Pending Employee Accruals - Requested, Used and Pending amounts

Description of Issue

When in Pending Employee Accruals, what do the Requested, Used and Pending amounts mean?

Context
  • Enterprise ERP Payroll
  • Employee Accruals
  • Pending Employee Accruals
  • Employee Accrual Requests
  • ESS - Employee Self Service
Cause


Resolution

There are three scenarios that determine where the Pending Employee Accrual Record is currently sitting in Munis.

  1. Go to Pending Employee Accruals (Payroll>Accrual Processing>Employee Accruals. Click Pending in the toolbar.  This opens the Employee Accrual Requests screen,)
  2. Search for the employee. Click Accept. 
  • Records showing a Requested and Pending amount with no Used amount mean the hours have been Requested and Approved in ESS.
    • Requested = 1
    • Used = 0
    • Pending = 1
  • Records showing a Requested and Used amount with no Pending amount mean the hours have been pulled into Time Entry using the Find Pending option.
    • Requested = 1
    • Used = 1
    • Pending = 0
  • Records showing a Requested amount and no Used or Pending amount mean the hours were pulled into Time Entry and moved into Payroll and the Employee Update has been processed. 
    • Requested = 1
    • Used = 0
    • Pending = 0
Additional Information

If the hours are adjusted (updated or deleted) in the payroll, after being pulled in through Find Pending, then the Used amount will not clear from the pending record.  The pending record will then need to manually updated to deleted in the Employee Accrual Requests screen.
