## Rules
When creating Integration with SAP Advanced Financial Closing formations, keep in mind the following rule:
- Only SAP S/4HANA Cloud systems that are registered with All Communication Scenarios or the Integration with SAP Advanced Financial Closing communication scenario groups, can be part of a Integration with SAP Advanced Financial Closing formation. See Register an SAP S/4HANA Cloud System in a Global Account in SAP BTP [page 2048].
## Prerequisites
- You are a global account administrator, or you are a system landscape administrator. See Working with Role Collections [page 2351].
- You have an Identity Authentication tenant. See Indentity Authentication: Initial Setup.
- Register the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system in the Systems page. When you register an SAP S/4HANA Cloud system, use the All Communication Scenarios or the Integration with SAP Advanced Financial Closing communication scenario groups when you get the registration token for the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system. This allows the automatic enablement of the SAP\_COM\_0566 communication scenario after the corresponding system is added to the formation of type Integration with SAP Advanced Financial Closing .
