Aggregate (sum) balance amounts by group in an RTF template (such as a Payslip)

edited Nov 13, 2024 11:05PM in Reporting and Analytics for HCM 1 comment

This means, on the report, each Balance Value appears on a different line — even when the Hourly Rate is the same — because each entry appears in a separate block in the extract XML.

Instead, we need to list each combination of Reporting Name and Hourly Rate once, with the total number of Hours and Payment amount.

The complexity of the report tends to make it easier to use XSL throughout. But

Howdy, Stranger!
