The document discusses SAP's Closing Cockpit tool, which allows users to automate and streamline the financial closing process. Closing Cockpit has two main components - a template for configuring closing tasks and their dependencies, and a task list for executing the tasks. Key features of the template include scheduling tasks, setting task dependencies to ensure proper order of execution, and easily reusing the template each period. The task list copies the template for a specific closing period and displays status updates as tasks are run. The document provides an example template and task list, demonstrating how Closing Cockpit can automate and link together the various tasks needed for a standardized monthly financial close.

The closing cockpit is a very powerful tool in SAP Financial System which provides a structured interface for executing transactions and programs that form part of complex processes such as periodic and annual closing processes.
The closing cockpit in SAP provides a structured interface for executing periodic and annual closing processes. It supports organizational structures and scenarios impacting multiple units. The closing cockpit is useful when activities are repeated periodically, involve multiple people, and need to be completed in chronological order with collaborative visibility. Configuring a closing cockpit involves creating organizational hierarchies, templates containing task sequences, and task lists assigning actual execution dates to template tasks. An example configuration walks through adding an organizational structure, creating a template with tasks like running program TFC_COMPARE_VZ, entering a task list assigning the template to a period, and verifying task completion in the closing cockpit.
1) Loading cost in a schedule can be done through either creating a global cost resource or expense item.
2) Loading cost as a resource provides more benefits like early/late cash flows, customizable resource curves, and automatic calculation of actual/remaining costs. However, it does not allow costs before/after an activity.
3) Loading cost as an expense allows costs before/after an activity but provides fewer cost analysis options and does not automatically calculate costs in all situations.
4) Overall, using a resource for cost loading provides more benefits for analysis, but an expense may be preferable in some limited cases. The method chosen should best suit the specific schedule and cost tracking needs.

MS Project - Lesson #5 - Resource Workloads
Objectives
· View resource workloads
· Locate resource conflicts
· Use automatic leveling to resolve resource overallocations
· Manually resolve resource overallocations
When making resources assignments to tasks, MS Project tries to schedule the appropriate work for that resource; however conflicts can arise if a resource is scheduled to perform more work than the resource can accomplish. These conflicts can occur as a result of a single or multiple task assignment and are often a case of overallocation of the resource. (You can also underallocate a resource). The problem then becomes how to resolve those conflicts. With MS Project, some of these conflicts can be solved automatically or manually.
For this lab, we will be using the MS Project Lab, MyLab4_XXX (where XXX are your initials) from where we left off in Lab 4. Included with this lab is an Addendum, where you can quickly check your project information prior to starting this lab.
Viewing Resource Workloads
Viewing resource workloads helps to identify to what extent a resource is overallocated or underallocated. When a resource is overallocated, the resource text is highlighted in red and a leveling indicator is displayed.
To view the workloads:
1. Log onto Windows.
2. Open your completed file MyLab4_XXX.mpp. Check the addendum at the end of this lesson to make sure your beginning file is correct.
3. Save as MyLab5_XXX.mpp, where XXX are your initials
4. From the Task tab and the Resource Views group, select Resource Usage.
This view shows each resource, total assigned for the entire project, each task the resource is assigned and total hours for each task, and on the right, a time graph showing the detail of how the work is divided up. (You may need to expand the columns and move the time graph to see all details).

- Setting it up for Payroll requires defining journal line types, account derivation rules, application accounting, and attaching a subledger accounting method to a general ledger.
- Key processes to run are payroll, pre-payments, costing, transfer to SLA, create accounting, and optionally transfer to the general ledger.
The document describes billing plans in SAP. Billing plans allow companies to schedule billing dates for items in sales documents. There are two main types of billing plans:
1. Milestone billing distributes the total amount over multiple billing dates based on project milestones or percentages of completion.
2. Periodic billing schedules regular, periodic payments such as monthly rental fees. The system can automatically generate periodic billing dates based on start/end dates and billing frequency defined in the contract.
Billing plans are controlled through billing plan types, date categories, and item categories defined in customizing. This allows standardizing billing rules and date determination for different business cases.
1. The document provides instructions for setting up and managing a project in Microsoft Project, including how to create tasks, assign resources and durations, track progress against a baseline, and solve resource allocation issues.
2. Key steps include entering a work breakdown structure (WBS) of tasks, defining dependencies between tasks, leveling resources to resolve overallocations, and tracking actual performance versus the baseline plan.
3. Earned value indicators can be viewed to assess project performance at different status dates.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

OJPs are becoming a critical resource for policy-makers and researchers who study the labour market. LMIC continues to work with Vicinity Jobs’ data on OJPs, which can be explored in our Canadian Job Trends Dashboard. Valuable insights have been gained through our analysis of OJP data, including LMIC research lead
Suzanne Spiteri’s recent report on improving the quality and accessibility of job postings to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
Decoding job postings: Improving accessibility for neurodivergent job seekers
Improving the quality and accessibility of job postings is one way to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
Every business, big or small, deals with outgoing payments. Whether it’s to suppliers for inventory, to employees for salaries, or to vendors for services rendered, keeping track of these expenses is crucial. This is where payment vouchers come in – the unsung heroes of the accounting world.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Closing Cockpit Setup (Source: Financials Expert)
With mySAP ERP Central Component (ECC) 5.0 and 6.0, SAP provides a set of seven tools that you can
link and schedule together to speed up all types of closing cycles — monthly, quarterly, and year end. I’ll
briefly describe each tool and provide a bit more in-depth description of the least-well-known and most
under-used of these tools — SAP Closing Cockpit. For a summary of the other six tools, see the sidebar,
“mySAP ERP Fast Close Tools." Closing Cockpit is divided into two basic parts: a template and a task
list. I’ll discuss the template in the next section.
Closing Cockpit Template
Figure 1 displays a typical Closing Cockpit template. You can configure the template from scratch or you
can start with a delivered template from SAP. No matter which type of Closing Cockpit you use, you can
configure a monthly closing template once and then reuse it multiple times as the year progresses. Within
this view, you can see three primary information panels found within any Closing Cockpit template.
Figure 1
The three primary information panels of a Closing Cockpit template
The first information panel on the left contains the template task list. You can configure the complete task
list containing the closing steps, called tasks, here. You can configure these tasks individually, and then
attach them to transaction codes, job programs, or job variants. In Figure 1, this task list is located on the
left side of the screen and set up to run the assigned tasks in Controlling Area 1000 and Company Code
5 (0005).
You can configure the task list to include any other controlling areas and company codes within your
system. The individual tasks are assigned to separate folders within the task list hierarchy. The folders
can correspond to the major activities found within each closing schedule. For example, in this simple
view the major steps in the closing task list are: opening the next period for posting (Open Next Period);
using Accrual Engine to calculate and post accruals (FI Accrual Processing); processing CO month-end
using a cost allocation cycle in CO (CO Month End Processing); using the new G/L for FI cash allocation
(Cash Allocation PCA’s – Bal Sheets); reconciling inter-company data (Inter-Company Reconciliation);
and locking the closing period (Close Last Period). Depending on your choice, the task can link directly to
a transaction code, program, or program variant. Each task type selection offers different options
depending on the user requirements.

Note
The names listed in these steps are the folder names. The actual steps are listed under each folder.
Closing Cockpit Task List
The second key feature of the template is scheduling the various tasks, which appears in the top-right
panel of Figure 1. This scheduling is based on a 0 day basis. A monthly close often is the first day of the
new accounting period. In the Offst/Time column, you can see the scheduling begins on -1 and ends on
+1 day. That means that the various scheduled tasks operate on either side of a specific date once the
user copies the template into a specific task list that users select from a specific date. Also, note that in
addition to the day schedule, the template owner schedules each task to begin at a specific time during
the day.
The third key feature of the template is the ability to control task execution sequence by linking or setting
dependencies among tasks, which you can see in the lower- right panel of Figure 1. This means you can
set priorities among tasks to ensure that the various tasks execute in order of precedence. In this
example, you do not want the CO cycle to run prior to executing the monthly accrual that posts additional
expenses into the CO cost centers.
By setting the dependencies as shown in the lower-right section in Figure 2, with task priority from the
bottom up, you must run the five tasks in the following order: the FI accrual (FI Accrual Processing), CO
month- end allocations (CO Month End Processing), FI cash balance sheet distribution (Cash Allocation
PCA’s – Bal Sheets), inter-company reconciliation (Inter-Company Reconciliation), and finally closing the
last period (Close Last Period). In fact, if the user for some reason activates the CO cycle manually prior
to the FI accrual, an error status flag results and the job halts, followed by a posted message within the
task list stating that the FI accrual must run successfully prior to the CO cycle. Note that this example
assumes the typical FI accruals should run and post the accrual amounts into the CO cost centers prior to
the CO cost allocation cycles; therefore, the dependencies are set to avoid an early activation of the CO
cost allocation cycles.

Additional Closing Cockpit Template Points
Here are some additional tips to remember regarding the Closing Cockpit template. The example shown
in this article is very simple; undoubtedly, the template required within your environment will be more
complex. During the template configuration you should ensure that you have a clear understanding of the
closing steps and the order in which you must complete them. Next, you have to decide how to execute
each task within the template — either manually or with a job variant. The option you choose depends on
how automatic or hands-off you wish the task list to be. If you want to control how to start and execute
each task, then you can start each task by hand; if you wish the tasks to start at a scheduled time without
manual intervention, you can configure them with a job variant.
Finally, it is quite easy to make changes to Closing Cockpit as required. The executable task list is simply
a copy of the most current template configuration. Closing Cockpit uses any changes that you make
within the template master in the next closing cycle, copying the task list from the new, revised Closing
Cockpit template.
Copy the Template into a Task List
Once you’ve completed the template configuration, the next step is copying the template into a usable
and executable task list. Figure 3 displays the actual configuration window to copy the template into an
executable task list.
Figure 3
Set up the task list
The key required fields when setting up the task list are Key Date and Status. The major difference
between the task list and the template is that you can only execute the tasks from a task list that is in
Released status and tied to a Key Date that you use for day-by-day scheduling of each task. You can set
up multiple task lists at one time, such as an entire year’s closing task lists.
In this example, I’ve copied the template into a task list and assigned a specific date of 10/31/2006.
Further, the new task list is identified as a monthly schedule task list, assigned to post into Posting Period
10 during Fiscal Year 2006. Finally, the Status is set to Released, which means the task list becomes
active and available for use. Also with this setting the task list automatically schedules tasks and executes
them based on the key date assigned to the task list.
Figure 4 displays the newly configured, ready-to-execute task list. At first glance, you might notice how
similar it is to the template. However, some significant differences exist. The three columns circled
in Figure 4 — Status, Spool, and JobDisplay — contain job status information. Remember, the major
difference between the template and the task list is that you have to use the task list to execute the
various tasks. These three columns display the status and results of each task as it completes. Also,
4. Page 4
within the Status column, an indicator light appears to set the task status as successful, still running, or
ended with an error.
Figure 4
Configured task list
At this point, the task list can execute the tasks according to the assigned schedule. The system arrives
at the assigned schedule by setting a specific calendar date and time to execute the task in the task list
based on the scheduled day of the task. The first tasks scheduled in the October 31 task list are Edit
Accrual Objects for existing objects and Set Up Accrual Engine Transaction for new accrual engines
(Figure 4). The execute icon tells the user that the task list owner must execute these tasks manually.
Also, according to the assigned schedule, the system could complete them one day earlier than the task
list key date, or October 30. You can confirm this setting under the Offst/Time column where these tasks
are set for a -1 day.
The next two tasks, Open Next Period for Posting and Calculate and Post Accruals, are also manual
executables. These indicate that there is no status update to the closing cockpits, but you have to
remember to check these tasks off manually. Next are two tasks that are configured as job variants,
identified by the right arrow icon . These tasks use the assigned job variant to execute the CO allocation
and FI cash distribution: CO Cost Allocation – Fast Close and Balance Sheet Cash Allocations. They run
automatically based on the scheduled time. As you can see, the CO allocation is scheduled to run at
09:00:00 and the FI cash distribution is scheduled to run at 17:45:00.
Also, again note the task dependencies settings at the bottom of the display. These three tasks must
execute successfully in order, from bottom to top. The CO cycle and FI cash allocation do not run if they
do not follow the accrual task completion.
In Figure 5, the system activates the task list automatically based on the key date and it is now in mid-
execution. In the top section, you can now see status indicators, spool files, and job logs available for
review. Starting from the top, you can see that the first two tasks were not executed. They do not have
green markers in the Status column, as they are not part of the normal closing process. The note
icon tells the task list owner that these tasks were not required. The owner of the specific task created
and posted the note.
5. Page 5
Figure 5
Task list executed
The next task Open Next Period for Posting has a green status. The person responsible for initiating this
task assigned the task to convey that you must complete it during the monthly closing cycle. Also, the
task owner entered a note in the task list stating that everything is fine and the closing process can
proceed.
The next two job variants, Calculate and Post Accruals and CO Cost Allocation – Fast Close, have kicked
off the CO cycle and the FI cash distribution cycles at the scheduled time. Each job completed
successfully and the system posts job logs and spool files automatically and ready for review.
The next task I/C Data Select (inter-company data selection) is manually executable and is scheduled for
18:00:00.
mySAP ERP Fast Close Tools
mySAP ERP provides several tools in addition to SAP Closing Cockpit that you can use according to your
individual needs. It is not necessary to employ all these tools to speed up the closing schedule, but these
are the ones that would likely have the most impact:
SAP NetWeaver Portal. SAP NetWeaver Portal provides a customizable single access point to SAP tools.
Accrual Engine. This is a new feature in mySAP ERP that automatically calculates and posts an accrual
based on changing requirements. For example, beginning at the first of the year, accounting establishes
an automatic accrual to allocate expected income from future rents received. During the year, the amount
received does not match the planned amount and you must reset the accrual. As a result of this
unplanned change, Accrual Engine can automatically recalculate the necessary monthly accrual amount
to ensure the accrual account zeroes out at month end. This eliminates the need to constantly verify and
recalculate the monthly accrual as circumstances change.
Inter-Company Reconciliation. One of the most time-consuming tasks for the closing process is
reconciling cross- posting between different divisions. Users often perform this tedious task in Microsoft
Excel spreadsheets, which takes a long time and can lead to inaccurate results. SAP’s inter- company
6. Page 6
reconciliation tool provides a cockpit-type option where you can review, adjust, and reconcile all postings
as required.
Business Consolidations. Once you have reconciled the inter-company transactions, the next step often is
to consolidate or roll up numbers. The new BW/SAP NetWeaver BI InfoCube-based version of SAP’s
consolidation tool automates this task. If you link it to the new G/L, you can save even more time as the
new G/L eliminates the need for the data staging ledger that is required using the classic G/L version.
mySAP Corporate Performance Monitor (CPM). mySAP CPM offers a highly visible graphic view of
results against plan and further analysis of the results against the overall corporate strategy. The
management cockpit presents the plan-to-actual view in a graphical/dashboard format. SAP Balanced
Scorecard in Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM) allows management to compare the current and
forecast results against the overall corporate objectives and strategy.
New G/L in mySAP ERP 2004 and mySAP ERP 2005. Of all the tools SAP provides, the new G/L is likely
the one tool to save the most time in the typical financial closing cycle. For example, the new G/L
eliminates many of the closing cycle data reconciliation steps — you no longer need FI/CO reconciliation
transaction KALC. Also, the new G/L eliminates the month- end build you had to perform via transaction
IKEK of the Profit Center Accounting (PCA) balances of A/P or A/R balances. Instead, the new G/L
generates a real- time balance sheet posting at the time of document entry.
