Usability of MarketPlace Connectors in "REALITY"

 

Hi Team,

I have started my market place journey by installing SAP "Order to Cash" Connector.

 

Below was my experience :

1)I tried to install the app in studio but it gave multiple errors for the Data Model.

2)I looked at the data model and tried understanding it.

-There are no documents to understand why that data model is build in the way it is.

3)I looked at standard SAP tables and tried to understand it by looking into transformation.

4)Transformation does have big quereis and most of the places there is no explanation of what does those quereis mean.

5)I finally reached SAP functional consultant and technical resource to help me understand the quereies.

6)Currently i am working with them and reverse engineering to understand what has been provided with connector.

7)Parallely i raised a ticket to Celonis support for providing comprehensive documents but they responded they do not have comprehensive document but shared the basic once on schedule and extractions.

8)We need to introduce 1 or 2 custom tables in the standard so need to understand the standard implementation.

 

While searching on the net i came across very good docuemntation at this link https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/v2020.10/docs/order-to-cash-process

I wished Celonis would have had same to make our life easier.

 

It would be interesting to see what i am following is correct way or not.

How you guys have approached using marketplace connectors.

 

Dear @ravi.kumar23 ,

 

Wondering whether have you complete your enablement training? They will help you tremendously in your journey and advice not to start do anything serious with Celonis before completing them, risk at your own peril.

 

My person preferences and they are in order:

  1. https://academy.celonis.com/pages/category-daily-business - will help you understand Celonis main feature as business
  2. https://academy.celonis.com/pages/category-it-data-engineering - will help your data extraction, transformation, add custom table etc.
  3. https://academy.celonis.com/pages/category-asset-building - will help your studio / frontend development

 

Last but not least, I do agree few things are not documented yet but kindly check https://docs.celonis.com/en/order-management.html . If you counter issue, kindly post the details over here or create support ticket. Also check documentation in the App itself and make sure validation app is setup properly.

 

Welcome to journey!

happy to see you are pushing through.

Hi @Teuku Faruq  Thanks for your response!

We have been Celonis customer for a long time 4+ years now. We migrated from On-premise to EMS version in the hope that Apps would help us fast track our development and this was an attempt on the same.

We did the Celonis training from Celonis itself sometime back but that does not help us to get answers to above questions.

Hello @ravi.kumar23 , I do admit the connector is not 100% smooth, especially integration with latest starter kit, lots of things you need to adjust which sometimes documentation / training didnt cover as you said. You have to debug and solve it yourself.

 

Anyway, let me know your error detail, I will try my best to help.

 

Also it will make things easier if you know / have some SAP background when dealing with connectors. Data Model was created in certain way because that was how activity, case and dimension work in SAP.

 

Last but not least, if you need holding hand, it is best to reach your customer value manager. He will able to help you advise the right path.
