SAP Treasury Payment Program

Uses of the Treasury Payment Program

People familiar with SAP applications are often familiar with the Accounts Payable (AP) payment program, but not everyone is familiar with the Treasury payment program, although there are features of the Treasury payment program that most companies could use to improve their processes in an SAP system. The Treasury payment program offers a very controlled, best practice process for treasury departments to follow.

Whereas the AP payment program pays AP and accounts receivable (AR) invoices, the Treasury payment program pays payment requests. Payment requests are open items made to the Payment Request Clearing Account, which is a suspense account configured to track Treasury payments. The same Payment Request Clearing Account number should be used across all company codes.

An obvious advantage of using the Treasury payment program is that the accounting entries for Treasury payments are made by the SAP system before the payment is executed at the bank, which is a more controlled and compliance-friendly process. Another advantage is the straight-through processing of the payment, meaning the payment details, such as the routing number and account number, are entered just once and flow through the SAP system before being sent to the banks. A third advantage is to have the system enforce strict controls around Treasury payments.

There are seven types of payments that could be run through the Treasury payment program (F111). They are:

Bank-to-bank transfers
Free form payments
Business partner repetitive code payments
Trade-related payments
In-house cash (IHC) payments
Loans Management (FS CML) payments
Payments to customers and vendors

(Note: When you are making payments to customers and vendors using the Treasury payment program, the customer and vendor bank details are used, but the open invoice is not cleared.)

The IHC payments, payments to customers and vendors using the Treasury payment program, and Loans Management modules are not as frequently used as the other types of payments listed above.

(Note: The functionality described in this article is included in SAP ERP Central Component [SAP ECC], although licensing may be required to use the SAP Treasury and Risk Management module. SAP’s Transaction Manager module tracks Treasury trades through their full life cycle: from trade entry to payments to month-end processing to maturity of the trades. All accounting entries related to the trades are triggered by the trades and are posted directly to the SAP General Ledger. The article also mentions aspects of the SAP Bank Communication Management module, which may also require additional licensing.)

Creating Payment Requests
Repetitive Payments

Repetitive payments are bank-to-bank transfers or payments to a business partner that take place regularly using the same set of payment instructions. There are two types of repetitive payments in the SAP system: bank-to-bank transfers and business partner repetitives. The SAP system uses repetitive codes to process repetitive payments. A repetitive code in the SAP system is a 20-character key that designates a set of payment standing instructions that do not and cannot be changed ad hoc. This includes the sender bank, sender account, recipient bank, recipient account, payment method, and currency. The only details that can be changed when the payment is made are the payment amount, value date, and reference text. There are multiple advantages gained by using repetitive codes in the SAP system. Some of the advantages include increased security, faster entry, and risk mitigation against user error.

Bank-to-Bank Transfers

The most common type of repetitive payment is the bank-to-bank transfer. Bank-to-bank transfers are used to make repetitive payments from one house bank account to another. Both accounts must be defined in the SAP system as house bank accounts. Keep in mind that when the two accounts are in different company codes, this type of repetitive payment creates an intercompany posting document (the payment posting posts to the intercompany due to /due from accounts) posting. (Bank-to-bank transfers can be done between any two accounts as long as the FI configuration has enabled cross-company code postings between the two entities.)

Business Partner Repetitive

Business partner repetitive are repetitive payments made from a house bank account to a business partner bank account.

Before you can execute a bank-to-bank repetitive code or business partner payment, you need to create a repetitive code template. The repetitive code template defines details of the payment that will be executed. The two aspects of the payment that are not included in the repetitive code template are the amount and the value date.

Both bank-to-bank repetitive code and business partner repetitive code templates are created using the Edit Repetitive Codes program (transaction code OT81). After you execute transaction code OT81 or follow menu path Accounting > Financial Accounting > Banks > Master Data > Repetitive codes > Repetitive Codes, the Edit Repetitive Codes screen appears (Figure 1). To create the repetitive code template, enter a value for the sending company code in the Paying CoCd (paying company code) field and enter the name of the house bank in the House bank field.

Figure 1

Create a repetitive code template

Click the create icon

 to create a repetitive code template.

The system then displays the pop-up screen shown in Figure 2. To create a business partner repetitive template, select the Central Business Partner radio button. To create a bank-to-bank repetitive code template select the Bank radio button.

Figure 2

Select the type of repetitive code template

For this example, select the Bank radio button and then click the enter icon

. This action displays the screen in Figure 3.

Figure 3

Define a bank-to-bank repetitive code template

In the Repetitive Code field at the top of the screen, enter a name (up to 20 characters) for the repetitive code template. In the Processing Bank Data section, enter details for the house bank account from which the funds will be sent when the repetitive code payment is executed. In the Target Bank section, enter details for the house bank account to which the funds will be sent. In the Bank chain ID field, you can specify an intermediary bank. Enter the payment method and currency of the payment. In the Reference text: field, enter the reference information that should be sent along with the payment. This text typically describes the payment. The Individual pmnt (individual payment) indicator should be selected if you do not want the payment to net with any other payment when you run the Treasury payment program. By selecting the Individual pmnt indicator, the payment is sent as an individual payment.

(Note: When the Treasury payment program is run, it nets payments that have the same value date, source house bank account, target house bank account, payment method, and currency, and that do not have the Individual pmnt indicator set.)]

After you enter the details for the bank-to-bank repetitive code template, click the save icon

. This action displays a pop-up screen similar to the one in Figure 4. Click the enter icon.

Figure 4

Save the bank-to-bank repetitive code template

At this point, you have defined the repetitive code template, but you cannot use it yet. Before you can use it to execute a payment, you must release it. To release the repetitive code template, open the Edit Repetitive Codes screen (see the instructions before Figure 1), select the tab to the left of the repetitive code as shown in Figure 5, and click the release icon

 .

Figure 5

Release the repetitive code template

This action displays the pop-up screen shown in Figure 6. Click the enter icon and then click the save icon (Figure 5) to save the release.

Figure 6

Save the release

The Release Status for the repetitive code template now is green, indicating it is available to be used to execute a payment (Figure 7).

Figure 7

Released bank-to-bank repetitive code template

To execute a bank-to-bank repetitive code payment, go to the Fast Entry with Repetitive Codes (Bank-to-Bank Transfer) program (transaction code FRFT_B), follow menu path Accounting > Financial Accounting > Banks > Outgoings > Payments with Repetitive Code > Carry Forward Bank Accounts, and press Enter. (There are no required fields when running this program.) This action displays the screen in Figure 8.

Figure 8

Execute a bank-to-bank payment

Enter the amount of the payment in the field under the Amount paid column. The reference text defaults from the repetitive code definition, but can be changed here. Click the Create Payment Request button to create the payment request. A message showing the payment request number is displayed in the next screen (Figure 9).

Figure 9

Payment request generated

At this point, the payment request is unreleased. If you run the Treasury payment program at this point, the system would not pay the payment request created above because the payment request has not been released. To release the payment request, you need to select the payment request in the lower window then click the Release button at the bottom of the screen, as shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10

Release the payment request

After you click the Release button, the system displays a message similar to the one in Figure 11. Click the enter icon to display the screen shown in Figure 12. At this point, the Treasury payment program can be run.

Figure 11

Payment request has been released.

At this point, the payment request’s status is released, as shown in Figure 12.

Figure 12

Payment request Release Status is updated

(Note: The steps for executing a business partner repetitive code template are the same as when executing a bank-to-bank repetitive payment except that the Fast Entry with Repetitive Codes (Treasury Partner) program (transaction code FRFT_TR) is used. Transaction code FRFT_TR can be found by following SAP menu path Accounting > Financial Accounting > Banks > Outgoings > Payments with Repetitive Code > Payments to Business Partners.)

Free Form Payments

Before moving on to the steps to execute the Treasury payment program, I first describe the steps to execute a free form payment.

A treasury department needs to be able to make urgent payments on an as-needed basis. The SAP system provides this functionality with the free form payments transaction. Treasury staff can make payments from any bank account in any company code configured in the system to any external bank account. These payments, including the bank details, are keyed in manually by a treasury user.

To execute a free form payment, run the Online Payment program found under Accounting > Financial Supply Chain Management > Cash and Liquidity Management > Planning > Generate Payment Request > Using USA Control Program > Online Payment, or execute transaction code RVND. In the initial screen that the system opens, select the Free Form Payment button (not shown). This action displays the screen in Figure 13.

Figure 13

The Free Form Payment screen

Enter the information related to the payment, as shown in Figure 14. In the Payee section, enter the name and bank account information for the beneficiary of the payment. By clicking the address icon

, you can enter an address for the beneficiary (not shown). In the Posting Data section, the debit side of the posting is specified when generating the payment request. In the House Bank section of the Payment Data tab, specify the bank account to be used for payment, and in the Payment Data section, specify the amount and currency of the payment, the payment method, and the value date. In the Reference text: field, enter the reason for payment. This text is sent to the bank along with the payment. When you have entered all your data, click the Payments button. This action displays the screen in Figure 15.

Figure 14

Enter details in the Free Form Payment screen

Figure 15 shows the payment request number created and the FI document number created. Click the enter icon (not shown).

Figure 15

Free form payment request created

Before a free form payment can be paid, a user with the authorization to release free form payments must release it. Approving the free form payment at this point is critical because the bank account details have been entered manually into the SAP system. To release the free form payment, execute transaction code F8REL. (This transaction code is not in the SAP menu.) This action opens the screen in Figure 16.

Figure 16

Release free form payments

Enter the known fields and click the execute icon

. This action displays a pop-up screen with a message (Figure 17).

(Note: With dual control, the user who initiated the payment is not able to release his or her own free form payment.)

Money Market

Money market transactions are used for short and medium term Investments and for borrowing of funds. Key money market instruments are as listed below:

  • Fixed Term Deposit
  • Commercial papers
  • Deposit at Notice
  • Interest rate Instruments

Fixed term Deposits: A Fixed term deposit is an investment that includes the deposit of money into an account at a financial institution. Term deposit investments usually carry short-term maturities ranging from one month to a few years. Investors can withdraw funds only at the end of term

Commercial Papers: A Commercial paper is an unsecured, short-term debt instrument issued by a companies for the financing of accounts payable and inventories and meet short-term liabilities. Commercial paper is usually issued at a discount from face value and reflects prevailing market interest rates

Deposits at Notice: These investments are similar to fixed term deposit. However, money can be withdrawn only after advance notice period has expired. For e.g. If you have a 50-day notice deposit account, you ca withdraw money only after 50 day withdrawal notice period has expired

Interest rate Instruments: An interest-rate instrument is a derivative where the underlying asset is the right to pay or receive a notional amount of money at a given interest rate. Its value increase / decrease based on movement of the interest rate

We will understand Money Market configuration and business process by configuring a new Fixed Term deposit and Interest Rate instruments. Test various associated business Process. Later we will also configure Intercompany loans in Money Market Instruments

Product Costing – Actual Cost

We have calculated standard / estimated cost of FG. Now we will create a Production Order and calculate actual cost of FG. Difference between actual cost and Standard / estimated cost will be the variance

Create Production Order: CO01

Now click Cost Order button. This will calculate the Planned cost of the Production Order. Standard cost is always for 1 unit. Planned cost is for the total production order unit (3 kg in this case). Thus, FC per unit differ between standard cost and planned cost

Click Goto – Cost – Itemization to view the planned cost

Planned cost Material = 2 Kg (BOM) * 3 Kg (Prod Order) = 1800

Planned cost Material OH = 10% OF 1800 (Costing Sheet) = 180

Planned cost activity OH = 15% of total activity cost (268) = 35

COGM / COGS = 3 (Prod Order Qty) * Standard Cost (753.23) = 2259

  • Display Standard cost estimate: CK13N
  • We have calculated Standard cost / Estimated cost of the finished product. Now we will manufacture finished good and calculate its actual cost. Then find variances between standard cost and actual cost

Steps to manufacture finished goods, find actual cost and month end product costing activities

  1. Create Production Order to manufacture FG: CO01
  2. When Production is saved Planned cost of FG is calculated in the production order. Now standard cost is always for 1 kg of material. Planned cost is for the total Production order material which can be 2 kg or more. There is difference between Standard cost and Planned cost due to fixed cost being same in both
