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

  1. Identifies incomplete records - Finds time attendance lines with missing from dates/times
  2. Retrieves work schedules - Gets employee work day patterns and shift times
  3. Matches shift patterns - Finds appropriate work time slots based on existing punch-out times
  4. Calculates distances - Compares shift end times with recorded punch-out times
  5. Sets start times - Assigns shift start times to missing from time fields
  6. Handles day wrapping - Adjusts dates for shifts that span multiple days
  7. 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
