Excellent way of explaining how to use the Closing Cockpit. Some of the tips towards the end of this video were really useful, for e.g., even if a client doesnt use this, they can always refer to the template to ensure they are not missing any closing related tasks....Very Useful Video....thanks Abdullah
Wow. This was very useful. Everything was explained in a clear and simple manner. Thanks and appreciate your effort. Also keep such useful videos coming.
Hi Abdullah loads of thanks for sharing such a valuable information at free of cost . Hats off to your deep knowledge. Its just I could learn so many things referring your videos over last month including product costing which could have costed me thousands of rupees. Thank you very much. Please keep on posting such amazing videos. The best part of videos are that they are short and to the point. Even 15 min videos of yours adds to loads of knowledge. Thanks
Very well explained Abdullah! Thank you 2 suggestions to move forward with next videos: - demo the fcc reporting capabilities in Fiori through the activation of Smart business for financial close - maybe a headsuo on the futur of fcc, as it is being replaced by AFC ( Advanced Closing Cockpit) in the cloud Thanks again, will be happy to exchange with you if any further questions
Good day Abdullah, hope you are doing great. First of all thanks a lot for the great informative video it has also provided with a very good idea about how we can use SAP provided tools. Jazak Allah Khair
Hello Abdullah - it was very useful - learned much things as required for me - Thanks a lot!! Expecting couple of videos related to IDOCS- APP & BRS, Migration etc....
Thank you very much Abdullah! I was just looking for what need to be done during month end close and found your video of this very useful tool built in SAP. Would you make another video of the most commonly used closing tasks and what they mean?
@@AbdullahGalal That would be great! Also do you have video available to give adivce to people at entry level of SAP FICO or want to study FICO module, especially what kind of accounting or finance knowledge is required as the fundamental knowledge to start, career path, etc.
This was just Brilliant AG. actually I got a chance to work on closing cockpit and was not aware of it so had a lot problems, if this would have been there then this might have helped me lot. Also if you can include Asset Dep run in it and can show us how this executed would be of great help. Lastly we saw in the video Clander column, I think you missed the details of it required here, please if you can add the purpose of this as well - Many thanks
Hi Omesh, the closing cockpit is covered in a PDF of 220 pages in SAP academy, impossible to cover in videos :) It has soo much more to offer, the video only covers the introduction
@@AbdullahGalal Thanks for your response AG, even this video is very useful so once again thanks for that. I was following steps as shown by you in your video and I got stuck in "Create Periodic Task List" I created the task list but when opening it in "FCLOCO" tcode it is available in list but not getting open for execution, can you please suggest
Hi Mr Abdullah it's amazing to see you back I hope you are well .. Mr Abdullah I just like if you can make some videos of the process of accounting as an end user for example how to make the transaction from the invoice and calculate the VAT on invoices and after that if I like to make a report on any account how to get it and finally how I get the financial statements from SAP , I hope you would find time and effort to make that as so many need this as an end user on sap Accounting , thanks in advance rabena yagaziek khaier
Hi Ahmed I'm doing one video everyweek and I already covered most of these topics: > Posting a supplier invoice with VAT > Generating Financial statements > Closing entries and many others, please check the videos
This was very helpful. I do have some queries as below. 1. Do they have a provision to upload any supporting documents when the task is marked as complete ? If yes, what type of documents ? 2. If the customer is having multiple instance of SAP, then close cockpit needs to be deployed in each instance or it is integrated with all instances ? 3. Do they have Audit trail ? If yes, please elaborate. 4. Any details regarding license concept for close cockpit ? Thanks in advance if you could share some insights on above mentioned points.
Dear Abdullah, thanks for the great content! I am trying to find if you have anything on electronic bank statement process/demo. Are you planning on doing it anytime soon? THANKS as always!
Very well explained! But I have a question about Fiori: in the task types you can use transactions or programs, but is it also possible to add apps? Our customer wants to use apps only...
Hi Abdullah, first of all thank you very much! Can you please explain me how to remove the task number from the closing structure on the left? In my structure I have ID task number and then the task "description", I just want to have the description without task number.
Hi Abdullah, First thanks a lot for your valuable videos.. i have watched most of topics and really its very helpful and enhance my knowledge deeply.. I have 7 years of experience in FICO support unfortunately i didn't have chance to work on E2E implementation project from beginning to end so could you please upload such videos where we can get a deep understanding of a New Project with SAP Methodology including RICEFW understanding and DATA MIGRATION from non-sap to SAP System. It would be great help for me if you will upload such videos.. Once again thanks a lot for your support..
Hi Abdullah! Thank you for the video, it was really enlightening. I do have one question though. Our key date is the last Friday of the month and usually when we have planned offset days +1 for some tasks, they are shown in the FCLOCO on Monday. However some tasks that have +1 are shown on Saturday (a non-working day). So my question is how does the cockpit define when +1 is next working day, i.e. Monday, and when +1 is the next calendar day, i.e. Saturday? Is there an easy way to configure this task by task? Thanks!
Hi Abdullah , This video was like guide for me to understand the FCc process. Thank you very much . One doubt , can we modify the functionality of setting offset and duration based on business hours. right now it is 24 hours timeline.
Thanks Abdullah, great video. Will the status of task changes automatically after executing the task or changing the task status manually is the only option?
Hi Abdullah, How can we assign the company code to closing cockpit. E.g: If we have multiple company codes, how can we segregate cockpit for company codes. Do we need to create multiple templates and task lists?
Thanks Abdullah for this, I am working for a dairy cooperative that currently has a long month end processs. Do you have a list of activities or processes in s/4 hana for closing inculuding sales accounting jobs needed for close or production related close activites?
Thanks Abdullah... It was a very elaborative demo of the FCC functionality in S4. I had some questions. 1. Could you please clarify if task lists for month-end closing needs to be created for every month? Or its just defined for one month and for the subsequent months the task list is automatically created? 2. What happens in case of an exception or error handling?
Hi Piu, My information on FCC is basic, but I will answer as much as I know For the task list, yes I create them every month In case of error or exceptions the step can be marked as not processed or not passed, FCC is only a tracking tool
Thanks for the video. Just wanted to know on how can I add the workflow capability to the Closing Cockpit? In a big organization, there might be 50+ users performing closing tasks and how I can effectively inform them on when their task is due? Would assume that possibly a message in myinbox might help !! Any thoughts here ??
Very useful thanks very much and please keep continue .Just question I understood now I should to create task list for every month so it's big effort not have any tools to copy template and adjust regard to each month to facility generate task list ?
Hey Abdullah Thank you so much, it helps a lot. Can you share with as more knowloge about SAP Financial Closing and Cockpit ? have you some other materials ?
Nice one! I've no experience with this, just checked the help page help.sap.com/docs/SAP_FINANCIAL_CLOSING_COCKPIT_ADD-ON/815d17dbf80e447282bd55cf45a93ba8/b5f88508243945c9be3e70e6c8c8f30f.html?locale=en-US Will see if I can do something
Boss, I have a request Can you assist to make a detail video on how to prepare monthly/annual P&L from F.01 and how to get GL data profit center wise, I want to learn this thing.
Hello, As far as the steps are concerned 1.Create a templete 2.Create Tasklist the is it creating task or creating dependencies can someone please clarify? thanks in advance
Dear Abdullah, thank you very much for this video. It's very helpful! But I have one question. Are the transactions FCLOCO, FCLOCOC, ... part of the basic software? I don´t understand the difference between these transactions and the Add-On SAP Financial Closing Cockpit 2.0.. Can you help me?
Hi Sathish, I haven't used SCMA but I know it's scheduling manager and can be used to schedule anything so maybe you can use it to do a similar function, but I'm sure it won't be like FCLOC as it's mad specifically for finance
I am looking at the cockpit and I don't see any templates for funds management transactions. Only FI and CO. Can the cockpit be used for FM transactions such as commitment, Budget and fund balance carryforwards at year end?
Thanks a lot. Its very helpfull. just 1 question, i see you can assign different users for the different tasks, how they know its his turn to excecute his task? is there some way to send them an email or something like that? Thanks again, im from Peru.
