Payments Netting
Treasury Management was tasked with setting up and running a payment netting process for an industrial business group active in over 30 countries
First inter-company netting run within two months of initial decision
Immediate benefits from a new managed multilateral netting process
Receivable driven structure gave administrative advantages such as reduced payments ledgers, improved payments discipline and quicker inter-company reporting at month-end
Pay-off on investment was less than three months
After a pre-study on intra-group invoicing and the inter-company payment process, a client sought a managed multilateral netting routine. We assisted in the decision-making process by analysing payment flows and creating a case with pros and cons. We agreed on a timetable for implementation and with a two-month lead time from decision to launch, the group had sufficient time to also analyse specific country restrictions and we could set-up and control, for example, system parameters, netting base, static data, and inform group companies and banks. The savings potential indicated a less than twelve month’s return on investment.
The group is active in some 30 countries but given that the main intra-group invoicing was denominated in EUR, the anticipated cost benefits were held prudent. Besides EUR some 14 other currencies for 51 netting participants were set-up. To add to the efficiencies a receivable driven structure was selected.
