Mandatory Clock In/Clock Out

For capturing user productivity in WFM, it is essential for a user to clock in and out of entities as described above. Since VAS and Manual activities are captured through clocking, WFM ensures that the users are clocked into each entity, FAC, WA and WAA in the right sequence. However, when users work on System activities using WMS RF Transactions, it’s possible that a user may forget to clock into facility and the respective work area before starting the activity. Although this would not impact warehouse operations, it would result in wrong productivity calculations for the user.

In order to ensure that users do not miss the clocking process when working on system activities, you can enable the facility parameter CICO_MANDATORY by setting it set to “Yes”. When this parameter is enabled, WFM does not allow user to log into RF, if the user has not clocked into the facility. If the user has clocked into the facility but has not clocked into the work area associated with the transaction selected on RF, WFM does not allow the user to proceed with the transaction.

Note that even if the facility parameter is enabled, it is only applicable to users with group permission Track Record/Require CICO Validations. Mandatory CICO check will not be performed for users that do not have this permission.
