SAP Period-End Close Controls

An automated pre-close control program

Running the same queries one by one every period takes time and leaves room for missed items. Period-End Close Controls completes all checks in seconds as a single program inside SAP, with no separate server, license or external connection.

Controls in scope

• Document balance and document split balance
• Period check and depreciation run
• GR/IR reconciliation
• Late-entered documents
• Open item aging
• Unusual posting scan

How to read the results

• Passed: The check completed without issues.
• Warning: Something needs attention but does not block closing.
• Failed: Do not close the period until this is fixed.
• Skipped: The check could not run due to missing data or settings.

Why it is safe

• The program never changes a record; it only reads and reports.
• Findings can be viewed at document level.
• The decision to correct stays with your finance team.
• Control thresholds are tuned to your company.
• Go-live, training and user documentation are included.
