Setting up Soft Clock

The Soft Clock check box must be set to true so that the defined group of employees can access Soft Clock and use events and overrides that are entered on Clock Group.

Note: In order for the employees to use events and overrides, the appropriate setup is required on Pay Policy Event Type (PPET), Leave Policy Event Type (LPET), Accounting Override (AORD), or Labor Distribution Profile (LDPR).

For employees to access Soft Clock, the Clock User role must be assigned to them. This is defined by the Role Type Information field on Create Business Role (BUSROLE). There is no delivered business role for this. Sites will have to define the business role for a Clock User.

For certain fields to be editable by employees, managers, or both on the Soft Clock, View Past Punches quick link or Past Punches  within the Advantage HRM application, the following fields on the Timesheet Setup (TIMES) reference page needs to be set accordingly:

• Modify Event

• Modify Punches

• Modify Overrides

• Modify Location

The Clock Timesheet Creation batch job generates timesheets based on the Clock In and Clock Out  entries recorded in the PAST_PUNCHES table. These records are obtained from actions performed on Soft Clock or from the Past Punches (PPUN) page.
