Scenario: Setting Up Continuous Monitoring

This walkthrough guides you through setting up continuous monitoring with KRIs, automated data feeds, and alert configuration.

Scenario

You want to monitor accounts payable for anomalies — specifically: duplicate payments, payments without PO, and late payments.

Step 1: Configure Data Source

1. Navigate to Integrations → Connectors → + New
2. Select connector: SAP S/4HANA (or your ERP)
3. Configure connection details (URL, credentials)
4. Test connection → ✅ Connected
5. Set refresh schedule: Daily at 6:00 AM

Step 2: Create KRIs Using AI Wizard

1. Navigate to Monitoring → + New KRI → AI Wizard
2. Type: "Monitor for duplicate payments in accounts payable"
3. AI generates:
   • KRI Name: AP Duplicate Payment Detection
   • Data Source: SAP AP transactions
   • Logic: Flag invoices with matching amount + vendor + date ± 3 days
   • Thresholds:
     • 🟢 Green: 0 duplicates
     • 🟡 Amber: 1-3 potential duplicates
     • 🔴 Red: 4+ potential duplicates
4. Review and click Activate

Repeat for:

• "Alert when payments are processed without a purchase order"
• "Flag invoices paid more than 30 days after receipt"

Step 3: Configure Alerts

1. Navigate to Monitoring → Alert Rules
2. For each KRI, set:
   • Red threshold: Email CAE + Manager immediately
   • Amber threshold: Email Manager daily digest
   • Green → Amber transition: Notify auditor assigned to AP

Step 4: Monitor Dashboard

1. Navigate to Monitoring dashboard
2. View real-time KRI status tiles
3. Click any KRI to drill into trend charts
4. Review the Alert History tab for recent triggers

Result

After 1 week of monitoring:

• 2 potential duplicate payments flagged (amber)
• 15 payments without PO identified (red) → escalated to engagement
• Payment timeliness KRI consistently green ✅
