Register Job Hours and Time Card Information
Explanation
This activity is used to register the job hours an employee has worked. Job hours include time spent on work
tasks in IFS/Maintenance, IFS/Service, shop order operations and indirect jobs in IFS/Manufacturing as well as
projects in IFS/Project Reporting. You can also enter separate notes related to attendance and project
transactions.
You can register time for each of these jobs using IFS/Time Management. When employee reports job
hours, whether or not attendance hours should also be generated simultaneously depends on the time
registration time base linked to the employee;
If time registration time base is Job Hour Controlled Wage Hours, the reported job hours will also
generate attendance hours. That is, the normal hours scheduled for the day based on the employee's work
schedule will be filled using the job hours. If the time base is Automatic Insert of Normal Hours, the
scheduled normal hours will be generated for all passed dates in the same week. In addition, you can manually
report other types of attendance such as overtime and extra time. If the time base is Clocking Controlled Wage
Hours, attendance cannot be reported using the Time Registration page.
