Reference: Time Accumulator Threshold Calculations

You can configure time accumulator threshold rules using different combinations of reference period and threshold calculations. The calculation options that you can select depend on the selection that you make for
Unit of Time
in the
Reference Period
on the
Create Time Accumulator Threshold Rules
task.

Description
Average Quantity per Week
Rolling Weeks
and
Static Weeks
The total quantity in the period to date based on added or deducted calculation tags, or both, divided by the number of weeks in the period.
For rolling periods, Workday calculates the denominator after first adjusting the period start and end dates. Example: During week 1 of a rolling period, the denominator is
1
. In week 2, the denominator is
2
, and so on, until the final week in the period. When new weeks occur in a rolling period, Workday drops the previous week and maintains the period length until the end date of the rule.
For static periods, Workday uses the period length of the threshold rule as the denominator.
Average Quantity per Worked Day
  • Rolling Days
    and
    Static Days
  • Rolling Months
    and
    Static Months
  • Rolling Weeks
    and
    Static Weeks
The total number of units in the period to date based on added or deducted calculation tags, or both, divided by the number of days in the period.
Average Quantity per Month
Rolling Months
and
Static Months
The total quantity in the period to date based on added or deducted calculation tags, or both, divided by the number of months in the period.
For rolling periods, Workday calculates the denominator after first adjusting the period start and end dates. Example: During month 1 of a rolling period, the denominator is 1. In month 2, the denominator is 2, and so on, until the final number of months in the period. When new months occur in a rolling period, Workday drops the previous month and maintains the period length until the end date of the rule.
For static periods, Workday uses the period length of the threshold rule as the denominator.
Total Accumulated Days
Indefinite
The total number of days worked to date based on added or deducted calculation tags, or both.
Total Accumulated Quantity
Indefinite
The total number of accumulated hours to date based on added or deducted calculation tags, or both.

Average Quantity per Standard Day
  • Rolling Days
    and
    Static Days
  • Rolling Months
    and
    Static Months
  • Rolling Weeks
    and
    Static Weeks
The total number of units in the period to date based on added or deducted calculation tags, or both, divided by the number of days in the period. Workday excludes any days or holidays that you select under
Standard Week Excludes
.
For rolling periods, Workday calculates the denominator after first adjusting the period start and end dates.
For static periods, Workday uses the period start and end dates to determine the denominator.
After determining the period start and end dates, Workday calculates the standard working days in the date range by excluding the days and holidays that you select on the threshold rule.
