Treasury Management (Cash, Deal, Risk Management) 9.1

Treasury Management (Cash, Deal, Risk Management) 9.1
PeopleSoft Enterprise Cash Management enables you to monitor and forecast cash requirements, perform automated bank reconciliations, distribute payments efficiently and securely, and automatically generate accounting entries. The following enhancements are planned for Cash Management Release 9.1 within these areas.
Integrated Performance Management
In Treasury Management 9.1, we plan to provide the following features to enhance integrated performance management:

Cash Sweep
The goal of the treasury function is to provide liquidity for a business while still earning a good return on its cash. To setup efficient liquidity solutions for an entire organization, many treasurers select banks that have wide geographical coverage and are in a position to offer unified cash management structures in multiple countries. This utilization of multiple banks and bank accounts adds to the complexity of cash management.
The proposed Cash Sweep functionality will allow customers to transfer funds from one account to another. This new functionality will enable treasurers to gain better control and visibility of their liquidity. They will be able to deploy liquidity prudently and take advantage of market opportunities using target balances, threshold controls, or zero balance accounts. This feature enables treasurers to benefit from higher yields and manage bank fees.
Treasury Dashboard
Organizations face complex challenges in controlling and streamlining financial processes in order to improve the bottom line. Treasurers’ lack of visibility into cash positions and daily operational tasks has created a need for a dashboard to efficiently manage their return on cash.
The Cash Management Dashboard will allow managers a unique view of the organization cash position. The dashboard provides cash position by bank or by currency, investment mix, department mix and payment by source. The Treasury Dashboard is a necessary business intelligence tool that allows managers to effectively manage cash within their organizations, saving them time and money. Dashboards streamline the work of the treasurer by providing enormous value as well as a central place to monitor the cash position, payments and investments.
Bi-Lateral Netting
Payment terms that are different in a vendor relationship from those in a customer relationship, even though the customer and the vendor are the same, is a common scenario. This scenario provides challenges in the netting of payments where organizations are not realizing the overall discount terms. In Treasury Release 9.1, we plan to delivers enhancements to netting functionality that rationalize the payables and receivables discount terms to effectively support bi-lateral netting. Organizations will be able to realize savings and financial value.
