The Time Clock Navigator shows the relationships between Time Matrix by Business Computers Software, Inc., Sales Order Processing by Microsoft Great Plains, and Payroll by Microsoft Great Plains.  Red arrows show time transactions.  Green arrows show lookups.  Purple descriptions show data table names.  The Time Clock uses employees entered in Payroll for lookups and verification.  The Time Clock uses SOP Orders, Line #s, and Item #s entered in Sales Order Processing for lookups and verification.  The Time Clock looks at the actual SOP data tables.  Making a change in SOP is immediately reflected in the Time Clock.

Upon an employee changing a SOP Order or clocking out of the Touch Screen Time Clock, a time transaction is sent to the Logbook.  The Logbook stores all employee actual time transactions.  Logbook time transactions are posted to Payroll.  The Employee check processing is completed in Payroll.

The Time Clock Navigator can be used to access programs in Time Matrix, SOP, and Payroll.  Clicking on a button will bring up that form.  For example, clicking on the Maintenance button in Payroll will bring up the Employee Maintenance window.  This is the same result as Cards>>Payroll USA>>Employees.  Clicking on the Logbook Employee button will bring up the Employee Control Center.  The Time Clock Navigator makes it easy to start programs and to view their relationships.
