SAP Treasury and Risk Management Configuration Checklist
SAP Treasury and Risk Management configuration should connect treasury deals, cash flows, valuation, accounting, payments, correspondence, and controls. A transaction can look correct during deal entry but fail later if flows, update types, account determination, or valuation settings are incomplete.
Before Configuration
- Products, company codes, valuation areas, and reporting requirements are defined.
- Business partners, counterparties, bank details, and standing instructions are ready.
- Accounting, valuation, payment, approval, and segregation-of-duties requirements are approved.
Core Configuration Checklist
Product Types And Transaction Types
- Product types and transaction types match the treasury activity in scope.
- Number ranges, field status, activity categories, and processing categories are reviewed.
- Reversal and cancellation behavior is tested.
Flow Types And Update Types
- Principal, interest, charges, fees, accrual, valuation, and realized gain/loss flows are defined.
- Payment-relevant and posting-relevant flows are clearly identified.
- Every flow has an expected accounting result.
Account Determination
- Update types map to the right GL accounts and posting specifications.
- Account assignment references are complete.
- Posting keys, document types, valuation accounts, accrual accounts, and bank clearing accounts are reviewed.
Valuation And Period-End
- Valuation areas, valuation classes, market data, exchange rates, and interest rates are tested.
- Key date valuation, accrual, deferral, reset, and reversal logic are documented.
- Month-end reconciliation steps are reviewed by finance and treasury.
Testing Checklist
- Create one transaction for each product and transaction type.
- Confirm expected flows, settlement, accounting entries, payments, and reporting.
- Run valuation, accrual, deferral, reversal, and cancellation scenarios.
- Validate GL postings line by line.
- Test user authorization restrictions and approval controls.
