In an increasingly data-driven world, companies depend on planning their finances proactively and flexibly. A central building block for this is liquidity planning, which makes it possible to monitor cash flows, identify liquidity shortfalls early and make strategic decisions on a more solid footing. With SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), SAP offers a modern tool developed specifically for such requirements.

What is SAP Analytics Cloud?

SAP Analytics Cloud is an integrated platform that combines business intelligence (BI), planning and predictive analytics in a single solution. This makes it particularly attractive for companies seeking a seamless connection between data analysis and decision-making.

Benefits of liquidity planning in SAP Analytics Cloud

  1. Real-time data integration SAC enables a direct connection to various data sources, such as SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA. This means financial data can be analysed and updated in real time, allowing an always up-to-date view of the liquidity position.
  2. Simulation capabilities With SAC, companies can simulate different scenarios. For example, the effects of investments, market changes or payment terms can be modelled in order to predict future liquidity more accurately.
  3. Automation and AI support Thanks to integrated artificial intelligence, forecasts can be produced automatically. This minimises manual errors and saves valuable time.
  4. User-friendly interface The intuitive user interface of SAC enables even non-technical users to understand and evaluate complex financial data easily.
  5. Collaboration and transparency With SAC, teams can work on planning models in real time, which improves collaboration between departments and makes decisions more transparent.

How does liquidity planning work?

Liquidity planning in SAC begins with the integration of the relevant financial data. Users can then:

  • Visualise cash flows: Charts and dashboards help you see incoming and outgoing payments at a glance.
  • Produce forecasts: With the help of historical data and algorithms, future payment flows can be forecast.
  • Plan measures: Based on the results, companies can develop measures to avoid liquidity bottlenecks, whether through borrowing, investment adjustments or other strategies.
