We are looking to use the inbuilt time and attendance functionality with Epicor/MES to replace the outdated timesheets/clocking in machine hybrid currently in place. I can see how to clock in and out, and how to set up calendars and shifts, but what I can’t see is a simple clocking report we can run daily to check and edit accordingly before passing over to payroll at the end of the week.
Does such a thing exist? My client doesn’t have the payroll module, and the closest thing I can find to what we need is the Labour Edit Report, but that is aimed more at labour efficiency and job data. I’m after a simple in/out record for timings and absence reporting.
MES can be used as you describe, with all the required info in the LaborHed table.
Depending on the complexity of your solution, the info can be retrieved via a BAQ.
Clocking in and out can be improved by bar coding the empoyee id and then using a customised version of the MES screen to allow employees to scan in and out.
Absence management is a bit more tricky, but one option is to create a resource group for your payroll staff and then create each employee as a resource (same resourceid as employeenum). You can then create an updateable dashboard to enter holidays and absences into the ResourceCal table.
