3.Release Cash Flows functionality

Release Cash Flows: This app allows Cash Manager to release cash flows from
different sources ( like remote systems or non-SAP systems ) if specified in
configuration. The objective is that Cash Manager can trust the information that

4.Snapshot from Cash Management:

This functionality allows end user to check a historical version of Cash Flows with
a time stamp, in order to understand what has been forecasted in a certain point of
time, and then compare with the actuals.
This was introduced in cloud version for 1802, allowing end users to check an
historical version of the cashflows.

This Snapshot functionality has to be enabled in configuration.

If you see screen below, Cashflow Analyzer App now has a field that allows you to
select the snapshot time.

Excellent write up Thanks...

One question, on the Cash Flow Comparison Actual/Forecast App:

The prompt has a mandatory field "Value Date (Hierarchy)" Ex:

Year/Qtr/Month/Day etc.,

Where is this defined?

Hi,

How can cash concentration be implemented in S4 where the bank, and not S4,
executes the cash concentration activities?

Kind regards

Chris
