FF7A — Cash Position (Classic Cash Management)

Treasury needs to know each morning how much cash is available on which account and what will move in the next days. The cash position combines posted bank balances with planning-relevant items such as payment advices and cleared amounts not yet on the statement, grouped into planning levels, so the treasurer can see shortfalls and surpluses by account.

It is used daily by treasury and cash managers in companies running classic Cash Management on ECC, especially before deciding transfers between accounts, cash pooling sweeps or short-term borrowing. It is also used to check that bank statements were imported and that planning levels are assigned correctly.

Select the company code, grouping and display date, choose the display in days or weeks and the currency. Drill down from groupings to accounts and to individual items. Planned items can be created as payment advices to reflect expected flows. Results depend on planning levels assigned in the GL account and vendor or customer master data.

Compare the opening balance for a bank account in FF7A with the GL bank account balance in FAGLB03 and with the last imported bank statement. Differences usually come from unposted statements or missing planning level assignments. Each planning level total should be traceable to its source items by drill-down.

In S/4HANA, SAP Cash Management uses Fiori apps such as Cash Position, based on a common flow table and liquidity items. Classic FF7A and FF7B are associated with the ECC Cash Management; check your release and licensing before relying on them.

The cash position is only as accurate as the master data behind it.

Treasury and cash management own the report and the planning level setup. Accounts payable and receivable own the data that feeds it, and the bank accounting team owns the timely import of bank statements, without which the morning cash position is incomplete.
