  2. Select the accrual configuration that you want to evaluate, and a worker to evaluate against.
  3. Specify an

You can use the calculation results on the report to analyze the worker's accrual configuration and make changes if necessary.
The sidebar on the left in the lower pane displays the name of the calculation at each level. You can view the results of each calculation on the right. If the calculation contains embedded calculations, you can expand the folders in the sidebar to drill into each level and view any conditions and embedded calculation results. If there are multiple conditions, Workday displays the processing order and you can drill into view individual calculations, conditions, operators, and operands. Workday returns results in boolean format where 1 means true and 0 means false. See Reference: Boolean Calculations.
