Preview the report to see the result. Note that these steps are just an example, it can be adjusted to suit customers desired output

Remark 1:  The result list will contain one line per absence as per stored within the time account object. If you prefer a more aggregated view you may define a pivot query on top of the list query.
Remark 2:  In TimeAccountDetail absences are stored with negative sign. If you prefer displaying the values with positive sign you may define a calculated column in which you multiply the “booking amount” by (-1).

Note: The TimeAccountDetail object pulls data from the Account Posting table in Time Accounts page.
If the Time Type has no Time Account Posting Rule set up in Manage Data, it will not be available in Account Postings table and the TimeAccountDetail will be blank in the report.
