Count Filtered Cases

Helly everyone, I am currently searching for an opportunity to display two filtered KPIs stacked on each other. I have already found out about the stacking function. Now I am struggling with counting the cases filtered within the formular. I tried something like COUNT_TABLE(Table1(CASE WHEN Table1.Filter_Column = Filter_Word THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) I also tried it with the simple COUNT function as well. Both do not work, respectively give the intended result (Count Table does not work, Count simply gives a number for every occurence of that criterion) But what I want is the number of cases where that exact criterion is true. As a background, my filter criterion is always valid for the whole case, so if one activity of a case has that criterion, every activity of that case will have it. It actually seems so simple, but I just dont get it right. I am very thankful for your help. Kind regards Matthias

Unknown origin of GR Tasks in the default Celonis Table “Activities”

Hello Celonis Team and community, Im currently working on topics like planning adherence and schedule adherence. The last one is basically an OTD (on time delivery) KPI, but only related to the plant performance. Based on my company process, the GR date (goods receipt date) is the moment when the clock stops and the plant on time delivery is measured. To my surprise, there are different GR types (see list below) and Ive asked internally the meaning and the original data fields in SAP. Unfortunately, it seems that these activities are standard Celonis content, whose definition/construct is not visible to us (not even in HANA - database level). Therefore, we are not able to determine the meaning nor the origin of them. It is appreciated to receive a clarification of all possible GR tasks and the logic behind it (e.g. SAP original data fields). Thank you in advance for your support. With kindest regards, Francesca GR for Order GR for sales ord.st. GR f. sls.or.st. rev GR for acc.assgt rev

Sort chart by hidden dimension

Hello Team, a quick question: in Celonis chart components is it possible to perform sorting on the dimension which is then hidden? In OLAP we can hide the dimensions, I dont see such option for example for column chart. In our case we want to sort payment terms with their due date from earliest to latest (so 00 is due immediately, 30 is due in 30 days etc.) But now we need show a combination of payment term and this additional number with days). image1397586 29.6 KB

Conformance_New Process Models with Return Loops

Hello everyone, I am currently trying to set up a conformance analysis in Celonis. Thereby, I want to create a new process model for comparison. I have the new process model only available as a graphical version of the target process. However, as I am talking about an engineering process, return loops within this process are allowed and not a violation. Basically, I need the opportunity to allow some of those return loops as conforming processes. Whitelisting every violation case is in this case very troublesome. Therefore, I tried simply reconnecting the activities with arrows (see attached image) and gateways. Both do not seem to work. If anyone created process models like this or might have an idea for me, I am very grateful. Kind regards Matthias Ertl Example_New%20Process%20Model854260 6.35 KB

Normalize calculation result in table based on another value?

Dear fellow process miners, Im currently struggling implementing a normalization of a result in a table. It seems to be impossible to achieve that an OLAP table in Celonis. Heres my problem: Every case has a list of 0 to N events that affect the duration of the case. Its a simple parent-child relationship in the data model. If no event happened to a case, there will be no record in the child table. Now I created a simple OLAP table with the event category (event.category) as dimension. My two KPI columns so far are The number of events of that category as COUNT(DISTINCT event.key) The sum of delay in the process, caused by that event as SUM(event.delay). Now, I want to normalize the delay to 100 total cases. Say, I have 15 events, causing 15 minutes of delay. In total, I have 250 cases. What Im trying to achieve is the following simple formula: (SUM(delay)/Total number of cases)*100, which should be (15/250)*100 = 6. However, this seems to be impossible to achieve in Celonis as GLOBAL(

Order to Cash - Formula for selection of customers ordering via a defined order channel

Hi there, I work on an analysis to monitor, which sales order channel our customers use. Therefor I need a button for each order channel, where a viewer can select all customers ordering e.g. via EDI at on click. So the Viewer can analyse all customers with the possibility of ordering via EDI and can identify which other order channel those customers use. At the moment, the viewer has to select via a filter order channel EDI, then select all customers and remove the EDI filter, because otherwise the viewer can see only sales order items received via EDI. Can someone help me with the formula please? Best regards, Carina

No common parent for calculating time difference

Hi all, Currently we are doing an analysis on late Goods Receipt (i.e. Invoice receipt happens before Goods receipt). This is done based on the data model below: image.png1032482 32.3 KB However, now we got stuck on the issue how to calculate the time difference between the goods receipt and the invoice receipt. Using DATEDIFF(dd, MSEG.BUDAT_MKPF, RBKP.BUDAT) results in the error that these tables do not have a common parent in the schema. Any ideas on how to link these fields and calculate the delta in days? Thanks!

Grouping invoice values as dimension

Dear Celonis community, I wonder if you have an idea how to approach the following question: we want to define an approval limit for vendor invoices.to visualize the current distribution of invoices, we show the invoice numbers and aggregated values by grouped invoice value (as in the following bar chart prepared in MS Excel). Invoice_Value_Grouping.png1130744 35.3 KB Now, we would like to replicate this or a similar view in Celonis directly. Unfortunately, I cannot identify a standard Celonis functionality to group invoice values into n clusters as dimension. (The existing bucketing function is not flexible enough.) Question: did anyone already face a similar question and can share a way how to approach this? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jochen

Filter on current status or Activity

Dear Team, We are trying to create a dashboard with different KPIs. We have a scenario that we would like to filter in cuirrent status of the order. When we try to use Case ends with then there could be still some activites happening after that status and thus we dont see the results. Also, we would like to filter as an OR condition on multiple activities. FILTER MATCH_ACTIVITIES ( _CEL_O2C_ACTIVITIES.ACTIVITY_EN, NODE_ANY [ CRM Order: Released, CRM Order: Open, CRM Order: In process ] ) = 1; FILTER MATCH_ACTIVITIES ( _CEL_O2C_ACTIVITIES.ACTIVITY_EN, NODE [ CRM Order Item: Contains Errors ] ) = 1; FILTER CRMD_ORDERADM_H.PROCESS_TYPE in (ZTA, ZFD); In nut shell we want all the orders which are in Open, In process or released and contains error for certain process types. We are missing on how to apply filter on activities? Can someone help here? Thanks Naveen Gupta

PU_Sum; aggregation over Sales Order

Hi All, As example reflecting only 1 specific SO, we currently have the following situation: All deliveries/billings from SO line items 10, 20 and 30 have a date in Q1 or Q2, whereas the date of the delivery/billing related to SO line item 40 is in Q3. Only Q1 and Q2 data is loaded in Celonis, so the delivery/billing related to item 40 is not yet loaded. Now wed like to calculate the total billed quantity for this specific Sales Order. As expected, PU_SUM(VBAP, _CEL_O2C_CASES.INVOICE_QTY) returns 40000, 40000 and 31600 for so lines 10, 20 and 30 respectively. However, if we want to aggregate over SO instead of SO line item and use PU_SUM(VBAK, _CEL_O2C_CASES.INVOICE_QTY), it returns 120000 whereas we only expect 111600. Any idea whats causing this sum of 120000 and how it can be solved to show the aggregation on SO level of only the loaded delivery/billing documents? Thanks

Segregation of Duties

Hi all, We are using a dedicated Segregation of Duties dashboard to analyze cases where two activities are processed by the same person (e.g. Creation of PO and Releasing the PO). In this dashboard, the viewer selects two activities, which shall not be performed by the same user to see in how many cases there is a violation. See here the PQL statement: avg (case when PU_first(EKPO,"_CEL_P2P_ACTIVITIES".USER_NAME, _CEL_P2P_ACTIVITIES.ACTIVITY_EN = <%=From%> AND _CEL_P2P_ACTIVITIES.USER_TYPE <> B) = PU_first(EKPO,"_CEL_P2P_ACTIVITIES".USER_NAME, _CEL_P2P_ACTIVITIES.ACTIVITY_EN = <%=To%>) then 1.0 else 0.0 end) * 100 By checking the violations in detail, Ive recognized that there are cases where Person A creates a PO, Person B approves the PO and afterwards Person A changes some field in the PO (e.g. Net Order Price). Due to this change, the release indicator is AUTOMATICALLY changed from B (release) to R (not released). This case is shown as a viola
