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 Non-WMS and Ad hoc activities are captured through clocking, WFM ensures that the users are clocked into facility and activity in the right sequence. However, when users start their workday with WMS activities using WMS mobile transactions, it’s possible that a user may forget to clock into the facility before starting the activity. Although this would not impact warehouse operations, it would result in incorrect productivity calculations for the user.

In order to ensure that users do not miss the clocking process when starting the workday with WMS 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 mobile transactions, if the user has not clocked into the facility.

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. Also, unlike other permissions, this permission is not enabled for ADMINISTRATOR ROLE, by default.
