Inventory Management Control Center FAQ
Here are some most commonly asked questions regarding the Control Center App.
In case you have identified a bug (e.g. PQL incorrect, UI not working properly) or have a feature request (e.g. new KPI, additional component, new use case), please feel free to create a ticket at our customer support or contact us using the built-in feedback icon in the app.
How can I embed Scheduling Agreements from the P2P and O2C spaces?
Scheduling Agreements for O2C are currently filtered out by the transformations in the default Celonis Order to Cash connector.
In P2P, they require a distinct connector - the “Purchase Scheduling Agreements”-connector if a mapping between Goods Receipts and individual Delivery Schedule Lines is desired. For Inventory Projection, these can typically be ignored since e.g. a Scheduling Agreement planned for six months from now does not have a Goods Receipt for that shipment.
Due to this approach in the default connectors, neither type of Scheduling Agreement is considered by default in the Inventory Management data model and apps.
To consider quantities from O2C Scheduling Agreements:
Go to your O2C data pool, open data parameters and update the parameter "orderDocSalesOrders” to also reference order types “E” and “F”.
Depending on your SAP setup, further order types and/ or customizations might be necessary.
Re-run all transformations and re-load all data models involved. You should now have Scheduling Agreements from O2C in your Inventory Management data model.
To consider quantities from P2P Scheduling Agreements:
Go to your IM data pool and add tables EKEK and EKEH to your table extractions.
These tables can be processed in the Global Data Job “3.0 Create P2P Data Model Views (SAP ECC)” to contain only current Purchase Orders as well as only the latest release versions.
Since the UNION_ALL()-operator has a strict limit of eight tables, it is recommended to create a common table of EKEH and EKET which is joined to MARC using the primary key MANDT-MATNR-WERKS.
If you are interested in a template for these transformations please create a ticket through the Support portal.
Again, this will only add relevant quantities. To generally be able to compute lead times from Purchase Scheduling Agreements, leverage the “Purchase Scheduling Agreements”-connector.
