Manage Time Events

A worker uses an external time collection device to record In and Out time transactions. The Oracle Fusion Time and Labor application imports these time events by performing a POST operation on the /timeEventRequests resource.

The following figure shows data transfers between Time and Labor and the time collection device. It also shows the validation and processing of the imported time events.

To process time collection device events, the Time and Labor administrator:

• Configures event mappings, export data, rules, device processing profiles, and worker groups.
• Exports data to the time collection device using SOAP based web services. The export data includes person information, payroll time types, and published worker schedules.
• Imports time event data using REST web service. The time collection device performs the time event transfers either in real time or in batch.

Time and Labor verifies the imported time events and uses one of the following methods depending on the verification results:

• Return inaccurately formed resources in error status.
• Save accurately formed resources to the time repository for further functional validations.
