1.2.

1 Bank Account Migration to Cash Management

In Release 12, a common data model and common user interface for creation and maintenance of
Banks, Bank branches and internal bank accounts is provided in Cash Management. Prior to
Release12, if the same internal bank account was used by different applications (such as Treasury
and Payables), it had to be defined separately in each application, which created fragmented data
and made bank account maintenance complicated and labor-intensive. In Release12, an internal
bank account that is intended for use by different applications can be created just once in the
centralized Cash Management function and then used in any application or a select group of
applications (as specified by the user).
Prior to Release 12, Company accounts were defined in the Company Profiles > Settlement
Accounts form. In Release 12, this tab is replaced by a Button viz Bank Accounts which shall
take the user to the Bank Accounts user interface in Cash Management. Treasury Bank
Accounts are distinguished in Cash Management by the Treasury Use flag which can be
assigned when a Bank account is created for a Bank branch that is linked to a Treasury
Counterparty. On saving the bank account data in Cash Management, information for Treasury
Company and Subsidiary bank accounts are replicated in the corresponding Treasury tables.
However unlike company bank accounts, Subsidiary Accounts shall not be visible in the Cash
Management Bank Accounts user interface. They still have to be managed in the Counterparty
Profiles form. In Release 12, two new fields viz. Portfolio Code and Pricing Model have been
added to the Counterparty > Settlement Account Detail form. These fields are non-mandatory,
though these values are required if the balance needs to be entered / updated for a Subsidiary
bank account in the Cash Management Bank balance user interface.
2.2.2 Bank Balance Migration to Cash Management
In Release 12, a common data model and common user interface for creation and maintenance of
Bank Account Balances is also provided in Cash Management. Prior to Release 12, bank account
balance maintenance and interest calculation was only available to Treasury bank accounts. In
Release12, this feature becomes available to all bank accounts defined in the new centralized
bank account model.
Prior to Release 12, Treasury bank balances could be entered / updated using the Current
Account Balances form. In Release 12, this functionality shall now be shifted to the Cash
Management Bank balances user interface. Bank balances can be created / updated in this user
interface for Company and Subsidiary bank accounts. Interest rates setup for Bank accounts need
to be done in the Interest Rate Schedules user interface in Cash Management before the bank
balances can be created or updated. The balance information is replicated in the Treasury tables
on saving the information.
Current Account Balances form shall be renamed as Bank Account Interest Settlement. No
changes are made to the layout of the existing form, though only Interest override / settlement
actions shall be available now in this form. All other fields shall be read only.
