Customers who use the Closing Cockpit in


ECC can continue to use the Closing Cockpit
in SAP S/4HANA.
NOTE: 2332547 - S4TWL - Closing Cockpit with S/4HANA OP

The functionality of the standard Closing cockpit (without license) is


available, but defined as "not the target architecture" in SAP
S/4HANA 1511, 1610 or subsequent releases. See SAP note Closing
2269324 – Compatibility Scope Matrix for SAP S/4HANA, on- Cockpit
premise edition. Thus transaction codes CLOCO, CLOCOC and
CLOCOS are supported but are part of compatibility scope in
S/4HANA OP. The Business Functions FIN_ACC_LOCAL_CLOSE,
FIN_ACC_LOCAL_CLOSE_2, FIN_ACC_LOCAL_CLOSE_3
(requiring a license for SAP Financial Closing cockpit) are flagged SAP S/4HANA
as obsolete in S/4HANA OP.
If any of the Business Functions listed above are active, consider to
use the Add-On Financials Closing Cockpit 2.0 instead.
