Bank Account Management Process

Cash managers and accountants in subsidiaries can eliminate tedious manual reconciliation processes when creating, changing, or closing a bank account.
Basic Bank Account Management is equipped with the direct revision activation process flow. No information is lost along the way and the bank account information is always harmonized.

All of the main business processes can be mapped directly to the functions and features provided by Basic Cash Management. The application supports the maintenance of general master data, the creation of bank hierarchies, the export of information to a spreadsheet, and so on.
This greatly supports cash specialists and managers in their day-to-day business to run more efficiently using best practice business processes.
