Cash Management Security

Bank Account Security

Two different security mechanisms are provided to secure bank accounts: Bank Account Maintenance security and Bank Account Access security. At a high level, Bank Account Maintenance security secures the creation and update of bank account data, whereas Bank Account Access security secures user access of the bank accounts.

Bank Account Maintenance Security

In Bank Account Maintenance security setup, you can assign one or more legal entities to each role (responsibility). In the creation flow, the Bank Account Owner LOV will display only the legal entities that are assigned to your role in this security setup. In the update flow, users can only query the bank accounts whose owner is assigned to your role.

Note: When a user is assigned to multiple roles with multiple Bank Account Maintenance Security setups, all security rules are defined for the user even though the user may access the application through only one particular role.

Bank Account Maintenance Security is implemented using the UMX data security model. A setup wizard called Cash Management Security Wizard facilitates the setup procedure. See: Cash Management Security Wizard.

Bank Account Access Security

The Bank Account Access security rule feature is built on top of Bank Account Access Setup and Cash Management Security Profiles. Bank Account Access setup provides a list of organizations that have access to a given bank account; whereas Cash Management Security Profiles provides a list of organizations an application user has access to. If there is at least one common organization between Bank Account Access setup and Cash Management Security Profile then users will be granted access to the bank account. For example, if bank account 101 has account access setup with operating unit OU1, and if user OPERATIONS has access to OU1 in the profile, then the user can view and use bank account 101.

Bank Account Access Setup

Bank Account Access setup defines the uses (Payables, Receivables, Payroll, and Treasury) of bank accounts and organizations that have access for each use. One or more operating units can be assigned to Payables or Receivables Use. Only one legal entity can be assigned for Treasury Use. The legal entity that is assigned to Treasury use is always the same as bank account owner. Lastly, one or more business groups can be assigned for Payroll Use.

Cash Management Security Profile

Cash Management Security Profiles provides a list of organizations (OU/LE/BG) that the user has access to based on following four security rules: Bank Account Use security, Treasury security, MOAC security and Payroll security.

Security in Bank Statement Reconciliation

Users can create, update or view bank statements as long as the user has access to the statement's bank account based on bank account access security. However, in order to reconcile transactions a user must have the transaction's organization defined in MOAC, Payroll, Treasury or Bank Account Use security.

Security in Cash Forecasting, Cash Positioning and Cash Pool

Bank Account Access security is applied to these features to restrict the bank accounts that the user has access to.

Bank Account Transfer Security

In Bank Account Transfer security setup, you can assign one or more legal entities to each role (responsibility). In Bank Account Transfers, the source and destination bank account LOVs will list only those bank accounts whose owners are assigned to your role in Bank Account Transfer security setup.

The Bank Account Maintenance Security is implemented using the UMX data security model.
