SAP Business: Liquidity Forecast Report
This SAP Business refers to the process of generating liquidity forecast report.
Liquidity forecast relates to medium and long term liquidity while cash position relates to short term liquidity. Liquidity forecast takes into account open items in sub ledgers i.e. open customer and vendor invoices.
In addition, liquidity forecast also takes into account purchase orders, purchase requisitions and schedule line agreements raised in materials management module as well as sales orders raised in sales and distribution module.
Liquidity forecast thus reflects Unilever’s expected medium to long term cash inflow and cash outflow.
Before generating the liquidity forecast report, loan interest, deposit interest and security deposit to be paid to vendor should already be recorded in the system. Memo records should also be entered for foreign exchange cover.
Any manual planning items should also be entered via memo records prior to generation of the liquidity forecast report. Memo records do not update the General Ledger.
Memo records should be used when incoming and outgoing payments are not transferred to cash management module via actual postings.

SAP Business: Cash Position Report
This business process describes the process of generating cash position report.
Common Business Requirement
Cash position report shows the balance in bank GL accounts and the bank clearing accounts. Before generating the cash position report, the bank GL accounts should be checked to see if there is any overdraft. If there is overdraft, interest should be calculated and journal entries posted for the overdraft interest such that the cash position report will be reflective of actual cash position.

SAP Business: Electronic and Manual Bank Statements
This SAP Business refers to the process of posting electronic/manual bank statements.
Common Business Requirement
Bank statements reflect movements in bank balances resulting from various activities such as loan/deposit interest, overdraft, incoming payment from customers and outgoing payment to vendors.
Periodically, bank statements are either downloaded from bank websites or are sent to your company by the banks. Where bank statements are in MT940 format (format compatible for uploading in SAP), the bank statements will be uploaded.
If banks are able to provide information on the line items in the bank statements, upon posting of the bank statements, bank clearing accounts (e.g. incoming and outgoing clearing accounts) will be cleared.
Where banks are not able to provide information on the line items, the bank statement will be posted and clearing will be done subsequently (either manually or automatically). Sometimes, due to technical reasons, some line items in the bank statement may not get posted.
