In-House Cash - External Incoming Payments In the external incoming payments process, external business partners clear their payables with the subsidiaries by making payments to the subsidiaries via the Global Treasury Center. Example: The external business partner pays subsidiary A via the Global Treasury Center. The external business partner instructs his/her house bank to make the payment. This partner bank subsequently pays the group head office house bank, which then sends a bank statement, automatically generating a credit memo on the current account of subsidiary A. The subsidiary receives notification of the payment via a bank statement. With SAP In-House Cash the customer can have only one channel for incoming payments.
