MAINTAIN CLOCK ENTRIES#

When using an ‘external clock’, clock devices are polled one or more times during a day. Incoming data from the clock devices is loaded as clock entries using LMTD. Clock entries can be viewed and adjusted through the ITCE function.

When using the G1 or G2 clock interface, the clock times are processed directly through the interface.

When using the WPCIO, clock entries are created immediately when the employee uses the ‘Clock In’ or the ‘Clock Out’ icons.

The clock entries are processed when the employee submits the entry.

Features:

  • The source and type of the clock entry is recorded
  • Cost center and job information may be provided if smart clock(s) are being used
  • All changes to the original clock date and time are recorded as adjustments
  • Daily Pairing Information

Maintain Clock Entries definition data can be found on the P2K_TS_CLOCK_ENTRIES table.

Clock Entries#

Date
This field displays the date for the clock entry.
Original Time
This field displays the time of the clock entry.
Original_Clock_Time is a mandatory 5-character numeric field the user must fill manually.
Type
This field identifies the type of clock entry being made.
Clock_Entry is a mandatory field the user may fill with the fixed lexicon (X_CLOCK_ENTRY_TIME).
Adjusted Time
If the clock has a rounding rule associated with the entries, and the highlighted entry has the rounding rule applied to it, that adjusted time will be shown here.
For instance, if the rounding rule takes the clock in time to the next 5 minute mark, and they employee has punched in at 9:03, the time displayed as ‘adjusted time’ will be 9:05. Adjusted_Clock_Time is an optional field the user can fill in manually.
Status
This field displays the status of the card entry.
Status
Authorization
This is a future feature that will interface with time clocks.
This field will display the status of Authorization/Approval and may be used in conjunction with the WVDAPC.
Clock
This field indicates the clock card the employee is using for their clock entry.
Device
This is a future feature that will interface with time clocks.
This field displays the clock device the employee used to make their clock entry. Clock_Device from P2K_TS_CLOCK_CARDS_DETAILS is optional field the user may fill manually or from the LOV.
Reference Information
This is a future feature that will interface with time clocks.
This field will allow the user to include any additional information about the time entry. Reference_Info is an optional 2000-character alphanumeric field the user may manually fill in. This field may be used to indicate the clock device if the G1 or G2 interface is used. Each time clock would be given a Machine Name that corresponds to a clock device (ITCD) in ePersonality. This code would be stored in the reference information for each clock entry.
Audit Info
This is a future feature that will interface with time clocks.
Process Entry
This feature allows the user to ‘process’ an individual clock entry.
