General Tab

Default ABS Code
The default absence code for the employee. When you click Generate Absence on the Hours Summary form an absence data is generated matching for the specified code specified here. If this value is not specified, the absence data is generated without an absence code, with the status set to Exception.
Labor Posting to ERP
The time when the labor hours are posted to the ERP. Possible options:
  • Real Time: Posts labor when a job stops, when an hour's record is processed, or when you click Save.
  • After Processing: Posts hours only when an hour's record is processed.
  • Do Not Post: The recorded hours are not posted to the ERP.
Process to Payroll
If this check box is selected, the captured hours are processed to payroll. If this check box is selected, processing of hours on the Hours Summary and Hours Detail forms creates Payroll Detail records.
Remarks Mandatory
If this check box is selected, you must specify a comment (remark) before a modified record can be saved.
Use Absence Approval System
If this check box is selected, supervisor approval is required for absence requests.
Elapsed Time Data Capture
If this check box is selected, elapsed time hours are recorded.
Stop Only Transaction
This check box allows you to only require jobs to be stopped. When a job is stopped, a job start transaction is generated to occur immediately following the prior transaction.
Note: This parameter is displayed only if an employee is not configured for Elapsed Time Data Capture.
Combine Labor and Machine Time
If this check box is selected, machine time is reported automatically as a ratio of labor time.
Use Attendance Point System
If this check box is selected, the parameters for configuring the Attendance Point System are enabled. The Attendance Points System assigns point values to absence hours and work rule violations. Point value thresholds are defined and organized into Tracks. When an employee’s point values cross threshold the supervisor is prompted and notified of the corrective action that is to be performed. Multiple Tracks can be configured to monitor attendance issues with various levels of severity.
Allow Signature After Processing
If this check box is selected, the employee and supervisor can sign the hours before processing, after processing or after payroll processing. The parameter is applicable for Clocked and Elapsed time employee types. Signatures entered after processing do not update Submitted or Processed fields.
Prompt for Employee Signature Before Processing
If this check box is selected, the supervisor receives a prompt when processing hours without an employee's signature. Both the Approve and Process fields are defaulted with the processor's signature and the Employee signoff field remains blank.
Attendance Posting To ERP
If this check box is selected, attendance transactions (clock in, clock out, lunch/break in, lunch/break out) can be posted to ERP when the report date they occur on, is processed. If this check box is cleared, only the labor and the absence hours are posted to ERP.
