Overview
Automatically sets punch-in (from) times for time attendance records that have missing start times. Uses employee work schedules to determine appropriate default start times based on shift patterns and existing punch-out times.
When This Action Runs
Manual execution for fixing incomplete time attendance records, typically used during payroll processing or attendance data cleanup when employees have punch-out times but missing punch-in times.
How It Works
- Identifies incomplete records - Finds time attendance lines with missing from dates/times
- Retrieves work schedules - Gets employee work day patterns and shift times
- Matches shift patterns - Finds appropriate work time slots based on existing punch-out times
- Calculates distances - Compares shift end times with recorded punch-out times
- Sets start times - Assigns shift start times to missing from time fields
- Handles day wrapping - Adjusts dates for shifts that span multiple days
- Validates duration - Removes entries that exceed maximum continuous attendance limits
Parameters
Parameter 1: Criteria Code (For Employee) (Optional) - Employee selection criteria for filtering which employees to process
Parameter 2: Calc Only If Workday (Optional) - "true" to process only on scheduled work days, "false" to process all days
Parameter 3: Max Distance In Hours (Optional) - Maximum difference in hours between shift end time and actual punch-out time
Database Tables Affected
- TimeAttendanceLine - Updates from date and from time fields for incomplete records
- Employee Work Schedules - Reads work day patterns and shift definitions
- HR Configuration - References maximum continuous attendance settings
