Maintain Time Card Information for Individual Employee

Explanation

This activity is used to check, change, and complete clockings and results. For most of these tasks, you can use Time Card -Day in which you work with one day and one employee at a time. In the header of the Time Card Day window, you can see if the employee has been assigned to a new day type (Deviation Day), whether there are notes entered for the employee for the day and if the registered hours have been confirmed, authorized, or transferred. Furthermore, you are informed if there is any history for the hours.     

Time Card - Day contains three tabs displaying the information that has been registered for the day. The Results tab contains the results that has been registered manually or calculated. The Intervals tab displays the clocking intervals that are the basis of the calculated results. Both of these tabs allow users to modify existing or create new information, as a method of keeping the time card up to date. 

Time Card - Day contains a third tab, Clockings, that displays external clockings as they where when captured by or sent from an external application e.g. a clocking terminal or other system. The information in this tab can be changed in Time Card - Day; maintenance can also be performed in the Employee  Clockings window. This window allows you to view details about and, if necessary, create a new or modify a transaction registered from a data capture terminal, an external system etc. The information displayed in the Clockings tab and Employee Clockings is the original transaction information, which, through this function is translated, adjusted etc. before it is saved into the ordinary business flow and used by the application e.g. as the basis for a clocking interval. By modifying the external transaction in the Time Card Day/Clockings tab or Employee Clockings window you also change associated clocking intervals in Time Card - Day. However, clocking intervals may be modified without changing the mother-transaction. Caution is recommended in this case, because the original clocking transaction can in some cases be used to re-generate clocking intervals.
