# Leave Balance & Leave Report

### Overview
Both Leave Balance and Leave Report are available only for Admins. These modules help admins track assigned leaves, consumed leaves, and overall leave movement for every user.

###### 1. Leave Balance

###### What is Leave Balance?
The **Leave Balance** section shows all leave types assigned to a user and how many leaves are currently available for each leave type.
It provides:
* Total leave types assigned to the user
* How many leaves were allotted for each type
This is a quick summary of **current available leaves**, without date-based calculations.

###### 2. Leave Report
 
###### What is Leave Report?
The **Leave Report** provides a detailed, date-based overview of leave activity for each user.
It shows **how a user’s leave balance changed over time**, based on a selected date range.
This module helps admins audit:
* How many leaves existed at the start (Opening)
* How many were allotted during the period
* Leaves consumed by the user
* Leaves carried forward, lapsed, or encashed
* Closing balance at the end of the selected period

###### How the Date Filter Works
You can select a custom date range (e.g., **01.01.2025 to 31.12.2025**).
 The report will calculate:
* Opening leaves at the start of the date range
* Leaves allotted inside the date range
* Leaves consumed inside the date range
* Final balance (Closing) at the end of the selected range

###### Leave Report – Column Explanation
** **
###### Opening
Leaves available at the **start** of the selected date range.** **

###### Allotted
Leaves assigned within the selected date range via:
* Policy allotment
* Manual grant

###### Carry Forward
Unused leaves from the previous year/cycle carried into the current period.** **

###### Consumed
Approved leaves taken by the user during the selected period.** **

###### Lapsed
Leaves that expired due to policy restrictions (e.g., expiry at year-end).** **

###### Encahsed
Leaves converted into payout (if the organization allows it).

###### Closing
Final balance at the **end** of the date range.

| Formula:
 Closing = Opening + Allotted + Carry Forward − Consumed − Lapsed − Encahsed

 **Summary: When to Use Each Module**
