Time event C019 integration with results recording

Question

Hi ,
      Posted this in the QM forum and got no response so reposting it here.  I am asking for a discrete manufacturing scenario. Does any one know how to integrate CO19 time event confirmation with the results recording transaction. Usually on the mfg floor the mfg people will do in process inspection. They are used to more of a clock in clock out way of working. They clock into the operation, they do the manufacturing activities and then they do the inspection activities. Once both are done they clock out and the material moves to the next operation. I knoe we can tie in manufacturing confirmation (CO11N) transaction with the results recording for inspection points. But I am looking to tie in the CO19  time event transaction to do the clock in clock out and tie it with the inspection point results recording transaction. The operators on the floor do not want to go to mutliple transactions to record thier time on that operation. Do you know how that can be done and if its even possible ?
Also do we have to use inspection points or can we do it without inspection points ?.
Thanks

GS, Time events are always tied to a record group technically and this prohibits free/extended usage of the transaction compared to say CO11N.
    Explore further on the details provided in the sap help site which states,
'You can only confirm quantities when you confirm processing time events.
You can only confirm activities that cannot be assigned to a particular record type group (Set-up,processing, teardown) by using the time event ‘Variable activity’. The confirmed value is assigned to corresponding value in the standard value key parameters'..
