8/22/2019 Closing Cockpit Configuration
1/2
PurposeThe Closing Cockpit enables you to create a structured interface for executing transactions and programs
that form part of complex processes, such as closing processes. The structural layout supports processes
within an organizational structure, such as within the company code, as well as scenarios affecting
multiple organizational structures.
The Closing Cockpitcan be used as a tool in particular in cases where
Activities recur periodically More than one person responsible are involved
The activities are performed within a process that has a fixed chronological sequence or is
determined by dependencies
The activities need to be supported by a shared, uniform interface for all involved
The status of all periodic activities needs to be documented and made transparent and available
for all involved
The Closing Cockpitenables you to optimize your process flows by using its event-driven organization of
activities, its overview and monitoring options, as well as its analysis tools, all of which cover the entire
process.To support the closing process, the Closing Cockpitoffers the following structural objects:
Hierarchies to display the organizational objects involved in the closing process
A task listtemplate based on the organizational structure
A detail view of the characteristic values of the individual hierarchy levels used in the task list
template.
Task lists that are derived from the task list template
A list display in which all tasks to be managed or executed from the respective task list are made
available for processing or for monitoring task progress
A monitor that shows a graphical representation of the critical paths as well as the processing
periods and processing sequence with their respective dependencies Detailed information about the technical settings of tasks as well as for analyzing background
programs (spool, job log information)
Dependencies for displaying the conditions representing a prerequisite for processing the
individual tasks
PrerequisitesFor tasks to be included in the Closing Cockpit, all transactions required for the process to be represented
(including Z transactions, for example) need to be specified in table SCMATRANSACT. All programs to be
applied must be registered in table SCMAPROGRAMS.
For information about including customer-specific programs in the Closing Cockpit, see SAP Note 325118
