In this release of the Celonis catalog, we’ve made a number of updates to enhance performance, functionality, and usability across the Celonis Platform. Because it’s a major version change, some of the changes are not backwards compatible, and might require updates to your Marketplace applications and Studio assets.

If you’ve enabled automatic updating for the Celonis catalog, we’ll apply the changes automatically in your development environment. If you haven’t, you’ll see an update message on the Objects and Events dashboard next to the current catalog version, and an Update button on the Catalog page (select View catalog on the Objects and Events dashboard to get there). In either case, use the link on the Catalog page to view the release notes for the Celonis catalog. Read them to find out what’s changed, and what you’ll therefore need to validate after the update. Your production environment won’t change until you publish the changes from the update. For the instructions to update the Celonis catalog and validate your object-centric data model afterwards, see Updating Celonis object types and event types.

The update includes new object types, event types, attributes, and relationships, and a new perspective for advanced Accounts Payable use cases, and deletes two relationships, as well as including a number of behavior enhancements. Here are some significant changes in the update that you’ll notice when you’re validating the relevant processes:

• In the Procurement and Accounts Payable processes, two object to object relationships have been deleted (VendorAccountDebitItem to VendorAccountCreditItem, and CustomerAccountDebitItem to CustomerAccountCreditItem), so any overwrites that you created for those will also be deleted. It’s better value to use the relationship CustomerAccountClearingAssignment to VendorAccountClearingAssignment instead. However, if you want to keep using either of the deleted relationships, you can create an identical custom relationship manually, including any overwrites that you made to it. You can do this before you update the Celonis catalog, or copy it from your production environment before you publish the changes from the update.

• In the Accounts Payable process, the instance counts for VendorInvoice, VendorInvoiceItem, and VendorInvoiceCancellationItem objects will reduce due to the addition of the VendorCreditMemo and VendorCreditMemoItem objects. If you aren't using the new objects in your model, you can remove the new filters from the existing objects to return them to the same function.

• The perspective for the Inventory Management process has been updated. If you want to revert to the previous version, that version is still in the Celonis catalog, named perspective_celonis_InventoryManagementLegacy.
