Overview

The leave accrual process occurs at the Posting Stage of the Pay Run and runs as a scheduled process in NetSuite.  In rare instances there may be situations where this scheduled process can fail resulting in incorrect leave balances as the generation of leave history records did not occur. 

This article outlines the process to review and update the employees leave balances via automated leave history record creation.

This process should only be run when you know there has been a failure in the creation of the leave history record process.  You should not use this to review old pay runs as the results could be misleading if there have been changes in an employees pay settings e.g an employee was on 20hpw 6 months ago and is now on 40hpw you would see a variance on the old pay run which is actually correct and should not be adjusted.
