In today's dynamic financial environment, companies are more focused on liquidity management, risk mitigation of finances, and compliance. SAP Treasury and Risk Management (TRM), one of the critical components of SAP's Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) solution, offers a comprehensive suite of solutions which allows organizations to automate their treasury operations, reduce cash flow complexities, and manage financial risks with precision.

What is SAP TRM?
SAP TRM is a bundled module which allows managing the financial assets, liabilities, and risks of an organization. It facilitates the end-to-end lifecycle of the treasury processes, including deal capture and processing and valuation, risk analysis, and accounting. The module equips treasurers with real-time information and control over cash, investments, debt, and financial risk exposures.

SAP TRM Key Components:

    This is the central component of TRM that manages the creation and processing of financial products like:
    • Deals in the money market
    • FX transactions
    • Securities
    • Derivatives
    It maintains accurate recording, settlement, and accounting of deals in real time.

  2. Risk Analyze:
    Composed of sub-modules, it is an advanced package for managing and accessing financial risk:
    • Market Risk Analyzer (MRA): Analyzes interest rate, currency, and commodity risk exposure using material numbers such as Value at Risk (VaR).
    • Credit Risk Analyzer (CRA): Tracks exposure to counterparties and provides credit limit monitoring.

  3. Portfolio Analyzer:
    Assists in financial planning and strategic investment portfolio analysis. It facilitates performance measurement and what-if analysis.

  4. Cash and Liquidity Management:
    Consolidates bank accounts and cash positions of the entities to report:
    • Forecasting of cash flows
    • Liquidity planning
    • Management of bank accounts

    • FI (Financial Accounting)
    • CO (Controlling)
    • SAP Bank Communication Management (BCM)

Through the convergence of cash management, financial risk analytics, and transaction processing in a single platform, SAP TRM allows companies to remain nimble in fluctuating markets and makes treasury a strategic corporate finance partner.
