Abstract

Many business managers claim that treasury management is their leading concern. Managing cash flows is the center of treasury management. However, in reality, companies has experienced the difficulty in monitoring and controling this flow initiated by business transactions. To resolve this problem, Webcash Inc. developed an innovative systems called Branch Solution. Branch Solution stands in between banking systems and a company's ERP system to connect them. This system provides the company with an ability to control the financial flow in accordance with the physical flow of materials. Due to this solution many companies accomplish a high efficiency and visibility in their cash management. This study analyses a treasury management case from the perspective of supply-chain processes integration.

공급사슬관리의 발전을 위해서는 실물의 흐름을 반영한 자금의 흐름 관리가 중요해지고 있다. 공급 사슬은 일회성 거래가 아닌 기업의 일상적인 거래의 흐름으로 순환적이기 때문에 단순히 수동적인 입출금의 관리가 아닌 실물 경제에서 발생하는 자금의 수요와 공급 원천에 따른 능동적인 현금흐름의 관리가 필요하다. 하지만 현실적으로는 상거래에 수반되는 현금흐름을 파악하고 통제하는 것은 매우 어려운 문제이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 국내 웹케시(주)는 "브랜치 솔루션"이라는 혁신적인 방법을 개발하였으며 국내 거의 대부분의 대기업들이 일상적으로 사용하고 있다. 브랜치 솔루션으로 ERP를 통한 회계상의 거래활동이 기업의 대금 지급 및 수납이 이루어지는 은행시스템과 직접 연결될 수 있어 기업들로서는 실제 자금 수요와 공급의 발생에 따라 능동적인 운전자금관리가 가능하게 되었다. 이 시스템은 기업이 원자재나 완제품 등 물품의 조달 및 판매 흐름에 맞추어 현금 흐름을 파악하여 능동적인 운전자금관리를 할 수 있게 해준다. 이러한 통합 관리의 효과로 기업들이 운전자금관리의 효율성과 가시성 등 공급사슬관리의 실제적 성과를 달성하고 있다. 본 연구는 공급사슬 프로세스 통합 관점에서 실물과 연계된 자금흐름관리 사례를 분석한다.
