Cash Processing Agent
The Cash Processing Agent for Cash Positioning and Improved Liquidity helps cash managers review daily liquidity through an insights-driven conversational experience. It provides near real-time visibility into cash position, bank balances, intraday balance movements, and accounts with cash shortfalls. Users can review the insight, ask natural language questions, drill into account and balance details, and take follow-up actions.
The following sections describe how the agent delivers these business outcomes.
Overview
• Provides a centralized starting point where users can review cash position information, begin with an insight or natural language question, and move into the appropriate cash positioning flow.
• The Cash Positioning context covers overall cash position review, currency-level cash position inquiry by legal entity or bank account, and intraday shortfall investigation.

Cash Position Results
Insights
- Users can review the intraday shortfall insight from the Cash Positioning experience and open the insight to continue the investigation through the conversational experience.
- The intraday shortfall insight identifies bank accounts where available cash is below the required target balance based on intraday actuals.
- Users can review affected accounts, currencies, balance variance, and support cash position details before taking any follow-up action.
- Follow-up actions may include reviewing the transactions causing the shortfall or reviewing surplus accounts to facilitate fund movements.
Insights
Business benefits include:
- Detects intraday balance shortfalls earlier so cash managers and treasurers can review affected accounts before the issue becomes operationally significant.
- Improves liquidity visibility by providing a consolidated view of cash position and currency wise view of cash position by legal entities, bank accounts.
- Reduces manual effort and context switching by bringing conversational inquiry, intraday shortfall insight, and account-level cash position details into a unified experience.
- Supports controlled decision-making by enforcing existing Cash Management security, data access, validations, approval rules, and audit requirements.
Steps to enable and configure
- The Cash Processing Agent for Cash Positioning and Improved Liquidity is enabled by default.
- Configure the required security access described in the Access Requirements section so users can access the agent from the navigation menu entry.
- Define target or minimum balances for bank accounts where intraday shortfall monitoring is required.
- Ensure that intraday statement data is available for accounts where users expect current-day liquidity visibility.
Tips and considerations
- Existing Cash Management classic ADF pages remain available for detailed bank statement review, bank account setup, and actions that are outside the conversational experience.
- The current scope focuses on current-day and near-term liquidity review and inquiry around the transactions contributing to the variances.
- The intraday shortfall insight requires intraday bank statement and target balances defined at the bank account level.
- Users should refresh or rerun inquiries when intraday statements are received, or transaction data changes before taking follow-up action.
