For the instructions to update to the new version of the kit, see Updating the object-centric Accounts Payable Starter Kit.

This version of the Accounts Receivable Starter Kit gives you an enhanced Process Explorer in the Process Cockpit, with new Order to Cash and Accounting views.

Updating the object-centric Accounts Receivable Starter Kit has the instructions to update to the new version of the kit.

We've built a new version of the Material Allocation app using the latest features in Studio. You can easily customize the views with the new Studio experience's enhanced user interface. The app uses the new Optimization Engine for its calculations, and we’ve made these upgrades to the app’s content:

The Material Allocation app that's built on the new Studio experience is available in the Celonis Marketplace as a new package. You won’t be able to download it as an update to your existing object-centric Material Allocation app package - you’ll need to download and install it as a new installation (Installing the object-centric Material Allocation app has the steps). The new package has the same name as the old package, as it's a replacement for it, and we won’t be updating the old package built with the legacy Studio components.

For updates after version 2.0.0 of the package, we’ll clone the existing versions of your views, and add these to the package navigation along with the new versions of the views. (You can opt out of this by deselecting the “Duplicate copied assets before update” checkbox when you action the update.) Cloning the views means you won't lose the customizations you made to existing views, and you can copy them over to the new version of the views. Alternatively, you can discard any of the new views and revert to your existing versions. Updating the object-centric Material Allocation app has the instructions to update.

You can now import your own BPMN model files into Process Adherence Manager and check their conformance against target process models.

After refining your BPMN model using root cause analyses and analyzing end-to-end variants associated with specifc deviations, you can export your updated BPMN files from PAM so you can use them in your own systems.

For more information, see Creating your target model and Exporting a BPMN model.

We've changed how activity times display in Case Explorer.

By default, all activity times now display relative to the time of the first activity in the case.

When an activity is selected, the times displayed for all other activities will automatically update so they're relative to the time of the selected activity.

We know searching through countless lines of YAML code to find the right component can be frustrating. With this release, we've streamlined the experience: you can now jump directly to the relevant section when accessing YAML through the component settings.

To access the YAML for each component, click Options - Open YAML editor:

We've also made the following improvements:

To learn more about creating Studio views, see: Views.

You can now configure a condition list in your Studio Views. The condition list component allows you to view and monitor conditional attributes from your Knowledge Model (such as 'Material in Stock' and 'PO approval adherence'). With increased visibility of these conditional attributes, you can better understand how any violations impact your business KPIs.

In the following example, the condition list component is used to track Purchase Order payment conformance:

If you previously used the Execution Gap List component in our legacy Views, the condition list component can now be used for the same use cases.

In addition to fulfilling these use cases, the condition list component offers a number of key features and enhancements:

You can now configure a free text search component for your Studio View, allowing your App users to search across all components within that View. Search components can be customized to focus results on selected search parameters, to allow wildcards to be used, and to guide users with placeholder text.

Search components are best combined with a table component, such as in the following example. This search component has been configured to allow users to search the table based on country, city, customer name, and US state parameters:

You can also use search components as part of a filter bar, for example adding a 'Search by Country' search box to this filter bar for a Starter Kit:

For more information about this limited availability release, see: Search component.

And to learn more about configuring filter bars, see: Configuring a filter bar for your View.

We’ve improved the navigation in your Objects and Events environment. Instead of a navigation bar at the top of the content, you now navigate between the dashboard and the pages for objects, events, transformations, and perspectives in a navigation panel on the left side. We’ve also added the catalog page to the Objects and Events navigation panel to make it easier to access.

In this release of the object-centric Procurement Starter Kit, we’ve added a Value Framing view so you can easily calculate the value you could realize through process adjustments. Updating the object-centric Procurement Starter Kit has the instructions to update.

This release of the Deductions Leakage app for Accounts Receivable contains updated views for open deductions, including additional fields for sales order items, invoice items, delivery items, and goods issue information, as well as automatic sales order, delivery and invoice reconciliation. For reconciliation, the Open Deductions view now contains a quantity comparison showing deviations between ordered and delivered quantities for sales orders related to deductions, and a price comparison showing deviations between order unit prices and invoice unit prices. Users can now also update the fields used to match invoice references to deductions directly from the Settings View.

The Deductions Leakage app works on the Celonis catalog Accounts Receivable process for object-centric process mining, with a few custom additions. The app is in Limited Availability - if you are implementing object-centric process mining or plan to, and want to try the app out, talk to your Celonis point of contact. For the app documentation, see Deductions Leakage app - object-centric.

The new monitoring feature provides insight into how your Process Copilots are being used and the quality of the responses they are generating. Once an Admin user has activated this feature for your team by enabling the "Process Copilots Monitoring" toggle on the Admin & Settings screen, the new Monitoring screen will show details for each conversation in your Process Copilots. From this screen you can track the date and time of each conversation, if it is located in Studio or Apps, the user feedback for its responses, and how often it has been shared. You can also click on any conversation to view a full transcript of all questions and responses in that conversation.

Conversations are stored on the Monitoring screen for 180 days. You can filter the screen to view conversations from a specified timeframe, if the conversation was in Studio or an app, or based on the type of user feedback received.

We've improved the algorithm that's used to automatically adapt the column sizes for columns with the VARCHAR datatype. This improvement further accelerates your ETL data pipeline, including performance enhancements when extracting, transforming, and loading your Data Models. This feature is limited to Data Jobs currently, meaning it is not yet available for real time integrations using the Replication Cockpit.

For more information, see: Updating the on-premise JDBC extractor

We've added limited availability support for bulk exporting data from your Snowflake public instance when using our JDBC extractor. This release improves the extraction time when running full extractions into the Celonis Platform.

For more information, see: Snowflake.

We've created the Optimization Engine as an interface for you to customize the optimization model for existing applications, and create net-new models for your own use cases, without having to involve a Celonis engineer. The Optimization Engine is a frontend where you can create, populate, and solve Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models. For source data, it can use objects from a perspective, KPIs from a Knowledge Model, or a combination of both.

The Optimization Engine replaces the Celoptima optimization code for all users of the Material Allocation app - we'll migrate your existing configuration for you. It'll also be used in upcoming Celonis applications. The Optimization Engine runs through a dedicated Machine Learning job which we'll add to your team automatically, but as it's in Limited Availability status, we'll need to enable it before you can use it. If you want to try out the Optimization Engine, ask your Celonis point of contact. To read more, see Configuring the optimization model for the object-centric Material Allocation app.

The functionality of the graph layout in both Process Explorer and Variant Explorer has been improved without changing the the look of the Multi Object Process Explorer or how the user interacts with it.  The following changes have been implemented to improve how the graph layout in Process Explorer and Variant Explorer functions:

Celonis has launched an ODP extractor for S/4 HANA and SAP ECC. This extractor offers native data integration with SAP ECC and S/4 HANA. Note that currently only RFC level integration is supported. The option to use OData APIs with this extractor is in progress and will be available in early 2025.

If you would like this extractor enabled for your workspace, contact the Celopeers.

For more information about this limited availability release, see: Extracting data from S/4 HANA and SAP ECC via ODP Framework

In addition to attribute filters, you can now enable process flow and event filters for your Studio Views. When process filters are enabled for a View, app users will see two new built-in filter options:

In this example, a process flow filter is being used to show only data where an order is received, the item is ready, but the customer hasn't paid:

Process filters require at least one event log to be selected, with the option to select from existing event logs in the same Knowledge Model as the View or create a new event log using the PQL editor.

For more information about setting filters for App users, see: Temporary filters for Apps.
