In a challenging economy, cash and liquidity management has become more important than ever before. Companies are confronted with the harsh reality that it's increasingly difficult to maintain adequate cash flow and profit margins in a global economic crisis.

For optimal cash management, you need visibility into your current and future cash requirements and global cash positions. Plus, you need reliable insight that helps you better manage your receivables – and identify problems that can arise during the pay cycle, putting your cash flow at risk. Cash and liquidity management solutions from SAP enable you to develop more timely and accurate forecasts and achieve better control over your global cash balances. And robust analytics and reporting features can empower you to see the overall picture, make more informed decisions, and manage your liquidity and cash more effectively.

With cash and liquidity management capabilities, you can:

• Ensure the health of your commercial cash flows – SAP solutions help you gain control of your accounts receivable (AR) so the amount and timing of your critical cash flows aren't compromised. For example, solutions for managing billing disputes can help you significantly reduce days sales outstanding (DSO).
• Increase visibility into the sources and uses of cash – Cash management solutions give you deeper insight into your cash balances, as well as the ability to more precisely match the sources and uses of cash. You can improve forecasting to enable better decision making.
• Increase control over cash on hand – SAP software supports electronic bank interfaces, so you can reduce manual reconciliation processes and gain real-time insight into global cash positions. In addition, you can leverage features that support in-house banking, so you can centralize your cash management functions and reduce the complexities of multiple banking relationships fragmented across geographies.
