SIMS Personnel Absence report - misbehaving?

[Heliosedu]

Hi,

Have noticed some unusual functionality with Personnel absences report, possibly since the last upgrade. Specifically Reports | Personnel | Absence Analysis.

 

A school was reporting unusually high numbers of working days lost on this report, last week. They were using the date range 01/09/2015 > 19/02/2016 and several members of staff came back with impossibly high working days lost (including one with an impressive 400 working days lost between september and february!).

 

The member of staff in question actually only had 5 working days lost - when running the individual absence analysis report for the same specified date range it shows the 5 working days lost correctly.

When reviewing the member of staff's absences within Personnel the start & end date and working days lost are entered correctly. However taking the working days out, saving, re-entering and saving again sometimes causes the report to work correctly.

 

We currently have 3 separate schools with this issue. Have any other colleagues noticed this report not working correctly?

Thanks

Think this may have been answered elsewhere? but if not check for the staff with high working days lost that they have an end date to each and every absence as well as the correctly filled working days lost. Run the Absence Analysis alongside the Individual absence report, see where they differ?
