Attendance overview

You can use the Attendance Overview by Employee (bpxtm3600m000) session to view, modify, and generate the attendance data for an employee.

To generate the actual attendance data these are the three major components:

  • Time registrations
  • Actual attendance
  • Attendance periods

The attendance plan is the planned presence scheduled for an employee for a certain period. The attendance plan can be generated periodically.

Attendance is recorded using the Time Registrations (bpxtm2220m000) session. Time can also be registered using another device or application (outside punch), manually, or by Info LN. The data can also be adjusted. A line created for the registered time can be set to invalid using the Attendance Overview by Employee (bpxtm3600m000) session if there is a wrong entry in the time registration.
Note: When the time is registered using the Time Registrations (bpxtm2220m000) session, the Origin is automatically set to Punched on the Time Registrations tab in the Attendance Overview by Employee (bpxtm3600m000) session.

The actual attendance is generated based on the time registrations, data settings in the employee group, day types, and non-working days. Actual attendance data can be generated periodically as per the company’s requirements in case, there is a need for a correction or manipulation.

The attendance periods control the status of the actual attendance lines which is used for reporting. Actual attendance is posted to a payroll system based on the attendance period.

Attendance events are created or captured based on the discrepancies in the start and stop times punched during a day, which does not align with the normal on-site kind of time.

Attendance balance is a summary of the actual attendance registered. Attendance balances cannot be modified manually.

Remarks are created if there is a wrong entry, or an illegal overtime registered by the employee. Sometimes, a manager may need to communicate to the employee regarding the time registration or actual attendance can create a remark.
