BPM Question: Adjusting Time Automatically for "Ghosting" Based on Quantity Reported in MES End Activity

Good Morning,
This is just a feeler question, not sure if this is possible or what challenges I might face trying something like this.

Every night, we “Ghost” our machines to create a certain number or parts over a certain time period (ie. 50 parts in an hour) or we allow it to run unattended. When our 1st shift clocks in, they clock out Ghost and report quantity. However, that means that while there may have been a qty of 50 completed over an hour, we still have the issue of Ghost was clocked in for 4 hours. We do not want to see 50 pcs over 4 hours, but obviously 50 over an hour. We are currently taking the time to adjust according in T&E for “Ghost.”

Ultimately, when my 1st shift employee clocks ghost out based on qty reported, auto adjust the activity time to an hour if 50 were reported, 2 hours if 100 were reported, etc.

I would like to know if anyone is auto adjusting times based on qty report at MES End Activity? Are there too many working parts? Is this achievable?

I am by far not an expert in writing BPMs and appreciate any advice on how this could be achieved.

Thanks in advance,
Eric

That time clocked in is going to be on the LaborHed of the respective emp. There are several ways to approach it, most by BPM. This should be pretty straight forward assuming that there is a constant condition that ONLY applies to this case. For example, Emp = Ghost. If that doesnt exist, you may need to add a bool field to check to denote a ghost session, then you apply the logic to that.
