Lessons in this topic
- FICO Treasury Part 1: Cash Position and Liquidity ForecastLearn what treasurers need every morning — today's cash position and the expected flows of the coming weeks — and how SAP S/4HANA Cash Management builds them from bank statements, payables, receivables and planned items.
- FICO Treasury Part 2: Bank Account Management and SignatoriesManage bank accounts as master data with a controlled lifecycle: opening, changing and closing accounts with approval workflows, signatories and their limits, and the link between bank accounts, house banks and GL accounts.
- FICO Treasury Part 3: Payment Approvals, Bank Communication and Payment FormatsFollow a payment from the payment run to the bank: payment media in ISO 20022 formats, batching and approval in Bank Communication Management, secure transmission, and status messages that confirm or reject each payment.
- FICO Treasury Part 4: In-House Cash, Cash Pooling and Intercompany NettingUnderstand how groups centralise liquidity: physical and notional cash pooling, an in-house bank that holds internal accounts for subsidiaries, payments on behalf of others, and intercompany netting — and what each means for postings and controls.
- FICO Treasury Part 5: Treasury and Risk Management — Deals, Lifecycle and AccountingSee how financial transactions such as money market deposits, loans and FX forwards are captured in SAP Treasury and Risk Management, how they move through trading, back office and accounting, and how valuation and accruals reach the GL.
- FICO Treasury Part 6: FX Exposure and Hedging Basics for FICO ConsultantsUnderstand where foreign currency exposure arises in operations, how it is collected for treasury, how forwards are used to hedge it, and the basics of hedge accounting — so FICO and treasury designs fit together.
