DISPLAY_CORRESPONDING_BALANCE_DEDUCTIONS_ONLY

Location
system/WORKBRAIN_PARAMETERS/
Description
This parameter controls how balances from cascades and transfers are displayed in the additional balance information card in the Time Off Calendar.

When you hover over a balance in the Current Balances section to the right of the calendar, this additional information is displayed:

  • Accrued in current year
  • Used in current year
  • Current
  • Future approved in current year

When set to true, cascade and transfer transactions are only displayed in the Used and Future Approved amounts for the balance that they are decremented from. With this setting, this behavior is applied:

  • 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.
  • 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, suppose 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, suppose an employee has these balances:

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

This table shows how the balances are update when an employee takes 8 hours of VAC:

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

When DISPLAY_CORRESPONDING_BALANCE_DEDUCTIONS_ONLY is 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.
