Working capital is the difference between a company’s current assets and its current liabilities on its balance sheet. It reflects the liquid resources available to a business to run its day-to-day operations, and it is a market indicator of a company’s short-term financial health.
Optimising your working capital requires flexibility amid changing market and internal conditions, and data-driven management is essential for successful execution. By leveraging data, you can enhance performance and profitability, gain objective insights, and uncover emerging opportunities. Embracing a data-driven approach provides a competitive edge for developing smarter strategies and achieving improved outcomes.

Cash Management takes care of your cash flow forecasting. With SAP Cash Management our customers track, control, and manage their cash. Real-time data visibility of global cash positions, and monitoring of currency, company, bank, and account enable data-driven decision making. By determining an accurate cash position the business can determine quickly it’s deficit or excess of cash. This is the source enabler for effective working capital management execution via receivables financing or supplier early payment programs.
SAP Analytics Cloud for Planning facilitates the long-term liquidity planning. Along with the Taulia Scenario Planner, a long-term working capital management strategy can be developed and imported to observe its effect on cash flow over time. Identifying long-term cash surplus or deficits is the opportunity to introduce supplier early payment discount offers, pushing out of supplier terms, offering bank funded early payment programs or selling receivables to shore up expected liquidity needs.
Taulia Cash Flow Acceleration executes the working capital strategy. With Dynamic Discounting, our customers optimise their operational expenses by offering early payments to suppliers in exchange for discounts. Suppliers can choose which invoices to accelerate and gain liquidity. The earlier the payment, the greater the discount, creating a win-win situation that enhances supplier relationships. By leveraging the Sustainable Supplier Finance feature, customers reward suppliers who meet ESG targets, thus offering financial incentives for ethical practices. With Virtual Cards, it’s possible to maintain sufficient liquidity by gaining an extra 30 days of payment terms, reducing the cost of short-term borrowing. Virtual card numbers (VCNs) are issued digitally to suppliers and offer a fast, safe, and straightforward way to pay, seamlessly integrated with the ERP system. This delivers an overall reduction in supplier payment information management costs, along with operational efficiencies in payment delivery.
As a RISE with SAP customer, you can leverage this package to plan and analyse your cash flow and long-term liquidity, you can build and execute your working capital strategy by reducing your operational expenses and optimising your Free Cash Flow.
