Purchase-to-Pay Due dates

Introduction

In UiPath Process Mining, a due date is defined as an activity that needs to occur before a specified date. Due dates are used to get information regarding cases meeting or not meeting deadlines and the related costs.

A due date checks the difference between the Actual date of an event and the Expected date of the event. By default, the actual date is defined as value of the event end attribute. To create a proper due date, you must define the Expected date for the due date. Optionally, you can define the Due date amount, which is often referring to a penalty or a discount, and a Time bin, which is a description of whether the due date was met on time or not. For example, 1 day late or 3 days late.
