Update Time Clock Entries


Time Sheets -> Time Clock Management -> Update Time Clock

Because this program can be used to add, review, delete, and modify Time Clock In/Out records, it is important to set role security in Menu Security and/or password security in Module Passwords.
Time Clock Processing must be activated in the Company Miscellaneous Parameters.

Time Clock records entered manually in Enter Time Clock can be accessed here, as well as the time records generated automatically when the employee signs in and out of the software. Automatic time record processing is activated by employee in Operators by the Time Clock Checking flag.

If a Time In record is created in error, change the corresponding Time Out record to the same date and time to close the time entry without logging any payable time, or delete the entire record.
If a record is deleted here using <F7> a deletion record is written to the Delete Log for function PRTC10, to track the operator code, date of the time record, and date of the deletion.

Time Clock records must be closed or completed before payroll can be generated for the period.
Once the Time Clock records are accepted by the manager in Time Clock Posting Report, they are automatically deleted and can no longer be accessed from UPDATE TIME CLOCK ENTRIES.

The prompts to access existing Time Clock entries for an employee are:

EMPLOYEE #
  • Employee level:
    The employee number and name of the Operator currently signed in are displayed and cannot be changed.
  • Manager level:
    Operators that require access to other employees' time records can be setup in Operators, to Allow Access to Employee #.
    Enter the desired employee #, or select an employee # from the window.


YEAR
Accept the current year or over-type the preferred year.

PERIOD
Accept the current pay period, or over-type the preferred pay period, or press <F4> to view the pay periods and their ending dates in the Select Pay Period Ending Dates window.
The pay period determines the starting date of the range of records displayed, according to the number of pays a year for the employee.

STORE
This window prompt only applies if the operator currently signed in, has Multi-Store Access set to 'Y' (YES) in Operators.
Enter the desired store number, or ALL to include the Time Clock entries at all stores, or press <F4> to select a store/division from the window.

If the operator does not have Multi-Store Access, only Time Clock entries from the employee's home store, as determined in Operator Time Charge, display.


TIME CLOCK ENTRIES
The Time Clock In and Out records display on the screen. Records can be modified in the window on the 'Y' column or press <F5> to add a new record.
If a time record is entered here, no WO labor record is generated.
The prompts are:
SEQ
The sequence number tracks the number of the Time Clock entry.
If sequence numbers appear to be missing, they could be allocated to Time Clock records from different stores.
