Q: I ran the L&I Paid and Unpaid Summary report to get totals for denied items by timekeeper. Why is there a discrepancy when comparing the results of the total denied items on the Gardiant report against the total of denied items on the RA from L&I?
A: The L&I RA and the Gardiant L&I Paid and Unpaid Summary report are counting the denied items differently.
The L&I RA is counting every billing code item; every professional hour, travel/wait, and mileage item is counted separately. You can look at the an entire RA and do a count by searching on “denied” and counting the lines to check with the total at the bottom.
The Gardiant Works report is counting the number of invoice line items (i.e., professional hours, travel/wait, mileage) that are not fully paid currently. That may include partially paid items as well as items that were denied and have not been paid yet or will never get paid. An item could also have been originally denied, but has now been fully paid - that item would not show up in the report.
