DISPLAY_CORRESPONDING_BALANCE_DEDUCTIONS_ONLY

Description:

This parameter determines how balances are displayed for cascades and transfers.

When set to true, cascade and transfer transactions are only displayed in the Accrued, Future Approved, and Used columns for the balance that they are decremented from.

With this setting, this behavior is applied to displayed balances:

  • Cascade or transfer transaction types are not included in the Accrued column.
  • When a cascade or transfer transaction occurs, it is shown in the Used column for only the balance it was decremented from (Current).
  • When a cascade or transfer transaction occurs, it is shown in the Future Approved column for only the balance it will be decremented from.

For example, assume employees are required to use all of their vacation balance for the previous year before using their vacation balance for the current year. To implement this requirement, the vacation balance for the previous year (VAC-PREV_YEAR) is configured to cascade below zero to the vacation balance for the current year (VACATION). A single time code (VAC) is used to decrement from both balances.

In this example, assume an employee has these balances:

Type Accrued in 2021 Current Balance Future Approved in 2021 Used in 2020
VAC-PREV-YEAR 20 0 0 20
VACATION 180 160 0 20

When an employee takes 8 hours of VAC, the balances are updated as follows:

Type Accrued in 2021 Current Balance Future Approved in 2021 Used in 2020
VAC-PREV-YEAR 20 0 0 20
VACATION 180 152 0 28

When set to false, decrements that were added for system calculation purposes are reflected in the displayed balances. This is the default.

Using the preceding example, the 8 hours of VAC would be reflected in the vacation balance for the previous year (VAC-PREV-YEAR), even though the employee did not have vacation balance to use in that year.

Note: Enabling both the DISPLAY_CORRESPONDING_BALANCE_DEDUCTIONS_ONLY and SHOW_BAL_DEDUCTIONS_TIMEOFF_AND_OVERRIDE_ONLY registries is not recommended.
