Attendance Periods

Attendance periods are used to control processing actual attendance data to the payroll system or to an API. You can use the Attendance Periods (bpxtm0170m000) session to view, report, and generate actual attendance for an employee group, period, and year.

The periods are defined using the Period Tables (tcccp0160m000) session.

These are the status of the attendance period:

  • Open

    The actual attendance can be generated and the attendance period data can be modified

  • Locked

    The actual attendance data cannot be generated and the attendance period data cannot be modified. The status is set to locked only if the End Date is specified in the attendance period.

  • Approved

    The actual attendance cannot be generated and the attendance period data cannot be modified.

  • Closed

    The attendance period data is sent to a payroll system. The data cannot be modified.
