Closing Cockpit

1
Overview of Closing cockpit concept: This support function enables you to create a structured interface for executing transactions and programs that form part of complex processes, such as closing processes. The structured layout supports processes within an organizational structure, such as company code, as well as scenarios effecting multiple organizational structures. The closing cockpit can be used as an application tool in the following cases: When activities recur periodically When more than one person may be involved When 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 to all involved The closing tasks are documented for later checks To support the closing process the closing cockpit offers the following options: Hierarchies: to display the organizational objects involved in the closing process A task list template: 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 the tasks to be managed or executed from the respective task list are made available for processing or for monitoring task progress A monitor that provides an overview of the sequence of the tasks, their status and dependencies and critical paths in the graphical form Detailed information for evaluating the technical settings of tasks as well as for analyzing background programs (spool, job log information) Dependencies for displaying the conditions that are prerequisite to processing the individual tasks
