Prerequisites for the object-centric Payment Terms Optimizer app
Before you set up the object-centric Payment Terms Optimizer app, you’ll need to enable and configure the Accounts Receivable process from the Celonis catalog. Load the object-centric data model with your data, and validate that it’s all working in the standard Accounts Receivable perspective. Then publish it to the production environment.
Note
The Payment Terms Optimizer app is designed to work with SAP ECC out of the box. If your source data is in an Oracle system, ask your Celonis point of contact to connect you with the Business Apps team for help configuring the app.
To connect a source system to the OCPM Data Pool and create objects and events from your data, see Quickstart: Extract and transform your data into objects and events.
For instructions on working with perspectives, see Using objects and events for process mining.
In SAP ECC, master data payment terms for the order-to-cash process are stored in multiple customer structures, such as customer profiles at the company code and sales organization levels. You’ll need to check your data jobs against the list of required tables and columns, and add any columns you aren’t already extracting. Required tables and fields for SAP ECC explains how.
To support the app, you’ll need to create the custom object type MasterPaymentTerms, add the transformation for it, and extend the Celonis catalog Accounts Receivable perspective to add it. You’ll also need to add custom attributes and relationships to the Celonis object types CustomerAccountDebitItem and SalesOrderItem, with transformations. Extending the Accounts Receivable process with payment terms tells you how.
If you need to get help with any of the app’s prerequisites or setup steps, Support tells you how.
