Understand progress and supervision

Recorded time and ledger credit

An entry preserves the date, activity, and minutes you recorded. Each active ledger applies its own dated rules: the same entry may count in different categories, be limited, or receive no credit. The recorded duration does not change when a ledger converts or limits credit. Separate ledger totals are separate comparisons; do not add them together.

Open the entry to see its classification by ledger, then open that ledger for its sources, rule version, credited categories, exclusions, gates, caps, and remaining targets. Common reasons an entry does not count include a date outside the ledger's window, a rule or credential not active on that date, a category mismatch, or a weekly, lookback, or category limit. Check the source and correct the entry only if its saved details are wrong.

Read supervision by week and site

A week with logged hours is not automatically a qualifying supervised week. Some ledgers require a minimum amount or number of supervision units for work at a particular site during that calendar week. Hours and supervision at different sites do not automatically combine to satisfy that site's check. The ledger's rule set determines which entries qualify and whether a separate supervised-week target applies.

Accrue derives supervision units from linked supervision entries and the rule being evaluated. Individual, triadic, and group time can be treated differently; some rules count group supervision only in whole units. There is no one conversion that applies to every path. Attach the supervision entry to the correct site and supervisor, and read the ledger's week-level result and cited source.

Home's week card is a way to review activity, not a board or program sign-off. Open the ledger's weekly summary for the selected week, site, and supervisor and review the rows and supervision gate before requesting a signature. An Accrue signature records the prepared summary; it does not establish that an outside authority accepts the work. See Reports, exports, and signatures.

Opening balances and earlier experience

An opening balance is a starting figure you carry forward for a ledger, with an “as of” date. It is not a list of underlying entries, and Accrue cannot verify it. Use records you can support and confirm the amount with the person or institution that reviews it. Do not enter the same earlier time as both dated entries and an opening balance.

A balance does not create entries, a site or supervisor assignment, a qualifying week, or a signature. Date-range reports evaluate the entries in the range rather than adding a balance to an arbitrary span. For import setup, see Get started and set up your record.

Read pace, dates, and standing

When a ledger has a remaining target, its pace estimate uses credited time from the current calendar week and the previous seven. Weeks without credited work count as zero; fewer than two active weeks is not enough to estimate a pace. The recent average is extended against the remaining headline target. Later entries, missing records, rule changes, exclusions, or interruptions can change the projection. Treat it as a planning estimate, not a fixed completion date.

A source may set a graduation date, counting window, or lookback limit. Keep your own dates and supervisor credentials current, and read the ledger's source and checked date. Labels such as “on track” or “complete” describe that ledger's current model and saved records. They do not mean a board or program has approved your work or application. Confirm requirements and deadlines with the authority named by the ledger.
