TL Rptd Time Audit Report – Punch Time Units

Overview

When an employee punches in and out, the reported time travels through a series of actions performed by the
timekeeper/approver and the M-Pathways system. The TL Rptd Time Audit Report provides line item details
of each action.

There are two common scenarios when the TL Rptd Time Audit Report is useful:

  1. If an employee's punch times are modified by the approver, the TL Rptd Time Audit Report provides the audit history of each change.
  2. If a Punch Time unit has more than one approver or timekeeper editing an employee's reported time, the TL Rptd Time Audit Report tracks every action performed by each user.

Report Parameters

The report requires the following:

  1. An EmplID or a Static Group
  2. A specific date or range of dates

The report will list only one EmplID and day per page. For the detailed steps to run reports, refer to:

The report is organized into two main sections (A and B):

  • The complete audit detail is in the top section (A). It lists each action on a different line.
  • The bottom section (B) identifies the specific change(s) that occurred with the line items in the top section.

The recommended approach to reviewing the report is to first review the top section for the chronological history of the actions that occurred to the reported time for the date. If the change that occurred is unclear, refer to the bottom section for the breakdown of the old and new values.

Letter Field/Button Description
C EmplID, Empl RCD#; EmplID is the employee's identification number, also called UMID. The Empl RCD# is the employment record number of the specific job appointment.
D Audit OprID When the reported time is from a time clock punch, it displays PSAPP1. When the reported time is from a timekeeper/approver action on the Timesheet, it displays that person's uniqname.
E Audit Stamp The time when the individual action was uploaded into the system. The system uploads information from time clocks every 15 minutes.
F Audit Action

Identifies whether a row of reported time was added or changed in M-Pathways.

  • The action is Add when an employee punches in, punches out, or when the timekeeper or approver adds a row of reported time on the Timesheet.
  • The action is Chg To (change to) when M-Pathways, a timekeeper, or an approver performs an action that changes a row of reported time. The change may be minor. For example, the status of the reported time is "Submitted" when the employee punches in, but M-Pathways quickly changes the status to "Needs Approval."
G DUR "Date Under Report" (DUR) – The date on which the employee reported time.
H Seq Nbr Displays a system-assigned sequence number that identifies a row of reported time. The sequence number is repeated each time an action is performed on it.
I Punch Type When an employee punches in, it displays In. When the employee punches out, it displays Out.
Note: When the employee punches out, the sum of the hours worked are added to the In row, which is sequenced before the Out row in the report.
J TRC If a timekeeper or approver enters a Time Reporting Code (TRC) on the Timesheet, it displays here.
K TL Quantity Displays the number of hours for the row of reported time, if any at the time of the action.
L Reprtd Status This value describes the status of the reported time: SB (submitted), NA (needs approval), or AP (approved).
M RT Source Reported Time (RT) Source – displays TCD (Time Collection Device) if the source of the reported time is a time clock.
