MANAGE TIME SHEET TIME CODE EXCEPTIONS#
WMTTSE (Manage Time Exception) was developed to give managers the ability to manage their employees' time exceptions for a pay period. This functionality can only be used for employees whose time sheets are generated with shifts (start and end time sheets). As an exception is handled, it is removed from the exception list.
The screen will only display previous day(s) time exceptions. Clients have the ability to define the time frame for which they want the exceptions to display in the list. This may be done by modifying the where clause called ‘EX_TM_TYP_MGR’. By default the exception period is 7 days from yesterday. Although users have the ability to change the exception period, we do not recommend making the interval too long as it may result in performance issues.

Day Details#
This section displays the details for a specific transaction. It identifies whether or not there is a missing punch and allows for the creation of missing punches (if required). The ‘Expected Punch Prediction’, ‘In Punch’ and ‘Out Punch’ columns were added to allow managers to quickly identify whether the exception is the result of a missing punch.- Person

The ‘Create Missing Punch’ dialog will always be enabled, however once a time sheet has been submitted and if a punch is added to the time sheet it will not be processed in the system. The Maintain Clock Entry form (ITCE) will store the punch with a status of ‘Un-generated’. The Audit Info field will display a message indicating that the time sheet has been closed.

- The ‘Create Missing Punch’ dialog will always be enabled, however once a time sheet has been submitted and if a punch is added to the time sheet it will not be processed in the system. The Maintain Clock Entry form will store the punch with a status of ‘Un-generated’. The Audit Info field will display a message indicating that the time sheet has been closed.
Defining the Time Codes to Display in the Exceptions List#
Each client can identify which time codes they would like to display in the exceptions list by setting up the lexicon ‘X_TM_EXCEPTIONS’. Each time code must be setup in the lexicon ‘X_TM_EXCEPTIONS’ as follows:| Saved Value | Time Code (this must be identical to the time code definition) |
| Displayed Value | It is recommended that this value be identical to the saved value |
| Meaning | It is recommended that this value be identical to the saved value |
| Usage | User-Defined |
Defining the Time Frame for Displaying Exceptions#
Clients have the ability to define the time frame for which they want the exceptions to display in the list. A where clause called ‘EX_TM_TYP_MGR’ should be defined.WMTTSE.JPG
By default the exception period is seven days from yesterday. Although users have the ability to change the exception period, it is not recommended to make the interval too long as it may result in performance issues.
