Clock In and Out

Clocking is a process of capturing the time stamp of every user entering and exiting the facility. It also captures the user’s entry and exit into Work Areas, VAS activities, Manual activities and Break.

Before start of a workday, every user must clock into (CI) the facility (FAC) which represents user’s entry into the warehouse/building. As the next logical step, the user needs to clock into the respective Work Area (WA) before starting warehouse activities (WAA – Work Area Activities) associated with that work area. If the user needs to step out on a lunch or tea break, user needs to clock in/out to indicate that to WFM. Finally, the user needs to clock (CO) of the Work Area and from the Facility.

The time taken for VAS and manual activities (WAA) is indicated by clocking into the activity (WAA). However, for system (WMS) activities, it is not required to explicitly clock into the activity, Each RF screen in WMS is associated with a system activity (WAA) in WFM. When WMS activity data is interfaced from WMS to WFM, the start and end time in the data is used to determine the time taken for the activity.
