Evaluate Events Imported from Time Collection Devices

The WFM_TDR_VALIDATE_SUPPLIER_EVENT_AP formula, which uses array processing, is associated with the delivered Validate Time Event Template rule template.

The fast formula evaluates events imported from time collection devices to identify the specified events that the device automatically generated. If the event is one of up to three specified automatically generated events, a message appears. If no message is defined, the default message appears. The message severity is an output value associated with the displayed message.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
WORKED_TIME_CONDITION	Time category	Time category that identifies the time entries made of the events to compare with the specified automatically generated event.
SUPPLIER_EVENT_OUT_EXCEPTION_1	Fixed text	First automatically generated time event to identify.
SUPPLIER_EVENT_OUT_EXCEPTION_2	Fixed text	Optional second automatically generated time event to identify.
SUPPLIER_EVENT_OUT_EXCEPTION_3	Fixed text	Optional third automatically generated time event to identify.
OVERRIDE_MESSAGE_CODE	Message	Message that appears when the reported duration is shorter than the scheduled duration.

Function

This formula compares the SupplierEventOut attribute to the input parameters SUPPLIER_EVENT_OUT_EXCEPTION_1, SUPPLIER_EVENT_OUT_EXCEPTION_2, and SUPPLIER_EVENT_OUT_EXCEPTION_3. If the SupplierEventOut attribute matches any of the parameter values, it generates a message.

Example

Scenario: You create a rule with your template where SUPPLIER_EVENT_OUT_EXCEPTION_1 is AUTO_CHECK_OUT.

Day	Payroll Time Type	Reported Event Time	Output
Mon	Check In	8a	None
	AUTO_CHECK_OUT	5p	The rule message for the message severity appears.

Wed	Check In	10a	None
	Check Out	5p	None
