Closing cockpit, Schedule Manager

Howdy,
I have experience with Schedule Manager (SCMA) in a 4.7 environment. I noticed its still available in ECC6.0. In ECC6.0 is it necessary to have the New GL active to implement the Close Cockpit(CLOCOC)? Is it possible to implement the Close Cockpit without the New GL active? Is it possible to migrate Schedule Manager elements like flow definitions and tasks to the Close Cockpit? Any opinions using CLOCOC v.s. SCMA? Thanks in advance!
Bill

Hi,
Yes I have implemented SCMA. My question is on the Close Cockpit(CLOCOC). Can CLOCOC be implemented without the New GL? The reason I ask is that we just upgraded to ECC6.0 and have not implemented the new GL. I cannot find the tcode CLOCOC in any menu area - including SPRO.
Thanks
Bill

Closing Cockpit/Scheduler Manager Flow Definition

Hello,
I am having a problem with CLOCOC flow definitions. I created a flow definition that sends notifications in case of a task is overdue but I need to access the information of the task, namely the person responsible to know who to send the email.
The problem to do this is that the workflow container doesnu2019t have the info from the task required it only has the WF Initiator. Anyone know a way to work around this problem and get the person responsible for the task?
Best regards,
Ricardo Candeias

Hello,
Normally for a workflow you would look in the Workflow Builder to see if the agent is assigned using a container element.
Then use that same container element for the mail.

Month End Closing - Schedule Manager

Hello,
Does anybody know what are the other tools offered by SAP for month end closing?
I am trying to use Schedule Manager (SCMA) but its not letting me define dependencies on "Notes" task. I mean I am trying to add "Notes" task in Schedule Manager for the specific month end tasks which will be performed outside of SAP and user will just checkmark in SCMA.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Dear All,
I am still facing below issue.
While creating flow definitions , when I try to attach program I face below issue.
e.g. I want to attach program RK_PEP_WL_SEL_SAL which is in the application CO-PC-OBJ-SALESORD but when I created flow definition I gave application as Controlling , so how to add program in the flow definition which has different application ?
If I try to attach application CO-PC-OBJ-SALESORD in flow definition itself then I cannot add programs in Controlling application .
Kindly help how to add different programs from different application.

Closing Cockpit program scheduling and automatic run.

Hi experts I would like to know if is it possible to create a step in the closing cockpit and make a program run automatically, with a batch job during a specific time already set up in the cockpit, without any intervention from the users.
When this program execution is completed, is it possible to automatically update the status of the task to ended? I would appreciate any documentation regarding this topic, in SAP help is not very clear
For example we are especially interested in:
a. - we would like to create a step to check if a specific clearing account has zero balance, and if so update the task to ended. What type of task should we create and how should we schedule it?
b. - Other example would be to run fbl3n and extract all the open items for an account. These items will be displayed in a custom form ( we are planning to build this part). We would like to know if itu2019s possible to schedule a task to run this Form in background and user, just by reviewing this task, they will directly display this form with the results.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Jose,
Of course it's possible
First, Open t-code CLOCOC.
then click "add task" in your folder (to create new task)
Then fill the description, responsible, and processing
then choose "Program" in Type of Task,, and put a program name in that field
then create a variant (it's a must,, to make the program run automatically)
If you want scheduled your program run in specific time or days, you may set the "offset in Days/Start Time"
then choose your closing type
And the customizing is finished
Then create the task list,, and you can execute your task from t-code CLOCO
Your task will be run automatically and if it's complete, the status will be "ended"
Hope it's helps
I'm also still learn about closing cockpit

BPMon: Closing Cockpit Monitoring in R/3 system.

Hi all,
In our R/3 system, we are using functionality called Closing Cockpit. It's a standard SAP set of transaction codes that allow the creation, execution and basic monitoring of a schedule of SAP activities by setting sequences, timings and people responsible for each of the activities. These tasks are executed via the cockpit so all tasks can be monitored for completion
I don't see any reference in the standard list of key figures for BPMon which would allow the results of these monitors to be brought into Solution Manager and monitored from there along with our other monitors. Is it possible to use BPMon to monitor Closing Cockpit in this way?
Thanks,
John

Hello John,
there is no integration between Closing Cockpit tasks and BPMon. There are currently also no plans to work towards an integration into this direction. What was integrated is Financial Closing cockpit and SAP Central Process Scheduling by Redwood. I think I already shared some slides on this last year during our joint workshop.
Best Regards

ECC 6.0 Closing Cockpit Functionaility

Hi,
We plan to use the Closing Cockpit functionality of ECC 6.0 for Period-end closing.
How does the Closing Cockpit help in period-end closing activities?
Is the following possible using the Closing Cockpit functionality?
1. Can standard period-end SAP transactions including recurring entries, Period-end assessments / distributions be automatically executed?
2. Does this help only in Scheduling the period-end activities?
Regards,
R.Rajaraman

R.
1. Yes. Similar to the previous solution (Schedule Manager), the closing cockpit allows you to create task plans that include various tcodes or programs. You can add KSU5, KSV5, and any others that you want.
2. It helps in scheduling. You can establish relationship between the programs (finish-start relationships). But I think the bigger help is in monitoring the entire close process... you'll be able to view in a timeline format all of the steps that you've defined and what their current status is. This is particularly helpful where some of those steps are executed de-centrally.

Closing Cockpit- Are these standard?

Hi Experts
Please guide whether the following metrics can be derived as Standard from Closing Cockpit

Sub-ledgers closed on time
Number of journals processed
Number of man hours to do month end
Number of unplanned hours to do month end
Number of journals to correct following management review
Time to close month end
Number of journals waiting to be approved
Timeliness of accruals and deferals (completion on I working day1)

- you configure it within ECC using TCode CLOCOC and use it via TCode CLOCO.
- closing cockpit dashboard would proivde most of the information you have.

Implement Closing Cockpit

Hello all,
I'd like to implement the Closing Cockpit for a portal use but I've seen that it's necessary to have SAP CPS implemented in the system to use this functionality.
My customer would like to use the Closing Cockpit without implementing SAP CPS.
I'd like to know if ithere is a way to implement and use the closing cockpit without SAP CPS and if yes, which functionalities will not be available?
Thank you for your answers.
Have a good day.

Hi Eli,
Thank you for your answer.
I have one question about this link :
You can comfortably accomplish all of the closing tasks within a single ERP system.
If you nevertheless want to run the tasks of Closing Cockpit in multiple systems, you also can connect the SAP Central Process Scheduling application by Redwood to the Closing Cockpit application.
Actually in the company we have the ECC 6 version of SAP but multiple servers with different production instances.
I don't understand clearly what kind of "multiple systems" the SAP documentation is talking about.
Does it represent multiple ERP systems or multiple servers?
Thanks

Podcast freezes when i open and has to be closed with task manager.

When I click into podcasts, it freezes almost instantly and has to be closed with task manager. I believe the culprit may be a login window that pops up asking me to enter a password for a premium service i once used from a certain podcast that i no longer subscribe to. i've tried going into the system files to delete all the files related to that podast, but it's still on the page. and i can't remove it from the page because it freezes. Can anyone help?

I've had this issue for months and have received zero response from Apple. Ever since the "upgrade" to 11 podcasts have been infuriating within iTunes.
