If Monitor ERP has been configured to calculate shorter working hours, this is automatically worked out by the system when the days recorded are authorized in the Authorize/Adjust recording procedure.

Correspondingly, shorter working hours are reduced if you uncheck the Authorized box for a day in Authorize/Adjust recording, then save.

The Log date is the date on which the change was made. The Actual date is the date to which the change refers.

For example, if on July 10 you adjust an item recorded on May 5 that affects a time bank balance, it will be registered in the time bank log. The log date is therefore July 10 – as this is when the adjustment was made. The actual date (May 5) remains unchanged.

In the Historical balance list type, under the Time bank Time banks are used in order to save recorded time outside scheduled working hours. Different time banks are for example used for comp time, makeup time, flex time (positive/negative), and shorter working hours. log procedure, you can then view the balance of the time bank by searching for either the log date or the actual date.

The difference between the two is that the log date shows the exact balance for the date of the time bank in question. Any adjustments made subsequently are therefore not included. Instead, Actual date includes adjustments made after the date you have searched – but which nevertheless affected the balance for that particular day.

If, for example, you want to check the exact comp balance for May 31 – that is, the same balance shown to employees in the Recording terminal when they clocked out on that day – you must select the Historical balance list type and the Log date option.

On June 5 I adjusted a day in May which negatively affected the balance by 2 hours. If I had checked the Actual date for May 31 instead, the balance would have been two hours lower than if I had checked the log date.

Accordingly, the log date does not include these 2 hours since the adjustment was made a few days later. The actual date includes all adjustments that may have been made later which affect the balance for the day I have chosen to view.

New time banks can be added under the Time banks tab in the Basic data With "basic data" we refer to the static records in a database, for example parts, customers, users, work centers, etc. – Attendance procedure. In order for the parameter group to be able to use the time bank, an absence code must be linked to the time bank in the Parameter groups procedure.
