## Introduction

**Analysis - End to end process** is the main dashboard where you can analyze the complete Order-to-Cash process regarding sales order items.

## KPIs

The following table describes the **KPIs** that are displayed at the top of the **Analysis - End to end process** dashboard.

| KPI | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Automation rate | The percentage of automated events in the Order-to-Cash process from end-to-end. |
| Variants | The number of various process paths different sales order items have taken from end-to-end.  A variant is a specific path through the process, a set of activities that was taken in a specific order. Usually, several sales order items have followed the same variant. |
| Avg. throughput time end to end | The average throughput time for the end-to-end process, from creating a sales order to the actual payment for the related invoice. |
| Total item value | Total value of the sales order items. |
| Number of items | Total number of sales order items. |
| Sales orders | The total number of sales orders created. |

## End to end process

With the **End to end process** dashboard item, you can analyze the sales order items and throughput times in more detail. You can create various contexts by selecting different fields and metrics.

The following table describes the metrics.

     Avg. item value  
     The average value of sales orders created within the selected period.  
     Sales order items  
  
  
     Total item value  
     The total value of sales orders created within the selected period.  
     Sales order items  
  
  
     Avg. throughput time end-to-end  
     The average throughput time between the first and the last event for sales order items created within the selected period. Note: The throughput time is calculated only if both dates are available and occurred in the right order. 
     Sales order items  
  
  
     Avg. throughput time sales order item creation to create accounting document  
     The average throughput time from creating the sales order item to the actual creation of the accounting document for sales orders created within the selected period. Note: The throughput time is calculated only if both dates are available and occurred in the right order. 
     Sales order items  
  
  
     Avg. throughput time SO item creation to post goods issue  
     The average throughput time from creating the sales order item to the actual post of the goods for sales orders created within the selected period. Note: The throughput time is calculated only if both dates are available and occurred in the right order. 
     Sales order items  
  
  
     Avg. throughput time SO item creation to receive proof of delivery

:::note
Metrics in the **Order-to-Cash Discovery Accelerator** never take Sales order items with missing data into account when the metric is calculated. For example, if a Sales order item does not have a value for the selected category and the metric calculates the average over this category, the Sales order item is not taken into account.

### Trend

The graph on the **Trend** tab shows the metric values for the selected category over time. The following illustration shows an example trend line.

## Process graph

The process graph displays the end-to-end process based on the number of sales order items.

:::note
You can use the **Detail** slider to change the number of activities and/or edges shown. Check out [Working with process graphs](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/automation-suite/2023.10/user-guide/working-with-process-graphs#working-with-process-graphs).
