Should we manually adjust an accrual balance?

Answer

Only after identifying the incorrect transaction or rule. A manual balance fix without root-cause correction can create another discrepancy at the next grant, reset, or request.

Start here

1. Capture the exact employee, date, timeframe, and page involved.
2. Compare expected behavior with one known-good user or transaction.
3. Check effective-dated assignments before changing configuration.
4. Review audit history where available.
5. Escalate with screenshots, test results, and business impact—not only the error message.

Practical rule

Fix the confirmed source of the issue. Avoid broad profile, rule, or organization changes to solve a single unverified case.
