Configuring settings for the object-centric Unearned Cash Discount app
Use the Unearned Cash Discount app’s Settings view to configure the app’s runtime variables. The values that you set for the runtime variables are used for the Knowledge Model variables in the Unearned Cash Discount app’s Knowledge Model.
The runtime variables are:
Reporting currency - your preferred local currency.
Baseline date - the starting date for calculating value realization from the app. We recommend setting this date to the day you start actively using this app in your organization.
Tolerance days - the additional grace period after the initial discount period during which the customer can still make a payment and claim the cash discount, but it won't be counted as unearned. Our supplied default is six days.
Important
After you publish an app for the first time, changing runtime variable values in the Settings view in Studio doesn’t change their values in Apps. The Unearned Cash Discount app needs to be published right away to generate the records for augmented attributes. So you’ll need to work with the views in the Apps area in order for the values of the settings to be applied for end users. It’s best to keep the two sets of variable values in sync so that your results in Studio match those in Apps.
Here’s how to work with the Settings view in Apps:
In the Celonis navigation menu, select Apps.
Find the Unearned Cash Discount app in the left navigation.
Expand the app’s structure using the arrow, and select the Settings view.
Update the values of any variables that you need to. If you haven’t selected a value, the app is using the default value.
When you’ve finished configuring the settings, make the same changes to the settings in the Studio package for the app, to keep them in sync.
Tip
When you’ve finished setup and the app is in use by business users, to avoid accidental changes, consider limiting the availability of the Settings view. You could restrict these to a specific group of business users who are responsible for making adjustments to the variable values.
