The Autoneum approach to a payment factory
Starting point
Status Quo 2012:
• Treasury organization
− Centralized Treasury Operations
− 2 FTEs (globally); based in HQ in Winterthur
• Cash management landscape:
− Larger positions of local based cash
− Large number of bank accounts globally (> 100)
− with broad variety of banks (> 45)
• System / IT landscape:
− Out-dated Treasury Management System (TMS)
− Independent / outdated ERP landscape («BPCS»)
− No standardization in transmission of payment files & bank statements

The Autoneum approach to a payment factory
Starting point
Status Quo 2012 – execution of payments & posting of bank statement items:
• Preparation & release of payment runs
− Local
− No transparancy for HQ
• Connection to banks for transmission
− No standard approach
− Heterogeneous systems
− E.g. «Mammut», e-banking portals, local solutions
• MT940 for «Electronic Bank Statement» functionality in ERP
− None
− Manual booking of bank statement items; paper based

− Transfer via one central bank connection / interface to appropriate bank
relation & bank account

The Autoneum approach to a payment factory
Project DRIVE: standardized business processes with SAP
• July 2012: Board decision for global project («DRIVE») of process re-engineering by using SAP as instrument (global roll-out of SAP FI, CO, SD, MM, etc)
• Agenda: 2 – 3 Roll-Outs / year, starting with CH Legal units original time frame until 2017 for Project DRIVE
• Group Treasury – Project POWER:
− TMS evaluation 2nd half of 2012, SAP TRM selected as new TMS in 11/2012
− In-House Cash licensed for future use
Benefit of integration into DRIVE landscape
Consulting partner for SAP Treasury: EPROX Consulting, Switzerland
• Key changes / requirements short term:
− Centralized transmission of payment runs & bank statements
− Single gateway to the banks & local benefits of SAP TRM use

The Autoneum approach to a payment factory
Via SAP & FIDES to the banks (and back)
• Autoneum history with FIDES:
− FIDES already in place
− Daily collection of MT940 & MT942
• Potential approach for payments:
− SWIFT connectivity for non-CH / non-EUR zone Go-Lives
− Potentially «EBICS» where available avoid SWIFT
− Profiting from choosing «the right format»: ISO 20022 / XML
• Evaluation:
− Comparison of a few service providers (e.g. «classical» SWIFT
Service Bureaus)
− Alternative: would SWIFT solution «Alliance Light» fit to our needs?

EBICS – Electronic Banking Internet Communication Standard:
“...we need an interoperable communication standard able to exchange common
ISO 20022 formats and to transfer messages securely from customers to banks.
EBICS meets these requirements” (source: www.ebics.org)
• Member countries: e.g. Germany and France, other countries to follow (e.g.
Switzerland)
• Advantage (corporate Treasury view): cost savings compared to SWIFT
approach
− Lower / no implementation costs vs. SWIFT setup on bank side (different
from bank to bank)
− No transactional fees charged vs. SWIFT
− Allows us also to get payment files forwarded «bank-internally» to other
countries outside the EBICS countries (e.g. UK, potentially China)

The Autoneum approach to a payment factory
Via SAP & FIDES to the banks (and back)
• Alliance Light:
− Offers easy and cloud based linkage to the SWIFT network
− No complex and expensive IT investments required
− Allows independence from 3rd party providers
• Assessment Autoneum: approach ideal if
− only a few banks to be connected
− utilization of single standard file format possible (e.g. only MT101)
− inhouse capacity to maintain format variations if necessary
− limited number of countries approached for payments

The Autoneum approach to a payment factory
Via SAP & FIDES to the banks (and back)
Autoneum case:
• Broad(er) variety of banks
• Complete bank landscape not yet known at project start
• Global roll-out: includes banks in «complex» countries
• (Potential) variety of formats
• Limited SAP business analyst capacity in-house
Doubts if Alliance Light «plug-in» would work for us
Unknown consulting costs for implementation
Decision to go for «hybrid Service Bureau» approach provided by FIDES

Outlook: the years ahead
Formats / «on-behalf» structure
• Optional:
− Evaluate Payment-on-behalf («POBO») and Collection-on-behalf («COBO»)
− Interesting approach for EUR entities
− BUT: large tax and legal questions to clarify first!
• Bank Statements:
− Move from MT940 / MT942 to CAMT.053 / CAMT.052
− Currently not an option due to missing bank readiness
• ACK/NAKs (pain.002):
− Currently received from FIDES by e-mail
− Target to implement into SAP BCM

New Correspondence Framework)
• Treasury «Cockpit» for easier navigation across the Treasury
Transactions in SAP
• EMIR & FinfraG compliance (Dodd-Frank TBD)

Obstacles & lessons learned
Go-Live CH Legal Units 2013 (bank-connectivity)
• Manage external dependencies
− FIDES (e.g. testing windows, converter settings)
− Banks - format definitions
• Manage internal dependencies
− Accounting team (e.g. creation of test files)
− Manage setup of several developement and testing mandates & impact on
bank connectivity in SAP (e.g. middleware configuration)
• Correct and uniform Masterdata is key for successful payment execution

Obstacles & lessons learned
Go-Live US & CA Legal Units 2014 (formats)
• Sufficient time calculated for preparation / planning / testphases
− US/CA project involved 2 timezones and 4 different parties (bank, FIDES,
Autoneum team and SAP consultants) multiplication of time needed due to
complexity
− Bank internal project guidelines lead to additional time needs (e.g. several
UAT cycles, testing freeze, cheque Go-Live schedules)
− Definition of ACH formats (CTX, CCD, PPD, etc.)
− MT940 used for statements – BAI2 can be avoided!
• Don’t rely (only) on local knowledge: ACH requirements («don’t know, we
always paid by cheque»)
• Hypercare phase must not be underestimated
• «Pushback» against reduction of payments by cheque

Project Benefits
Achievements (so far)
• Bank connectivity:
− One single Gateway to the banks from & to SAP/TMS established
− Stable SWIFT connection for US & CA bank
• Payment formats & standardization:
− Avoidance of local payment formats (e.g. in France «Bill of Exchange»)
− Reduction of number of cheques issued in US & CA (1’000 cheques / month
200 cheques / month) (!!!)

Project Benefits
Achievements (so far)
• Transparency & Risk reduction:
− Direct upload of bank statements into the TMS & ERP – no manual entering of bank statement data
− Uniform approach to approve (Legal Unit) & release (Group Treasury) payment runs
• Bank relationships:
− Focus on core banks in regards to «side business» (payment execution): targeted 7-8 core banks once all roll-outs completed (ecxl. Local banks)
− Reduction of local bank relationships (e.g. US & CA: one remaining bank targeted by 06/2015 down from 5 banks in the past)
• Transaction costs:
− Less banks more volume better pricing
− Avoidance / reduction of local instruments reduces bank fees (cheques)
