front-end (as of 1503 SPS 1505), with two backend queries for liquidity forecast details, and

with the following limitations: n Initial load of existing AR/AP data from table BSEG to the One Exposure from Operations hub is not supported ( while the real-time update of AR/AP data to the One Exposure from Operations hub upon document posting is possible). 

n Liquidity items cannot be derived for AR/AP data in the One Exposure from Operations hub.  n Document splitting and field inheritance is not supported. Therefore, analysis along the document chain is not supported. n SD an MM integration is not supported yet. n In case that the Smart Business UI does not work properly, you can use SAP BusinessObject Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office (AO) as an alternative to display liquidity forecast data. You can also use the two backend queries for liquidity forecast details to display data in AO.

¡ Cash Flow Analysis based on the integrated Liquidity Planner actual data from remote systems.  l Deficit Cash Pool: We regret that this app does not work in 1503 as well as support package stack 1505 and 1508. We plan to get it up and

running again in future support package. Customers may still use Cash Position Details fiori app, and select the participating bank accounts in the filter, to get the position of the Cash Pool in overall. Customers may also save the filter as a variant so that the position of Cash Pool can be retrieved easily.
