Use

In Closing Cockpit, you can create and schedule remote tasks for the purpose of processing tasks from other systems.

To be able to centrally execute a close in Closing Cockpit in a distributed system landscape, the system requires a connection to SAP Central Process Scheduling by Redwood (SAP CPS)

This is an additional function that is only available if you have implemented SAP Central Process Scheduling, in addition to SAP ERP. Closing Cockpit provides a connection to SAP Central Process Scheduling.

Prerequisites

You have made all settings required for connecting to SAP Central Process Scheduling.

For users to be able to execute remote tasks, they also must be given authorizations for the respective activities. You have assigned the authorization object S_BTCH_EXT with the respective activities to the users. The permissible activities are listed in the authorization object.
