    External Hours
    Hours that are imported from another external system.
    ACA Hours
    Specify the total hours that are used for ACA purposes. If there are External hours then ACA hours = External hours + Leave hours. If there are no External hours, then ACA hours = Payroll hours + Leave hours.
    Initial Measurement Hours
    This field is displayed only if the hours from this record are used to calculate the average hours on a resource’s initial measurement period. When these hours are used to calculate the average hours on a resource’s initial measurement period, the ACA total at the time the calculation is performed and saved as the Initial Measurement Hours. When the initial measurement period is manually updated with a Total Hours that does not match the total provided by the applicable ACA Hours, then this field is not available.
    Standard Measurement Hours
    This field is displayed only if the hours from this record are used to calculate the average hours on a resource’s standard measurement period. When these hours are used to calculate the average hours on a resource’s standard measurement period, the ACA total at the time the calculation is performed are then saved as the Standard Measurement Hours. When the standard measurement period is manually updated with a Total Hours that does not match the total provided by the applicable ACA Hours, then this field is not available.
    Variance
    If either the Initial Measurement Hours or the Standard Measurement Hours are entered and are not equal to the ACA Hours, then there is a variance in what is used versus the hours that are displayed. This happens if an ACA Hours record was updated after it was used in the measurement process. A change to hours does not update the measurement process automatically.
    Reason 1
    Reason associated with the ACA hours.
