Register Job Hours and Time Card Information
Explanation
This
activity is used to register the job hours an employee has worked. Job hours
include time spent on work orders in IFS/Maintenance, shop order operations and indirect
jobs in IFS/Manufacturing as well as projects in IFS/Project Reporting. You can
also enter separate notes related to attendance and project transactions.
You can register
time for each of these jobs using IFS/Time Management. When employee
reports job hours, whether or not attendance hours should also be
generated simultaneously depends on the time registration time base linked to the
employee;
If time
registration time base is Job Hour Controlled Wage Hours, the reported job hours will also generate attendance
hours. That is, the normal hours scheduled for the day based on the employee's
work schedule will be filled using the job
hours. If the time base is Automatic Insert of Normal Hours, the
scheduled normal hours will be generated for all passed dates in the same week.
In addition, you can manually report other types of attendance such as overtime
and extra time. If the time base is Clocking Controlled Wage Hours, attendance
cannot be reported using the Time Registration window.
Manage Shortcuts (Aurena Only): When you register time, you
have an option to create shortcuts and give a name for the shortcut according to
your preference.
