Auto recording of clock in/out time

Hi all,
my client has this requirement of recording time based on auto clock in and out. E.g. when employees start work for a specific order, they just need to "inform" the system that the work has started and ended, system will auto capture the system time and populate the number of hours spend on a specific order. Is this possible in CATS?  Pls enlightened me. Thanks.
Regards
Et.

Hi,
Since this is a Custom requirement and you want the user to manually enter it in system that they have started work you should get a customization done from ABAP and bring the same interface into the portal where the user as soon as he/she enters can punch into the system and out of the system manually.
You can ask ABAP to make a program for the same and i am sure this will help.
this functionality is not possible through CATS.
Thanks and Regards,
Jailakshmi

  • How SAP HR Handles dummy clock in/out time data?

    Dear all,
    I have a question whether SAP HR has the function to handle dummy clock in/out time data.
    The scenario is like this:
    For an employee, his
    daily work schedule: 8:00 to 17:30,
    break time for meal: 12:15 to 13:00.
    Employees always have dummy clock in/out time events. For example, when an employee arrives the company, he clocks at the first floor at 7:45, after he arrives fourth floor (his workplace), he forgets whether he has clocked in or not, then he will clock at the fourth floor at 7:50 again. Assume this employee is very muddle-headed and repeats this mistake many times a day, then his clock in/out event may become:
    7:45, 7:50, 12:15, 12:17, 12:50, 12:59, 17:35
    Assume all the time events are entered to SAP, then the time pairs will be formed like:
    In        out        work hours
    7:45  -  7:50        0
    12:15 - 12:17        0
    12:50 - 12:59        0
    17:35 - ???          No clock out
    Then this employee will be in trouble for that day.
    We can know that in the above clock events, 7:50, 12:17, 12:59 are dummy ones. If the SAP HR can compare with the daily work schedule and remove them before time evaluation, then there will not be problem.
    Could anybody advise on this issue? Thanks a lot.

    hi SH WU
    You need to create a rule in schema to handle only the first and last entries.
    IF they are supposed to be swipeed only twice then you can create constant in t511k and set the start time and end time and compare them and process.......

  • Employee clock-in/out

    Hello !
    We use clocking machine for recording employee clock-in/out . All the data is stored in a 'flat' file which is supposed to be
         uploaded into SAP. When tried to open and read the flat file using OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET commands,
         the Sy-subrc value returned is 8 and the error message 'the specified file not found' is displayed. We checked the path and
         the file is in the correct location. What is missing?

    Hi Kelly,
    Check the path once again. Check the upper and lower cases. Define you parameter file name like filename-fileextern.
        Depending on the place where the flat file resides, the procedure varies. OPEN DATASET is used for upload of file from
        the host system. If your flat (text) file is on the PC, you can use the function WS_UPLOAD which will upload your text file
        into an internal table. This internal table data can be loaded into SAP. The syntax is as follows:
        CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'
        EXPORTING
        FILENAME = pcfile
        IMPORTING
        FILELENGTH = fileleng
        TABLES
        DATA_TAB = internal table name
        Please note that you have to specify the pcfile of length 128.
    Try this it may help.
    Thanks

    I have moved to the country where my internet speed is slow.  I am running some auto updates that keep timing out half way through.  Can the time out be shut off to complete the update?

    I'm not sure about that. But what you could try is to set the Update Preference to "Manual" and try updating at a time when the Network may not be as busy, like late at night or early in the morning. 
    Just an idea.

  • Duplicity in clock-in/out corrections

    Hi experts,
    When i try to contabilizate new clock-in/out and the user is locked, i receive a message telling me that the data has been saved correctly, but that's not true, because if i go to the trx pa30, infotype 2001, i don`t have new clock-in/out corrections saved.
    Later i unlock the user and modifu the hour of the first clock-in/out correction (i.e. 8:00 to 8:02) and i pass to review an save the new data. When i turn back to the clock-in/oot corrections screen, i see a strange efect. The initial clock -in/out correction (8:02) appears four times and in R/3, i have the same clock-in/out correction four times repeated too.
    The SP in portal and R/3 is the last.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    Dear Victor,
    The Clock In/Out application, data is stored temporarily in a table before they are posted in the infotype. When you created the ClockIn four times, it was saved in the intermediate database. Thats when the application gave the information that 'Your data has been saved'. At a later point of time these data are considered for posting in the infotype when the report RPTCORPOST runs. If the pernr is locked, the postings will not happen and the records will be in the status 'ERROR'. On the next run of the RPTCORPOST will consider the 'error' records also for posting. If the pernr is unlocked this time, the data will be posted in the infotype.
    I hope this clarifies your doubt.

  • ESS: clock in/out approval WF

    For the clock in/out approval workflow, I have created the copy of the general workflow WS12300111 and in the customize task i am calling the report RPTCORAPP  for the workitem approval.
    My problem is everytime the user clocks in or out the new workitem is created, if for example there are 20 users under a manager and they daily clock in/out through ESS, imagine the quantity of workitem in his inbox.Also when I click on anyone of the workitem it shows the complete list of employee(clockin/out requests) under him, and all the workitem showing the same clock in/out data.
    My requirment is that there should be only single workitem in the manager inbox contianing all the employees instead of workitem for every clock in or out request.
    OR
    Atleast the workitem should be grouped employeewise.
    How can I achieve this
    thanks

    Basically the important thing that you have to make a note is that the workflow gets triggered each and every time whne employee swipes in and out.
    Now your issue is let us assume that a employee EMP1 has swiped in and out for 10 times and all the 10 different requests are shown under the Managers MGR1 Name to get approved and these 10 request you want to group into one...
    At the same time for different employees too..

  • Message in Clock-In/out Correction

    Hello everybody.
    Some times when a user make a time correction using the clock in/out iView he/she gets a message when he/she reviews the correction. The message is in Spanish:
    "Lista de mensajes no se puede actualizar de momento por motivos técnicos" it means something like:
    "The message list cannot be updated at this moment because technical reasons", but the data is updated in the calendar.
    It seems that the message list cannot be "build" at that moment.
    Anyone knows...
    what are these technical reasons?
    can this message be customized?
    Thank  you in advanced.

  • Auto Record in Software Simulation

    Hi, I am attempting to create a software simulation of CATIA
    V5.
    Only the first frame gets recorded. No mouse activity or
    selections frames are created after the initial frame. Then the
    only way to end/save the session is to activate Captivate in the
    task bar.
    I have tested the Software Simulation Auto mode with other
    softwares, Maya, Max, and Adobe products, and it seems to work ok.
    Problem is, CATIA V5 is my focus software.

    I get mouse clicks, and the associated sound, sporadically,
    about every fourth or fifth action.
    The only way to stop the Captivate 4 session is to first
    select the Captivate button on the task bar, then I can select the
    "End" button and the session ends.
    Full Motion Recording catches more of the action but still
    not all.
    For Example:
    I Select File, the action gets recorded
    I select New, the action NOT recorded
    This brings up a new project window, the window is recorded
    I select part out of the options list, action NOT recorded.
    This is a bit frustrating because C4 works with other apps
    but CATIA V5 is the ONE I need to record.

  • Custom POD and Clock-In/Out

    Dear Experts,
    did someone face the problem with Custom PODs (Custom POD Plugin, changing the "manufacturing" path of POD to custom one) and Clock-In/Out?
    When I turned the Auto Clock-In on on a custom POD, I can not reach the POD.
    Ist this a bug or do I have to change something in the settings?
    This occurs on SAP ME 6.1.4 Patch 38.
    The error message is, that the POD could not be found. Does this something have to do with auto clock in, the redirect and a custom pod?
    Regards,
    Andrej

    Hi Oksana,
    thank you for your reply.
    I simply have a custom POD plugin. Therefore, my POD does not use the standard "manufacturing" link, but a "custom_manufacturing".
    I have configured shifts and labor tracking. The option to automatically clock in at log-in is enabled.
    After I log in to ME, I recieve the notification of sucessfull clock in. But after I acess my custom POD with the "custom_manufacturing" link, I do get an "resource not found" error.
    After I disable Clock-In at Log-On, I do not get this error.
    If you need more detailed information, just point me to the direction you need, as of my view point the root cause is clear, as after disabling the option, everything works.
    I do not have tested this with 15.0, so I do not know if this is ME 6.1.4 issue only.
    Thnaks in advance.
    Regards,
    Andrej

  • Clock-in/out Correction Approvals

    Hi all,
    We implemented ESS 1.0 on Netweaver 2004s with backend ECC 6.0, now In ESS configuration guide document it says that Wofkflow for
    ESS and Clock-in/out corrections is General Workflow for Documents, however when i used the workflow for Time corrections the work item appearing in the inbox points to the leave approval application, which is a table with leave types and dates is opened, my question is 
    why is the workitem in UWL not displaying the changes in time corrections ?
    Did i miss something ?
    Regards,
    Ahmed Salah

    Ahmed,
    Did you figure out as to why the entry is not visible in the UWL. I am also facing the same problem. As a matter of fact this is not aviaialable in the backend as well.?

  • Clock in out correction error in ESS

    Dear Experts,
    We are getting very strange error in clock in out correction application in ess
    When we are trying to make new clock in/out entry within 2hours of system it gives us error " The date of the correction is outside the permitted processing period".
    Example: If system time is 14:30pm and if we are entering correction entry of 12:30pm system is not accepting it. But if we enter 11:30am on same date, it accept that entry without any error.
    We checked background config node related to define period for clock in out correction and retroactive processing permitted period.
    Its all fine, but we dont know from where we are getting above error.
    Please guide us.
    Plz help.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Clock in out Correction

    Hi Gurus,
       How to implement Portal Clock in/out correction for substitutions. For present normal clock in/out corrections is working properly but substitutions is not working. Can any one pleas explain how to implement for substitutions?
    Thanks,
    SC

    the approval for clock in done by Rptcorapp ie via backend
    usually, If the manager is absent for more than 14 days, the request is forwaded to the substitute this is in standard
    also you can enhance the badi if you like
    The determination of whether the approver is absent or not is done in
    the BADI implementation of
    PT_GEN_REQ->IF_EX_PT_GEN_REQ~CHECK_IF_ACTOR_ABSENT. You may have to
    enhance this method to take into consideration for employees who do not
    have IT0007 record.
      The place where the checking is done is in
    CL_DEF_IM_PT_GEN_REQ->IF_EX_PT_GEN_REQ~START_WF
    copy all the methods of standard badi into your implementation and then implement the BADI.

    How can I set screen saver clock which show time and date when all screen is black. Other phones have this option but I didn't find on iphone. Pl guide.

    HA!  I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars".  So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account.  Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone.  Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone.  Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE.  I made my own day!
    I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.
