FIN_ACC_LOCAL_CLOSE_3: Local Close 3 (New)

Use

As of SAP ERP enhancement package 6 for SAP ECC 6.0, Enterprise Extension Financials (EA-FIN 606), you can use the Local Close 3 business function.

You can use this business function to add customer-specific enhancements to a template or task in the Closing Cockpit. You can add customer fields to a template or assign documents to a task to provide users with important business information such as instructions or explanations. Other new functions provide greater support with the configuration of the Closing Cockpit, such as improved performance when calling data or easier ways of creating and releasing task lists.

The business function contains the following features:

Adding Customer Fields to a Task

You can define additional customer fields for a task and edit those fields in the closing template or in the task list. For this, you also have the option of using a Business Add-In to fill those fields.

Adding Documents to a Task

You can use this function to add documents to a task. Those documents can be Microsoft Office documents (from Word, Excel, or PowerPoint), PDF documents, text files, or URLs. You can add documents with different formats to a single task. The documents can be imported or created again from within the application.

Easier Ways of Creating and Releasing Task Lists

With the reports Create Task List (CREATE_TASKLIST) and Create Multiple Task Lists (CREATE_TASKLISTS), you can create, release, and subsequently schedule task lists without additionally having to call up the Closing Cockpit using the transaction Closing Cockpit: Create Task List (transaction CLOCOT). This allows you to create and release task lists on a daily or weekly basis more efficiently.

Setting the Current Template or Task List as the Default

You can set a template or a task list as the default setting. In this way, the default setting is applied automatically when you call the Closing Cockpit (using transactions CLOCOT, CLOCOC, or CLOCO), without requiring you to specify the template from the list of templates or task lists.

Defining Multiple Destinations for SAPCPS in the Closing Cockpit

You can define destinations and isolation groups in templates, thereby enabling you to use different SAP CPS destinations in different templates. You need this function to be able to separate completely the tasks of the different templates in SAP CPS (for example, for different country groups). For this, you use two new fields (Destination and Isolation Groups) in the basic data of the template.

Improved Performance in the Closing Cockpit

Performance is improved for various functions, for example, with the following enhancements:

o,,Loading data for dependencies

o,,Option of mass scheduling as background processing

o,,Controlled storage of settings to the task overview (CLOCO)

o,,Updates in selected tasks only

o,,Details only determined when called explicitly from the context menu

Time zones are supported

You can select different time zones in the Closing Cockpit. The time information is then displayed in the selected time zone.

New status of a task

The new status "Checked" can now be used in the SAP GUI user interface. It is only possible to set this status manually once the task has undergone a final check. This provides you with the option of checking the task again after it has been processed successfully, either by the system (the status is set automatically) or by yourself (the status can also be set manually).

Changes to tasks in the task list

This function enables you to make changes to the task list after it has been created. For example, you can change the definition of a task, add new tasks, or delete tasks.

Function enhancement for downloading task lists

You can now download task lists with notes in files, such as Microsoft Excel or other data types.

Improved authorization concept

After activating this function in Customizing, you can manage authorizations in the Closing Cockpit with greater precision. With the new authorization concept, you can make a distinction between three user groups:

  • 03 Display # Authorization to display task lists
  • 02 Change # Authorization to make changes to the task list (including mass changes)
  • 16 Execute # Authorization for the restricted processing of the task list for closing activities, such as executing tasks, changing statuses, locking tasks, or scheduling jobs.

Consequently, you can restrict the assignment of authorization for activity 02 to a small number of users.

Enhanced functions for organizational units

  • When you create new tasks or new folders in a template that are relevant for all organizational units, you can simply copy them to all organizational units.
  • You can replace a task or a folder in all organizational units.
  • Similarly, you can also delete a task or a folder from all organizational units.
