These new features will provide Admins with an additional option for their AI services, as well as providing both more insight into where their assets are being used and more control over the AI Output consumption.Admins will be able to configure the Bring your own Model (BYOM) option to connect self-hosted LLMs on Azure, AWS and OpenAI compliant environments to their Celonis teams. This feature allows Admins to reuse their existing LLM deployments in Celonis. Users can also see the specifics of their AI consumption in the Consumption Details screen by clicking the “See consumption details” in the upper right of the AI Settings screen. From this screen, users can see the total number of outputs being consumed by each Service Provider, as well as a more detailed breakdown of each AI product in the Consumers table, including the assigned LLM, when the product was last used, and the number of outputs consumed. The new AI Assets in Studio tab provides a detailed breakdown of the team’s AI Assets, such as Annotation Builders and Process Copilots, that are currently in use. From this tab, Admins can see where each AI asset is being used, the type of asset, the LLM assigned, and the service provider. Admins can also use the toggle switch to disable individual assets and pause their AI Output consumption. For more information, see AI Settings.DATA INTEGRATION Changes to Celonis IP addresses  We’ve added Celonis IP as origin addresses for eu-2, jp-1, uk-1 and us-2. If you have IP allowlisting configured for Celonis-originating traffic, you must add the following IP addresses to avoid connectivity issues with cloud databases and/or on-premises services: Realm IPs to be added eu-2 20.31.2.184 20.31.2.185 20.31.2.186 jp-1 20.44.169.64 20.44.169.65 20.44.169.66 uk-1 51.142.213.244 51.142.213.245 51.142.213.246 us-2 20.99.152.112 20.99.152.113  For:A full list of Celonis IP as origin addresses for eu-2, jp-1, uk-1 and us-2, see Celonis IPs as origin. Information about subsequent steps, see Action require after 2025-09-17. DATA INTEGRATION Zero-copy connectivity with Microsoft Fabric [Public Preview] You can now establish zero-copy connectivity between your Microsoft Fabric enterprise data lake and the Celonis Platform, allowing you to share data between the platforms with zero latency. This means that any updates in your data lake are automatically shared to your Celonis data pool.The benefits of this connection include:Enables you to mirror your Microsoft Fabric data to Celonis via a zero-copy integration. Embeds Celonis as a native workload within your Microsoft Fabric environment. Secures your data as it remains in its original location, preserving your data governance.To learn more about connecting to your Microsoft Fabric account, see: Microsoft Fabric.MACHINE LEARNING Updated user interface for the Machine Learning Workbench  The user interface for the Machine Learning Workbench (MLWB) is being updated with a cleaner and more modern look that is more aligned with the rest of the Celonis platform. This new interface does not provide any additional functionality, so it will not change how users interact with their existing workbenches, but this update will make it easier for Celonis to release new MLWB features in the future. This new interface will be applied to all existing workbenches automatically, however, users will still be able to access the previous interface by clicking the Back to the old UI link in the upper right corner. Users can then click the Go to the new UI link in the older interface to return to the updated version. PI GRAPH Run multiple data jobs for different perspectives You can now run multiple object-centric data jobs in parallel for different perspectives. If there are overlaps in your required objects or events, the respective transformation will be queued to avoid read-write conflicts.In this example, a 'Sales Order' object is being used in both the Accounts Receivable (AR) and Order Management (OM) processes. These data jobs are scheduled to run at the same time:When you check the transformation logs, you can then seen that the OM task is queued while the AR task runs. Once the AR task has finished running, the OM automatically executes:For more information, see: Creating custom transformations. PI GRAPH Transformation enhancements  We've made a number of enhancements to our Objects & Events transformations, including the following:Running arbitrary SQL: You can now run any SQL in the SQL editor, regardless of whether the ID column in populated. This enables you to write directly in the SQL editor, rather than returning to the Data Integration area to write a query. Script errors now highlighted: When running a transformation, script errors are now highlighted. A warning message is displaying which details the missing objects, lines, and columns, making it easier for you to locate and correct issues. Select perspectives when manually running data jobs: When executing an object-centric data jobs manually, you can now select the relevant perspective(s). The relevant transformations for this perspective are then run automatically. Duplicate primary key errors: Rather than waiting until the end of the pipeline for the data model load, duplicate primary keys now cause an error directly within the transformations. Dynamic sizing of information in transformations editor: You can now dynamically view relevant information such as the Data Source schema explorer without the need to expand/shrink panels. This reduces the number of clicks needed, significantly saving you time.For more information about modelling your objects and events, see: Creating custom transformations. PI GRAPH Upgrades to the import from table process  The Import from table process in the Objects and Events module has been updated with the following changes: When importing from a table, users can now create relationships between objects being imported and existing object types. Previously, relationships could only be created with other object types being imported. With this upgrade, the Target dropdown on the Create object to object relationship screen now includes “Existing Object Types” in addition to the objects being imported. Selecting one of these options allows users to create a relationship between an object being imported and those existing object types. If the user selects the foreign key from the source object, the transformation will still be created automatically when selecting an existing object type as the target. When creating an object type by importing from a table, users will now receive the Import from table prompt to choose their data source and begin the import process. Previously, users would see a blank screen and had to click the Import button again to begin the import process. This new prompt simplifies the import process and guides users through selecting their data source, choosing the tables to import and mapping the table columns. The process for creating new object types has been modified so that valid transformations will be enabled by default. When the new object type is created, the transformations will be validated automatically and set to “enabled” by default. The discard changes dialog has been updated for clarity. This dialog now reads “You have unfinished work” to communicate that the import process has not been completed. This dialog is only displayed if the tables have been selected and the user clicks the “Cancel” link. If the user clicks “Cancel” before selecting tables, the dialog will not be displayed and the user will return to the Objects screen. PROCESS ADHERENCE MANAGER Support added for dynamically-generated or relabelled events and case-centric data models  Process Adherence Manager now supports dynamically-generated or relabelled events, allowing you to specify the granularity of your process by adding attributes to existing event types. This means you don't need to know all the event types you'll need when you start creating your model; instead you can simply and flexibly add them as required.You can define dynamically-generated or relabelled events in the following ways:In the Object and Event Log Builder. In the Knowledge Model event log definition using PQL.You can also rename dynamically-generated or relabelled events in the PQL Editor.We’ve also added support for case-centric data models, meaning Process Adherence Manager now works for both object-centric and case-centric data models.To support these enhancements, provide better alignment with Studio and give a more consistent experience across the Celonis Platform, we've also made the following changes:Lead event logs are no longer used in Model Miner.  Dedicated event tables are no longer created for each event type; instead all event logs are added to a single Process Adherence Manager event table. When exploring deviations, data coverage now shows the percentage of all cases across all involved event logs (weighted average). We’ve removed the event/event log filter to improve consistency with Views.STUDIO Copying filters between Views [Private Preview] Any filters you set in a View can now also be copied into other Views within your Celonis Platform team, saving you from manually configuring them each time. Copied filters are saved on a clipboard for 10 minutes, with a prompt for you to apply the filter when you open subsequent Views. To learn more about copying filters between Studio Views, see: Copying filters between Views.During a Private Preview, only customers who have agreed to our Private Preview usage agreements can access this feature. Additionally, the features documented here are subject to change and / or cancellation, so they may not be available to all users in future.For more information about our Private Preview releases, including the level of Support offered with them, see: Feature release types. STUDIO Custom KPI Groups in Process Explorer and Variant Explorer  A new feature has been added to both Process Explorer and Variant Explorer which enables analysts to create groups of custom process KPIs that can be displayed in the process graph. Analyst users can create a KPI Group by selecting existing process-related KPIs or defining their own KPIs using the visual editor. The analyst can then share these KPI Groups with their end users who will be able to display these KPI Groups in the process graph of their Process Explorer or Variant Explorer. KPI Groups can be created for both case-centric (single event log, multi-event log) and object-centric process exploration components.NoteCustom KPI Groups are only available in Studio Views. For components created in Legacy Views, KPIs are still defined using YAML in the Knowledge Model.The new built-in visual editor allows users to create KPIs without advanced YAML skills and speeds up the creation process for new KPIs. Users are able to define KPIs directly in Studio without having to switch to the Knowledge Model or perform manual coding.Both KPI Groups and the individual KPIs within those groups are created and stored in a Knowledge Model. As a result, if a change is made to an individual KPI, that change is automatically updated in any KPI Groups to which that KPI was added.For more information see Custom KPI Groups in Process Explorer and Custom KPI Groups in Variant Explorer. STUDIO Updated Python tool for Process Copilots  The Python tool in Process Copilots is designed to allow ad-hoc Python code executions. With this launch, we’re releasing a visual editor for the Python tool and allowing users to customize the tool. This editor can be added to the configuration settings of a Process Copilot as a tool to utilize both of these configuration methods.In the Intelligent Configuration, the Large Language Model (LLM) generates Python code based on the questions users ask to this Process Copilot. For Process Copilots utilizing the Intelligent Configuration, the Python code is generated ad-hoc as questions are asked. In the Intelligent Configuration, to run Python code, the LLM needs a dataset on which to run the code. To provide the Python tool with an available dataset, you need to have at least one data retrieval tool activated (get_data, pql_tool, get_process_data - depending on the use case). In the Custom Configuration you can manually define the dataset to run the Python code on. Users can then enter their Python code in an editable interface which will work dynamically to expand the code as it is written. This interface also allows users to define which inputs can be used as variables or parameters by end users when asking questions in the chat. Users can also use the built-in code assistant to create their Python code using natural language commands to describe the use for this code.For more information, see Tool Activation.

For example, users can hide an activity that occurs in all cases or activities that are generated automatically as part of the workflow. By hiding these activities, the user can focus on the activities they are most interested in.NoteThis feature is only accessible in Process Explorer when using sliders to control the process graph and will not be available when using the panel.The menu is displayed in the upper right of the Process Explorer and shows both the total number of activities and the number of activities currently selected, such as 17 of 21 events in the multi-object screenshot below. After clicking to expand the menu, users can select the check boxes to indicate which activities to include in the process graph. Removing the check mark will cause an activity to be hidden. Activities menu - case centric Events menu - multi-object Once all activities have been selected, click Update to apply the changes and refresh the process graph. The totals and KPIs on the process graph are updated based on the selected activities. The global sliders are also updated to reflect the total number of available activities based on the menu selections.NoteHiding an activity from the process graph does not filter out cases with that activity, it only prevents it from displaying in the graph. The counts in the process graph will be updated when an activity is hidden and are updated again if an activity is added back to the process graph.For more information, see Show / Hide events. STUDIO Create custom KPI Groups in Process Explorer and Variant Explorer  This feature is currently available as a Private Preview onlyDuring a Private Preview, only customers who have agreed to our Private Preview usage agreements can access this feature.

APPS Platform Adoption Monitor app PI GRAPH  Skip simple transformations until data model load  STUDIO Embedding external webpages using iframes in Views STUDIO  Create and embed reusable View modules in Studio packages  STUDIO Knowledge Model Link  STUDIO Recently deleted package assets stored for 7 days  STUDIO EXPORT ALL service permissions added STUDIO Chart component accessibility update Keep track of Celonis platform changes:Explore Planned Releases Subscribe to our bi-weekly email for a summary of what’s changed ​​​​​​ Sign up separately for platform status alerts. APPS Platform Adoption Monitor app The Platform Adoption Monitor app is available to download from the Celonis Marketplace. We've created it to improve on the platform adoption dashboard that was only available to admins in Celonis teams (see Platform adoption dashboard). The app includes views for you to track logins, active users, and usage of published Studio packages and apps, like you could with the platform adoption dashboard, but with more statistics and the improved functionality of the new Studio experience. Because it's a Marketplace app, you can give users who aren't admins permission to see the views. You can also edit the views, or create your own platform adoption tracking views based on the case-centric data model supplied with our extractor.To use the app, you'll need to enable the login history and the Studio tracking service in your Celonis team. The app can pseudonymize the identifiers for individual users - check whether your local legislation requires that. For the app documentation, see Platform Adoption Monitor app. PI GRAPH  Skip simple transformations until data model load  To reduce the time it takes to run your object-centric transformations, we now skip over any simple transformation scripts that don't include a join or WHERE clause, and aren't new or changed. We can do this for attribute scripts and relationship scripts (though relationship scripts usually will involve a join). We'll comment the skipped transformations out in the data pool, and replace them at publish time with a view that we only load when you load a perspective that uses the object type or event type. If you change the transformation script (or we do as part of an update to the Celonis catalog), we'll make the edits to the view when you republish your transformations.STUDIO Embedding external webpages using iframes in Views You can now embed iframes into your Studio Views, allowing you to display both static and dynamic external content within your applications. Static content: An iframe where the URL displayed doesn't change, for example Celonis.com. Static content is the same for all users. Dynamic content: An frames where a placeholder variable is used to determine the URL, often triggered by user inputs (such as entering a value or selecting from a list). This placeholder variable can be combined with other View components, including input boxes, input lists, and input dropdowns so users can dynamically view the iframe content relevant to them. In this dynamic content example, an input dropdown has been configured so the user can select different Celonis.com product pages to display in the frame.To learn more about embedding iframes to your Studio Views, see:  iframes STUDIO  Create and embed reusable View modules in Studio packages View modules are a package asset type that allow you to re-use configured View components across multiple Views within a Studio package. Instead of configuring each View from scratch, you can save time by centrally managing and then embedding a module to your View. And by editing a View module, all embedded instances of that module are automatically updated too. STUDIO Knowledge Model Link  The Knowledge Model Link in the PQL editor has been enhanced, enabling consistent naming and descriptions for your calculations across the Celonis Platform.Included in the Knowledge Model Link enhancements are:Read-only mode removed: You can now edit the content within the PQL editor, removing the previous link. Automatic re-linking: When reverting any edits you've made, the Knowledge Model Link automatically reappears. Auto-generated attributes supported: If an attribute is auto-generated, the Knowledge Model Link is now available. Component level overwrites: You can now change the display name, format, and unit for a component without losing the rest of the metadata.For more information about using the PQL editor, see: PQL editor.STUDIO Recently deleted package assets stored for 7 days Deleted package assets, such as Views and Knowledge Models, are now stored for 7 days in the Recently deleted area of your package settings. Deleted assets can then be restored individually, returning them to the list of active assets in the package.After 7 days, recently deleted assets are then permanently deleted and can't be recovered or restored.For more information about managing packages and package settings, see: Settings. STUDIO EXPORT ALL service permissions added We've introduced an enhancement to our Studio service permissions that gives admins granular control over exporting content (i.e. packages, assets) to other teams. The EXPORT ALL permission, managed from the Permissions area of Admin & Settings, gives users the following abilities:Copy-To: The user can utilize the exporting functionalities copy-to to export package and asset configurations to other teams (i.e. instances). This feature can be accessed from within Studio by clicking Options - Copy to: Content-cli: The user can utilize the content-cli to export package and asset configurations.Currently, users with EDIT permissions can export content without restrictions. When this feature is introduced, these users will receive EXPORT_ALL permission by default to reflect their current capabilities, so they won’t be affected by the migration. We recommend reviewing which users shouldn't be able to export content outside of their teams, and to proactively remove the EXPORT_ALL permission.The EXPORT_ALL permission requires users to have EDIT permission to ensure proper access, without it, the content won’t be visible.For more information about Studio service permissions, see: Studio service permissions. STUDIO Chart component accessibility update  To improve our component accessibility and ensure sufficient contrast in data visualizations, we’ve introduced automatic mark borders on Studio charts. This change adds a darker border around light-colored marks to improve visibility and meet contrast ratio guidelines. The update helps all users—especially those with visual impairments— better interpret and gain insights from their data.This improvement is part of our ongoing commitment to inclusive design and accessibility best practices.To learn more about creating and configuring charts in your Studio Views, see: Charts.

This extractor allows you to extract usage data from your Celonis Platform team, including usage logs, login histories, and user information.If you previously configured this extractor using App Key authentication, we recommend transitioning to OAuth2.For more information, see: Celonis Platform Adoption extractor. DATA INTEGRATION NetSuite extractor now available  You can now connect your NetSuite instance to the Celonis Platform using our NetSuite extractor. This extractor supports a number of common database features, including (but not limited to) the following:Authentication types: Database credentials and OAuth. Connection settings: Pseudonmyzation algorithms, parallelization of table extractions, and timeout for database connection. Object types: Tables and views. Data processing and resolution: Duplicate removal, debugging, extraction previews.For a full overview of supported database features, see: Supported database connections.To learn how to connect to your NetSuite instance to the Celonis Platform, see: NetSuite PI GRAPH Custom categories for object and event tags  You can now create categories to group tags that you're using for object-centric process mining. You can still use the existing "Custom processes" category for custom process tags, or you can create new categories in the Filters panel on the Objects and Events pages of the user interface.To add a new category, click the plus sign at the top of the Filters panel to open Add category at the end of the panel. Type the name of your new category and click Save to add it to the Filters panel. The category name can be up to 41 characters long (including spaces), and it must be different to the existing category names. Your new category appears in the Filters panel in edit mode. To add each custom tag, click Add tag. Type the tag name, then select the checkmark icon to add it. Custom tags can be up to 41 characters long (including spaces), and they must be unique across all the categories. When you've added all the tags you want, click Done. To edit the category name or one of the tags you've added to it, open the context menu (the three vertical dots) for the category, and select Edit. While you're in edit mode, you can rename a tag or the category, add or delete tags, or delete the whole category. PI GRAPH Issues to fix displayed in Objects and Events dashboard  The Issues to fix list is now generally available in all Celonis teams. In the Objects and Events dashboard, the list displays any critical issues that you need to fix in order to make your object-centric data model work. It includes issues that stop you from saving or publishing your model, issues that stop a transformation script from running, and errors while the data model for a perspective is loading. You can expand any item to see what the problem is and use the link to view it. If there aren't any critical errors, we'll tell you that too, so you don't have to look through the individual item lists and logs for critical errors. PROCESS DESIGNER Applied filters added to search results  With this release, you can now see all filters that have been applied to a search within the Process Designer.For more information about Celonis Process Management or the Process Designer, see: Process Designer User Guide. PROCESS NAVIGATOR Navigation and process journey enhancements  With this latest Process Navigator release, we've made the following enhancements:The Process Journal has been updated to include a Process Journey view. This view is a less-technical version of the Process Model view, offering information about the sub-steps in a process to users who are unfamiliar with BPMN models.For more information, see Drilling down with Process Navigator. The Process Navigator homepage now includes side navigation. This navigation provides an overview of all your processes and content at a glance.For more information, see Getting started with Process Navigator. STUDIO Configure event count filters for Views  With this release, you will be able to apply event count filters to Views that have process filters enabled. Event count filters enable you to select objects where an event occurs less or more times than a defined start and end threshold e.g. only objects where "Invoice paid" happens more than once.In this example, the Sales Order Activity event log will be filtered to show only the Confirm order event. Using this filter, you can see the event count distribution where the selected event occurred zero, twelve, and twenty four times per object.For more information about configuring advanced filters, see: Advanced filters.And to learn more about process filters, see: Process filters. STUDIO Process Copilots are now in General Availability  Process Copilots are AI-enhanced Studio assets that allow you to interact conversationally with your Celonis data. Each Process Copilot is configured with one of your Knowledge Models to help you analyze your data using predefined prompts or asking your own questions to generate a response in a variety of formats.Each Process Copilot will only have access to the data you choose from the selected Knowledge Model. You can create multiple Process Copilots to work with different Knowledge Models or to focus on different use cases within your data.Once configured, Process Copilots can be utilized by any Apps user to answer questions regarding their data, build custom graphs and tables, or look for improvement opportunities within the data. These conversations are saved in the Celonis Platform and can be shared with other users with access to Studio.Users can interact with a Process Copilot through quickstart questions, template prompts, dropdown lists of suggested interactions or a free text field where they can ask their own questions. Admin users can also create their own KPIs or commonly asked questions that will be pinned to the start screen as a launching point for each new session.For more information, refer to Process Copilots. STUDIO Annotation Builders are now in General Availability  Studio’s new Annotation Builder is an AI-enhanced asset that enriches the data in your Process Intelligence Graph using Large Language Models to interpret your data.The Annotation Builder is a no-code environment that uses GenAI to structure your data and reason through it to generate decision and action recommendations. You will give Annotation Builder information and guidance in natural language describing how you want it to make decisions and it will use its ability to process natural language to determine which decision makes the most sense. Annotation Builder will produce AI annotations that enrich your data, making it more valuable for analysis and automation.For more information, see Annotation Builder. STUDIO New validation table for Annotation Builders  The Annotation Builder asset in Studio is introducing a new feature that generates a preconfigured "Validation Table" that allows analysts to evaluate the accuracy of the annotations being generated. This table includes the original data, the AI-generated annotations (e.g., predicted categories, reasoning, etc.), and columns where analysts can add their feedback directly into the table using free text fields and pre-populated dropdowns.Analysts can generate the validation table automatically by clicking the Use in a View button on the Annotation Builder screen. The validation tables can be added as a new View in Studio or embedded in an existing Studio View. The table is generated automatically based on the annotations generated with no additional set up or configuration required.In the validation table, analysts can review the individual annotations, add comments, and collect data to improve the prompts used by this Annotation Builder. If the analyst provides feedback in the validation table, the accuracy statistics for this Annotation Builder are updated automatically and displayed on the Annotation Builder overview screen. STUDIO Process Copilots for external systems  Process Copilots can now be created for use with external systems such as Microsoft Teams or Slack. These new Process Copilots serve as a conversational chat assistant that runs on the Celonis Platform while communicating with an external system via the Celonis Intelligence API. Users can post a message in Teams or Slack that is transmitted to a Process Copilot published on the Celonis Platform and the response from the Process Copilot is returned to the external system using the same API.These new Process Copilots are configured and published using the same steps as the current Process Copilots. Once the Process Copilot has been published, the Process Copilot API specification is customized to integrate with the external system. This API specification can be copied or downloaded to use when configuring the API connection in the external system.Note: When configuring the Process Copilot, note that tools containing View components cannot be used for this type of configuration.When the API is called from the external system, the integration is used to pass messages between the Celonis Platform and the external system. The connection to the Celonis Platform can be authenticated by using OAuth to provide user access or creating an application key to allow system access.For more information, see Create for external systems. STUDIO Plain text variable behavior updated When creating and using plain text variables (also known as runtime variables) in your Studio packages, the following behavior has been updated:The value of the plain text variable in Studio is now published to Apps, provided that this value remains unchanged in Apps (i.e. App user don’t update the variable in Apps, for example with an input). Previously, this value was published from Studio to Apps only the first time the variable was published.We've also added a column called Value in Apps, allowing you to efficiently view and reference the value of the variable within the existing app.For more information about Studio package variables, see: Variables STUDIO Component configuration UX updates  We've made a number of user experience enhancements to our Studio component configuration panels, including the following:Add data to component: You can now click 'Add data' within the component configuration, allowing you to select data via the PQL editor.

This feature allows users to create a new Process Copilot specifically for the data in the current Studio View without any additional configuration required. This new option will streamline the creation of a Process Copilot and give users a starting point to build upon. Users can still make additional changes to this Process Copilot by customizing the configuration settings. NoteAny components in the selected View that reference a PQL statement rather than a Knowledge Model item will not be included in the new Process Copilot.From any Studio View, users can select “Create Process Copilot” from the options menu and choose the type of Process Copilot to create. The Process Copilot is generated automatically and all the required configurations are completed based on the data in that Studio View.The new Process Copilot will have access to most of the data from the Knowledge Model for this Studio View. Any data in the Knowledge Model that is filtered out by an asset filter will not be available to the Process Copilot.Users can then start asking questions about their KPIs and attributes. For example, looking at the image above, users can ask questions such as “What’s my Net Order Value?” or “How are the Sales Orders broken down by Company Code?”. It is important to remember that this Process Copilot will only have access to the data from that Studio View and cannot answer questions about any of your data outside of that View.For more information, see Create a Process Copilot from a Studio View. STUDIO View preferences kept when re-entering View edit mode When previewing your Studio Views using the interactive mode, any View preferences you configure are now kept when you re-enter View edit mode. View preferences are unique to each user and created by their interactions with filters, user specific variables, and components.View preferences include, but aren't limited to, the following:Filters Variables Component states (such as column sizes and sorting in tables and selecting KPI list cards)When editing a Studio View, you can see when View preferences are applied by clicking the View preference icon:You can then click Restore default View to remove these preferences again.1:37For more information about creating and editing Studio Views, head to: Views.And to learn more about restoring to your default View, see: Restore default View. PI GRAPH Perspective logs shown with transformation logs  In the Data Jobs area of the data pool you're using with objects and events, you can now see the logs for the data model loads for all your perspectives, as well as the logs for your transformations. Previously you had to go to the Data Loads tab in the Data Models area of the data pool to view the logs for perspective loads, and select each individual perspective. The logs for the perspectives are still in that location as well if you want to view them there.You can see the logs for the perspectives together with the logs for the transformations in the object-centric process mining data jobs ocpm-data-job (for production) and test-ocpm-data-job (for development). The data model loads are also included in the execution time for the data job, which means the displayed execution time is likely to increase, but the total execution time across the data model loads and the transformations has not changed. This change lets us optimize performance for change-aware executions (see Executing data jobs). If you're using that limited availability feature, your total execution time across the data model loads and the transformations is likely to decrease. PI GRAPH Usability enhancements for modeling objects and events  We're making a range of improvements that you've requested, to enhance your experience of modeling and managing objects and events for object-centric process mining. Here are the latest changes: When you're importing object types from your source system data, we've added a search bar so you can search the available tables in the data source as an alternative to browsing them. We'll automatically check the transformations that we autogenerate for object types imported from a table, and enable any that are already valid. If you need to complete a transformation script manually, we'll leave it disabled. For the ID for an imported object type, you can now use a source data column with the data type FLOAT, as well as INT and STRING. We'll cast them all to the required data type STRING in the autogenerated transformation script. You can now use your data pool's global connection to deploy transformations for objects and events. From the Objects and Events dashboard, you now access the data pool in the same way, whether you're using one or multiple data pools for objects and events.  DATA INTEGRATION SAP ECC and S/4 HANA extractor version 3.9.6 ​​​​​​​The new version of SAP ECC and S/4 HANA extractor brings added protections against SQL injection vulnerabilities. These checks validate dynamic SQL statements, using the CL_ABAP_DYN_PRG class. For detailed information, see SAP Notes (SAP Service marketplace login required).This change impacts the minimal supported SAP versions in the following way: SAP_BASIS version Minimal support package 700 SP28 701 SP13 702 SP13 710 SP16 711 SP11 720 SP08 730 SP08 731 SP05 740+ any When upgrading the extractor, make sure to follow these requirements or implement the corrections outlined in the following SAP Notes: 1487337, 1601030, and 1743483 (SAP Service marketplace login required).Also see documentation for Continuous Extractor for SAP ECC and S/4 HANA. BUSINESS APPS Accounts Receivable Starter Kit upgrade For this release of the Accounts Receivable Starter Kit, we’ve added a Value Framing view to the app’s existing setup, validation, and process cockpit views. The Value Framing view picks out opportunities for improvement in your Accounts Receivable process, including labor productivity, working capital, and revenue. Each value opportunity has its own tab for you to explore detailed metrics and get deeper insights into its business impact. When you’ve validated the opportunity, you can input your own framed value assessment for the Identified Value overview. For the instructions to upgrade the Starter Kit, see Updating the object-centric Accounts Receivable Starter Kit. BUSINESS APPS Procurement Starter Kit upgrade​​​​​​​For the latest version of the object-centric Procurement Starter Kit, which is built on the new Studio experience, we've upgraded the process execution model in the Process Cockpit to give you deeper insights into your procurement operations. The new model includes:Expanded coverage of changes to purchase orders, order items, and requisition items. Tracking of canceled invoice items. Visibility for goods receipts and their reversals. A comprehensive description of the Purchase to Pay and Procurement processes.We've also added new views to monitor and analyze KPIs for on-time delivery and on-time in-full delivery, purchasing behaviors such as contract usage, and automation activities.To upgrade, download version 2.8.0 of the object-centric Procurement Starter Kit from the Celonis Marketplace. If you want to migrate your existing setup, you can copy the Knowledge Model and Process Explorer from your previous version into the new Studio package. BUSINESS APPS Planning Parameter Optimization app upgrade In this release of the Planning Parameter Optimization app for Inventory Management, we've added tasks to update purchase lead times and production lead times. You can download the new version from the Celonis marketplace. Updating the object-centric Inventory Management Planning Parameter Optimization app has the instructions to update the app. BUSINESS APPS Payment Terms Harmonizer app upgrade​​​​​​​In this upgrade for the Payment Terms Harmonizer app for the Procurement process, we've added the Vendor Invoice and Accounting Documents objects, and the Renegotiate Contracts, Solve Mismatch, and Update Vendor Master Data tasks. With these you can include invoice data in your comparisons for a more complete picture, and easily take actions. Updating the Payment Terms Harmonizer app has the instructions to update.

PI GRAPH: Import multiple object types and their relationships from a data source (2025-01-28)

You can now import multiple tables from your source system to create object types, and also use the metadata for the tables to identify and create object to object relationships between them. If your source system database already has an object-centric structure, it's a quick way to get started with custom modeling for your object-centric data model.When you create object types using the Import from table option, you can select more than one table from a connected data source to import at the same time. Each table becomes one object type, with columns from the table becoming attributes of the object type. You can edit the new object types and add attributes in their previews in the same way as you can when you import a single table. We’ve also added an option for you to pick a column to be used as the object type’s ID. You can only import tables from one connected data source at a time, and you can only create one object type from each table at a time. But you can go through the import flow as many times as you want, to import other data sources or create different object types.After setting up the object types, you can view the foreign keys that connect the source system tables to each other, and choose which ones to use as one to many (1:m) object to object relationships between your new object types. In this step, you can also add custom one to many relationships between tables you're importing. If you need any many to many (m:n) object to object relationships, you'll need to create these after the import.When you've finished, we'll show a summary for you to check the object types and object to object relationships you'll be creating, and go back and make any edits you need to. Then we'll create them all, along with the SQL transformation scripts to populate the attributes and relationship columns for the object types with the data from your source system tables. You'll need to check the scripts, ensure the object IDs are unique, and populate any extra attributes that use data from somewhere other than your original source system table. For the instructions to run the import, see Importing object types and relationships from source data.
