Time Clock for Wenn/Soft

          The Touch Screen Monitor Time Clock (TC) for WENN/SOFT Job Cost is part of the Time Matrix series by Business Computers Software, Inc.  The TC replaces a conventional electronic/mechanical time clock.  It is used to allow employees to Clock In at the beginning of their shift and record the WENN/SOFT Job they are working on.  During the day they can change the WENN/SOFT Job they are working on.  At the end of their shift they Clock Out.  The TC has a keyboard with letters and numbers on the monitor.  It uses large buttons to make it easy to see and touch with a finger.  Similar to an ATM machine, the TC is easily used by “computer-challenged” employees.   The TC software runs on a personal computer with Windows 95/98, or NT.  Employee Time can be viewed from a Logbook and a Calendar. Changing WENN/SOFT Jobs or Clocking Out creates a time transaction in the logbook.  Logbook transactions can be posted to WENN/SOFT Time Tracking, which then updates Payroll for preparation of payroll checks. Therefore, the TC eliminates the need to manually type in hourly payroll transactions.  A time transaction Logbook records regular time, overtime and breaks.  The TC is programmed in Dexterity, the same programming language used by Dynamics/eEnterprise Payroll, Human Resources and Project Accounting.  Any workstation on the network, that has Dynamics or eEnterprise loaded, can run the TC.  A workstation does not have to have a touch screen monitor to use the TC. The TC can also be used with a mouse, standard keyboard, a magnetic card reader or a bar code scanner.  The TC can be run in two modes.  The first mode is run under Dynamics or eEnterprise, which requires a Dynamics or eEnterprise user license.  This is the mode that is used for setup, printing reports and posting to Payroll and Job Cost.  The second mode is a stand-alone Time Clock that does not require Dynamics or eEnterprise to be running, thus it does not require a Dynamics or eEnterprise user license (refer to the Time Logger for Time Matrix manual).  This is the mode that is used to run only the Time Clock for clocking in and out.  The TC can be placed at central locations for use by employees who do not have their own computer.  It can also be placed on employees’ desktop computers.
