Automation of Closing Process

Question

Hello
Our Client has a peculiar requirement of closing
To extract Account Balances Profit Centrewise example
Profit Centres                                                         P1                     P2                P3
Expenses in Profit & Loss     Grand Total              Rs.                    Rs.              Rs.
Rent                                         10,000                 2,000                  5,000          3,000
Electricity                                 50,000                10,000               30,000         10,000
Expenses above includes for Capital WIP also e.g. materials for buildings, etc (since business is construction of hotels, schools, etc)
After above process to bifurcate Capital & Revenue expenses & common expenses(eg. salary paid to administrative staff) for both Capital & Revenue projects.
Now the problems are following
1. How can Capital, Revenue & Common expense at Cost Centre or WBS level be bifurcated while at the time of making expense entry.
e.g. if we make rent expense entry, we can select Profit Centre, Cost Centre, WBS element but further require "whether it is for Capital Projects, Revenue Projects or Common Expenses".
which fields can be used for these 3 criteria?
2. Close all General Ledger Accounts at cost centre & wbs level & transfer to 2 accounts i.e. WIP & CWIP.
can we automate this process & transer all the GL account values to WIP or CWIP?
Since closing process takes upto 2-3 weeks. if it can be reduced, it would be commendable in SAP.
Please if someone just gives hint for some latest functions/options not explored yet, it is a very good opportunity to scratch brain.
Thanks & Regards
