Keep this: job aid

Cash visibility checklist

• Confirm licensed scope: basic (lite) or full cash management.
• Every bank account maintained, connected to a house bank account, and owned by treasury.
• Open and close accounts in SAP and at the bank together, through the approval process.
• Each morning: every account has today's statement before reading the position.
• Memo records for payroll, tax and loans, each with an owner and expiry date.
• Forecast = open items by net due date: fix terms and baseline dates at the source.
• Clear unapplied cash and review payment blocks to keep flows honest.
• Test on fixed dates: balances = statements; in-transit = clearing items; difference log for the rest.
