This activity is used to accrue hours to a balance ID when employee clocks IN to work. That is, when an employee clocks IN to work before the scheduled IN time, the additional time worked can be accrued to a balance ID of type Other which is already connected to the employee.
When the IN clocking is created, the employee's identification can either be entered manually or by using a swipe card depending on the setup defined for the button.
Note: If the Time Clock is operating in Offline mode the clocking records you create using the Time Clock will not be transferred to IFS/Time and Attendance immediately. Instead the information you enter will be buffered and when the Time Clock reverts back online it transfers the information to the Time and Attendance module.
Depending on the Time Clock configuration,
some of the fields may be automatically filled with default data for your convenience
and thereby the fields may be disabled or unavailable for editing. When these
values are entered, you can click OK on the dialog box to create the
clocking.
If the relevant button is set to card driven in the
Time Clock configuration, you are only required
to click the button and swipe your card. Your employee ID and company ID will
immediately display in the text panel on the Time Clock.
Therefore, if the card driven setting applies to the button, you will not have
to use the dialog box for clocking IN.
Also note that if the employee
is connected to the Disallow Early Clocking parameter in the employee's
work hour rules, it may block the employee from clocking In attendance. This
parameter will determine how early (compared to the schedules start time) an
employee is allowed to clock In attendance.
If IFS/Manufacturing is installed
in the system;
When the resume option specified for employee in the
Manufacturing Labor Class page is set to Ask for Resume,
a warning message will be prompted when employee creates the IN clocking. This
will give employee the option of resuming the shop order operations or indirect
jobs which were auto stopped on the previous day.
However, if the employee's
last auto stop clocking was a team clocking, the Join Team dialog box
will open instead of the warning message enabling the employee to join a labor
team at the time of the IN clocking. The team from which the employee last clocked
out will be selected to the Team field by default. If required you can
change this value. Click OK to save the information.
