What is Attendance Management?
Attendance Management tracks employee presence, absence, late arrivals, and early departures, integrating with payroll to calculate pay for worked days and deductions for absences.
Attendance Methods
Manual marking: HR marks attendance daily (feasible for <50 employees). Biometric: fingerprint/face/card reader logs automatically create attendance records. Mobile: GPS-based check-in for field staff. Web punch: employees log in via browser from office. Biometric integration reduces manual effort and eliminates buddy punching.
Attendance in ERPNext
ERPNext receives checkin data from biometrics via API (Employee Checkin API or direct device integration). The Process Auto Attendance job converts checkin/checkout pairs into daily Attendance records. Integrate via ERPNext's standard Employee Checkin endpoint or use a third-party connector (Infonoxe builds custom biometric integrations).
