2Clock In / Out
What is Clock In/Out?
Clocking is a process that is done in order to ensure that the time stamps of every user entering and exiting the Warehouse/facility is captured in WFM. It also captures the user’s entry and exit into Work Areas, VAS activities, Manual activities, and Break.
WFM provides multiple options of clocking in and clocking out. If a 3rd party time management system is used by the warehouse, user’s exit into and out of the facility can also be interfaced from this system into WFM as the facility clock-in/clock out time.
UI Clock Screen
The user can select an option in the clicking mode to clock in/out, and once all parameters have been selected using the drop-downs, he can click clock in/out.
Clocking Process Flow
Users are required to follow a specific clock-in/clock out process. The following figure depicts a typical clock-in/out flow assuming that the user is performing activity in a single work area on this day.
Every user has to clock into (CI) the facility (FAC) when he/she enters the warehouse/building. As the next logical step, the user needs to clock into the Work Area (WA) where the user will start performing his warehouse activities (WAA – Work Area Activities). If the user needs to step out for lunch or tea breaks, he needs to clock in/out to indicate that to WFM. Finally he needs to clock (CO) of the Work Area and from the Facility.
