Configuration Steps
1. Define System Parameters
Use the System Parameters window to configure your Cash Management system to meet your business needs. System parameters determine, for example, which set of books Cash Management uses, the default options for manual reconciliation windows, and the control settings for the AutoReconciliation program.
