To open the Employee Accumulator Balance Transactions page, select Maintenance from the Time & Attendance menu. Under the Employee heading on the Maintenance page, click the Employee Accumulators link, and then click a specific accumulator to open the Employee Accumulator Balance Detail page. From the detail page, click a balance amount to open the Employee Accumulator Balance Transactions Page.

The Employee Accumulator Balance Transaction page displays details about the individual transactions that contributed to an accumulator balance. The table below describes the information displayed on the Employee Accumulator Balance Transactions page.

Note: When your first open the Employee Accumulator Balance Transactions page, it is filtered to display data only for the specific balance you clicked to open the page. For example, if you click an amount in the All column of the Employee Accumulator Balance Detail page, all of the historical transactions for the selected transaction type are displayed. Clicking an amount in the Year to Date column in the Employee Accumulator Balance Detail page displays only the transactions of the selected type that occurred in the current year. Clicking the balance in the All column of the Total Hours Balance (or Total Monetary Balance) row displays all historical transactions, of all transaction types, for the accumulator you are viewing. You can use the Specify Type and Specify Date Range fields to view other transactions. For instructions, see Viewing Employee Accumulator Totals and Transactions.

The table below describes the information displayed on the Employee Accumulator Balance Transactions page.

Accumulator Definition field

Identifies the accumulator for which information is being viewed. Both the accumulator definition (ID) and description are displayed.

Type field

Identifies the accumulator type, which determines the unit of measure used for the accumulator balance. Each accumulator is defined as either an Hours type or a Days type.

Specify Type drop-down menu

Allows you to filter the transaction list to display only one type of transaction or to view all transaction types. For descriptions of the most common transaction types, see the description of the Transaction Type column below.

Specify Date Range fields

Allows you to filter the transaction list to display transactions for a specific date or range of dates. You can select a predefined time period, such as This Month, or you can enter a custom User-Defined date Range using the Calendar Lookup buttons. To view all historical transactions, select All.

Transaction Date column

Displays the date on which the event or circumstance that caused the transaction occurred. This is not necessarily the date that the accumulator balance transaction was created. For example, an accumulator that tracks each employee's regular hours might have an entry with a transaction date of June 5th and a creation date of June 8th. This could happen if an employee works on June 5th but does not record his time until June 8th.

Transaction Type column

Identifies the type of the accumulator transaction. The most common transaction types are:

  • Adjusted - An addition or reduction to the accumulator balance recorded manually by a practitioner.

  • Initialized - A system-generated transaction created when the accumulator is first implemented.

  • Purged - An automatic transaction that returns an accumulator balance to zero. Purges are usually scheduled to occur at the end of a calendar year or fiscal year. Accumulators can be configured to never be purged.

  • Transferred - An addition or reduction that reflects the transfer of an accumulator balance from one accumulator to another. An accumulator can be configured so that its entire balance is transferred to another accumulator. This provides a way to purge the first accumulator while still keeping a record of the accumulated balance.

  • Used - A reduction or addition to the balance caused by timecard records. Note that this category includes both reductions and additions. For example, if an accumulator is configured to track all employees' regular hours, which are reported on the timecard, those hours are included in the "Used" balance.

Amount column

Displays the amount of the transaction. The number in this column reflects either hours or days, depending on the accumulator type, which is displayed near the top of the page.

User ID column

Displays the User ID of the person who recorded the transaction. No user ID is listed for transactions (such as purges) that are automatically generated by the system or for transactions recorded on the employee's timecard (such as "Used" transactions).

Creation Date column

Displays the date on which the transaction was recorded in the Time & Attendance module. This may not be the same date on which the transaction occurred (see the description of the Transaction Date column, above).
