Information on closing cockpit implementation

Hello SAP Gurus,
      Please help me on the following questions,
      How can CPS be best used in Closing Cockpit?
      How should the type of task be decided?
      What the scenarios where Flow definition can be used?
       Does the functioning of closing cockpit will be affected by the decision on the type of task been used?
        Can you also share the experience in implementing closing cockpit and challenges faced?

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

Closing Cockpit- Are these standard?

Hi Experts
Please guide whether the following metrics can be derived as Standard from Closing Cockpit
Number of journals waiting to be processed
Percentage of month end tasks complete
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)
Regards
Varun

- 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.

Closing Cockpit: Different Fiscal Year Variant in Task List

Dear All,
I want to implement the closing cockpit for several bukrs who have different fiscal year variants. I have definied one template for all bukrs. When creating a task list I only have the possibility to define one fiscal year variant for the selection variables. I could use my own selection variables from TVARV but nonetheless when choosing the template/task list the fiscal year variant is shown "wrong" for some of the bukrs. I do not want to design a template for each fiscal variant. Are there any ways to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help!
Cathrine

Hi,
I am afraid this is not possible. Please see the SAP notes
152888 - Different fiscal year variants in FI-AA
1493253 - Different fiscal year variants in FI-AA (II)
There are a restrictions for different fiscal year variants in asset accounting. This also applies to NewGL. There is a workaround with another depreciation area but I have never tried it.
Kind Regards,
Steffen

Import template from closing cockpit

Hi all,
While importing template from closing cockpit from one client(Development System) to another client (Quality System), the "Variant ", "Notes" & "Office Document" added to task are not getting imported to receiving client(Quality System).
Is there any other procedure or OSS Note to be implemented.
Thanks & Regards,
vijay

There are many things need to be corrected for Closing Cockpit. And I think SAP is currently working on it they released many notes on July 08, 15 and 17.
May be for now you cannot transport with doc, notes and variants.
Thanks

Email notifications via Closing Cockpit

Dear Friends,
Our client wishes to implement closing cockpit in their ECC system. We do not plan to implement Financial Closing Cockpit as it requires additional license (additional cost). We wish to send email notifications as advance intimation to the user and subsequent message after completion of particular task. However this needs to be sent automatically as a preconfigured mail. Is this possible ? We have on EHP6 . Please share your views /suggestions/solutions.
Regards
Jayesh.

Closing Cockpit - Config without transports

Hi!
We are running ECC 6 with ehp 4 and are using the closing cockpit.
The financial people are updating their templates on a regular basis.
To do this they are using t-code CLOCOC and According to the standard process this is made in the development system and from there transported to the production system.
This process is time consuming and needs a BASIS resource to be completed (transports).
To avoid this we have tried to make CLOCOC config modifiable in a nonmodifiable client (production) by setting the "current settings" checkbox for CLOCOC on SOBJ and transported this to production. Unfortunately this hasnu2019t helped us.
We are still getting the error "Client 100 has status 'not modifiable'".
So now Iu2019m in a desperate need of a solution. In worst case we will continue using the standard process.
Kind Regards
Efe Efeoglu

Hi Andre, hi Satish,
we are facing the same problem at the moment.
CLOCOC, TSCMA and SCMATREE are all marked as current settings using SOBJ. Client status is "productive".
I have found some information about a pilot note dealing with the problem, but the note is in development since 2011 and is still not released (OSS 1179482).
Have you find any solution to this problem?

How to execute closing cockpit after completed the configuration?

Hi Expert,
Please help, how to execute closing cockpit after completed the configuration? or if who have a document it will be helpful.
Best regards,

components of closing cockpit
Organizational Hierarchies (Company Codes, Controlling Area, Operating Concern, etc)
Task List template (Preconfigured templates available)
Task Lists: Derived from template and extremely crucial for successful definition of the month-end close.
Dependencies between the tasks
Monitor
Detailed information
5 steps for setting-up Closing Cockpit
Conduct Planning and Research
Create the basic template data
Build the closing template hierarchy structure
Configure individual tasks
Change the template to an executable task list
For delivering the Closing Cockpit successfully, you need to have a clear understanding of the current closing routines, the required tasks, who is responsible for each task, which tasks when executed should affect which level of the organization, and finally a clear process for review and documentation.

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
Volker

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.

Selection variable for next month in RFPERIOD_OPEN in closing cockpit

Hi,
we would like to use RFPERIOD_OPEN in the closing cockpit in order to open the next period on D-10 automatically. I would like to use the selection variables of the closing cockpit in the program variant in order to avoid unnecessary variant maintenance every month.
Unfortunately I cannot find a variable for the next month. There is only SAP_FAST_CLOSE_PERIOD_P. Do you know if it is possible to base a calculation logic to derive the next period from SAP_FAST_CLOSE_PERIOD_P.
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Mariya

Thanks! I checked it, but the appearance of months and order is okay in T247.
Any other ideas?
I thought I read somewhere that this is a bug but can´t remember where I found that bug hint.

Closing Cockpit

Hello everyone,
Can you add a task to a template on the closing cockpit once it has been released? If so, how do you it?
Thanks .

From what I read from the link I sent you and the little test I carried out, this is how to proceed.
1. T.code: CLOCO
2. Click on Edit --> Display --> Change
3. Then click on Template/Task List on the menu bar
4. Click on import closing cockpit and select your template/task list
5. Now right click on the folder where you want to add new tasks and create it from there.
Hopes this helps.
Elias

Closing Cockpit- jobs

I am trying to configure the closing cockpit. Is it possible to start a job that has already been defined? or does a flow definition need to be defined?

Thank you for you input. However, I need some clearficiation. I have created in the job in Schedule manager (SM37) However, I want the job to run after a specified task in the closing cockpit. Is there a way to start the job in schedule manager from a task in the closing cockpit? Ideally I would like to click on a task in the closing cockpit and it start the job in schedule manager. Is that possible?
