When employees clock in and out, Microsoft Dynamics AX checks the registration table for the most recent clock-in or clock-out registration. If the most recent registration is a clock-out, the application will clock in the employee; if the most recent registration is a clock-in, the application will clock out the employee.

In the process of calculating registrations, a supervisor may mistakenly register a clock-in or a clock-out with a future timestamp using by the missing clock-out feature. For related information, see About missing clock-out.

Example

Suppose that on Tuesday, an employee's supervisor registers a clock-out time for Wednesday at 16:00 by using the missing clock-out feature. When that employee clocks in Wednesday morning at 08:00, the employee will get a clock-in message which is correct. But when the employee attempts to clock out at 16:05, Microsoft Dynamics AX will acknowledge the registration as a clock-in because the employee has a clock-out registration time of 16:00.

Note Note

The employee clicks the same button when clocking in or out. Microsoft Dynamics AX will check for the newest similar registration. For example, if the newest registration was a clock-in, the application will register the next registration as a clock-out.


To prevent problems caused by these types of registrations, you can remove registrations with timestamps set for the future from the registration table.
