We need to set up a new user in Concur with the necessary permissions to use data extractions to Celonis. The steps are mentioned below. But when I login to SAP Concur with my login I don’t see this option “Register Partner Application”. Can you please advise how to add/enable this option to my user.
When i Login into Concur with my user – Not able to find this option “Register Partner Application”
Your input is highly appreciated.
thanks
@rameshsathyamo did you try the Manage Application Connectors option?
The steps you have may have changed slightly.
Thank you,

I see Ramesh's post is very old, but I leave this in case it is useful for someone in the future.
Celonis standard Concur connection is either outdated and not working or very little user friendly. I have finally made it work using JWT authentication.
This document just describes how I made it work. It isn't a suggestion on how to do it nor represents the best way to do it.
before starting you need to have created a JWT as described here:
Guide to Web Services Authentication.pdf
you need to have already issued a refresh token (I use Postman) for the solution to work.
Once you have issued the refresh token, you will have everything necessary for a custom authentication on Celonis.
On Celonis select Data --> Data Integration.
At this stage I assume a concur pool has already been created (I'm no Celonis expert so I will not comment on that).
Once you select Concur Pool, click on "Add Data Connection" button --> Connect to Data Source --> Create Custom REST API extractor.
Give Name, Description and click on Create
this will open a set of 4 items which I will cover in order:
1. Variables
Define the following variables
Make sure Client ID, Client Secret and Refresh token are marked as confidential.
Save.
2. Custom authentication.
This will enable your data connection. It is not easy to know if it has been connected, but you can use the Data connection for it.
3. Data connection,
Select an existing endpoint for testing and click on "Test Connection" you will see a green check mark.
Hope this has helped.
