  Liquidity position is a term used in SAP's FS-LRM Liquidity and Risk Management component. It is a measure of the amount of cash and other liquid assets that a company has available to meet its short-term obligations.

  How to use it: 
  The liquidity position can be used to assess the financial health of a company. A positive liquidity position indicates that the company has enough cash and liquid assets to cover its short-term obligations, while a negative liquidity position indicates that the company does not have enough cash and liquid assets to cover its short-term obligations.
