AP-Insights-Process Discovery: "Invoices handled by task recipient" shows Other instead of Username


Overview:

Customers may notice that in the Process Discovery dashboard, the dimension “Invoices handled by task recipient” now shows “Other” instead of individual usernames in the following sections:

1. Receiving:

 

2. Matching:

 

At the same time, usernames are still visible in workflow section:

 

3. Workflow:

 

This behavior is expected and is the result of a logic update introduced in April’2026 to improve data accuracy.

 


Summary of Changes (Logic Update):

The Process Discovery dashboard now relies strictly on task‑level recipient data when displaying Invoices handled by task recipient.

Previously, some usernames could appear based on inferred actions, even when no task was formally assigned to a user. This could lead to misleading attribution.

Now what does it means:

In earlier versions, the system sometimes displayed usernames based on actions performed in the process, even if the task was not officially assigned to any user, which sometimes caused incorrect user attribution.

After the update:

Benefit of this change:


Phase‑specific behavior explained:

1. Receiving phase

This is expected behavior.


2. Matching phase

While manual matching actions exist, not all matching activities create a task with a recipient.

Common reasons:

Because the dashboard now shows only task recipients, invoices where matching tasks have no assigned recipient are displayed as “Other”.

This does not mean manual matching disappeared. The data is still included, but grouped correctly.


3. Workflow phase

Workflow tasks (e.g. review, approval):

This difference is by design.


Why were usernames visible earlier?

In earlier versions:

This was not intended behavior and could result in incorrect conclusions about who actually handled an invoice.

The April’2026 update corrected this.


What does “Other” mean?

Other indicates:

It does not mean:


Upcoming terminology improvement:

To improve clarity, “Other” will be renamed to “Unassigned” in a future update.

This is a label change only and does not affect logic or data content.
