Posted on by 700

Hi all, 

I have a query regarding Absence by Causes report in business central. This report consists of a field called total absence. But when I counted the total no of days then it is different than the displayed days in the total absence field. Does anyone have any idea regarding working of this report. Please suggest how the days being calculated.

Thanks.

    To obtain meaningful statistics, you should always use the same unit of measure (hour or day) when registering employee absences.

    To view all employee absences by period

    The Empl. Absences by Cat. Matrix page opens showing all absences, broken down by causes of absence.
    1. In the top right corner, choose the Search for Page or Report icon, enter Absence Registration, and then choose the related link.
    2. On the Absence Registration page, choose the Overview by Categories action.
    3. On the Absence Overview by Categories page, set a filter in the Employee No. Filter field to view employee absences for individual or a defined group of employees.
    4. Choose the Show Matrix action.
    The Absence Overview by Categories Matrix page opens showing all employees’ absences broken down by the various causes of absence.
    1. In the top right corner, choose the Search for Page or Report icon, enter Absence Registration, and then choose the related link. On the Absence Registration page, choose the Overview by Periods action.
    2. On the Absence Overview by Periods page, set a filter in the Cause of Absence Filter field to view employee absences for specified causes of absence.
    3. Choose the Show Matrix action.
    The Abs. Overview by Periods Matrix page opens showing employee absences broken down by periods.
