SAP Treasury and Risk Management Configuration Training Course

Course overview

Treasury teams need reliable configuration to capture financial transactions correctly, value positions consistently, monitor market exposures, and post accounting entries without manual workarounds. Poorly configured SAP Treasury and Risk Management (TRM) can create duplicated deal data, inconsistent yield calculations, unreconciled subledger balances, weak approval controls, and reporting that does not support treasury decisions. This course addresses the practical configuration work required to establish and maintain SAP TRM processes for money-market, foreign-exchange, securities, and derivative transactions.

Participants work through the SAP TRM configuration model from enterprise structure and master data through transaction products, deal lifecycle processing, valuation, accounting, risk analysis, and integration. They learn to configure transaction types, product categories, number ranges, payment flows, interest calculations, valuation areas, posting specifications, account determination, market-data dependencies, and approval-related controls. The course also explains how Treasury and Risk Management connects with Financial Accounting, General Ledger, Cash Management, and SAP Fiori-based operational tasks.

Instruction combines guided configuration demonstrations with hands-on exercises in an SAP training system. Each day uses realistic treasury scenarios, including FX forwards, fixed-term deposits, interest-rate instruments, and valuation postings. Participants progressively build a configured TRM solution and leave with a documented configuration workbook containing key settings, design decisions, test cases, transaction flow maps, and a deployment checklist that can be adapted for their own SAP landscape.

The course is suited to finance systems professionals who support treasury operations, SAP consultants moving into TRM configuration, and treasury practitioners who need to translate business requirements into SAP controls and process settings. It is particularly valuable where organisations are implementing, enhancing, or standardising SAP S/4HANA Treasury and Risk Management.

Course objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Configure SAP TRM enterprise structure, company-code assignments, and treasury master-data controls
• Define transaction types, product categories, number ranges, and lifecycle settings for treasury instruments
• Set up payment flows, interest calculation methods, payment requests, and settlement parameters
• Maintain market-data dependencies, yield curves, exchange rates, and valuation-area settings
• Configure valuation procedures for foreign exchange, money-market, securities, and derivative positions
• Build posting specifications and account-determination rules for treasury subledger and general-ledger integration
• Execute end-to-end treasury transaction tests from deal capture through valuation, settlement, and accounting posting
• Produce a TRM configuration workbook with test evidence, transport requirements, and implementation recommendations

Benefits of attending

Target competencies

Who should attend

• SAP Treasury and Risk Management Consultants — who configure and support transaction, valuation, and accounting processes
• Treasury Systems Analysts — who translate treasury operating requirements into SAP design decisions
• SAP Finance Consultants — who need to integrate TRM postings with Financial Accounting and General Ledger
• Treasury Managers — who need to validate controls, workflows, valuation outputs, and reporting requirements
• SAP Application Support Analysts — who diagnose TRM master-data, transaction, payment, and posting issues
• Finance Transformation Project Team Members — who contribute to SAP S/4HANA treasury implementation or enhancement work

Requirements and prerequisites

Participants should understand core corporate treasury concepts, including cash positioning, foreign exchange transactions, deposits, borrowing, interest, settlement, and basic market valuation terminology. Familiarity with SAP navigation, organisational structures, master data, and standard Financial Accounting concepts such as company codes, general-ledger accounts, posting periods, and document types is expected. Previous SAP TRM configuration experience is not required. This is a foundation-to-intermediate course, so a complete beginner can attend if they are prepared to work with finance terminology and follow structured SAP configuration exercises. No programming, ABAP development, or advanced quantitative risk-modelling knowledge is required.

Training methodology

The course is delivered through instructor-led configuration sessions, live SAP demonstrations, and guided work in a SAP S/4HANA TRM training environment. Participants configure settings in sequence, then test the effect on treasury transactions, cash flows, valuation results, and accounting documents. Short case studies examine FX exposure, deposit investment, and derivative valuation scenarios. Group discussions focus on design choices, control points, and integration dependencies. On the final day, each participant completes an application plan that maps the course configuration workbook to a current or proposed treasury process.
