Generate Time Cards from Time Collection Device Process

You can create time cards from time reported with Web Clock and time collection devices. You need to use the Generate Time Cards from Time Collection Device process.

Here's what the process does depending on the validation results:

  • Valid: The process creates incomplete time entries for In application events. It completes time entries after it gets the corresponding Out application event.
  • Invalid: The process creates time entry exceptions.

You also use this process to add time events and entries created with the Generate Time Events and Generate Time Entries processes to time cards.

By default, the process applies all the rules associated with the people whom the generated time cards are for. You can generate the time cards more quickly if you apply only the time device rules. Time entry and calculation rules always run whenever people submit time cards. Depending on processing configurations, these rules and time submission rules can also run when people save their time cards.

You schedule this process using the Scheduled Processes task in the Time Management work area. Use the Team Time Cards quick action or task to view the time cards that the process generated.
