Hi 

The duration calculation also depending on the Site Setting “Calendar Consideration”, if the entire time is to be considerd, the setting should be set to “All Time”

Calendar Consideration in the Site/Extended Site Info/Manufacturing will decide which time intervals between the start time and end time of the clocking should be considered for the calculation. Possible values are:

• Calendar Time Only: Only the calendar work hours between the start and stop time is considered. If the whole clocking is reported outside of calendar time no transactions will be created.
• Calendar Time and Non-Break Overtime: The entire time period between start and stop time is considered except the embedded calendar breaks. Calendar breaks will be excluded regardless of operation reports within breaks.
• Calendar Time and Overtime: The entire time period between start and stop time is considered except the embedded calendar breaks. However, if operations are reported within calendar breaks, reported time within the breaks will be considered as overtime.
• All Time: The entire time period between start and stop time is considered. Calendar is not considered.

Finally, the Calendar or the Work Schedule which should be used to extract time will be decided according to the following hierarchy:

If the person connected to the employee is not defined as a resource in a labor class:

1. Employee HR Schedule - Defined in Employee Schedule and Rules. Note that this option is only applicable if IFS Human Resources is used.
2. Labor Class Calendar - Defined in Manufacturing Labor Class, Header section, Calendar ID field, based on Primary Labor Class in Shop Floor Employee for employee and site.

If the person connected to the employee is defined as a resource in a labor class:

1. If Use HR Schedule is selected on the resource, Employee HR Schedule - Defined in Employee Schedule and Rules. Note that this option is only applicable if IFS Human Resources is used.
2. Resource Calendar - Defined in Manufacturing Labor Class/Person, Calendar ID field.
3. Labor Class Calendar - Defined in Manufacturing Labor Class, Header section, Calendar ID field.

To avoid hard stops for the operator when reporting, the calendar of the labor class will act as the last resort if Use HR Schedule is selected, but no valid schedule is found and no resource calendar is defined for the person either.

We have it set to All Time, but are getting zero duration.  If I read this right, with it set to All Time the section about what calendar to use is irrelevant, correct?  Is there anything else that would cause it to record no time when it is set to All Time?

It turns out this was caused by the check box “Base Labor Result on Attendance”.  We unchecked that and the problem went away.  One downside to this setting.  If the operator Clocked out of IFS without clocking out of the job, the labor automatically stopped, but the machine time did not.

@TosohLBlum You can control whether the machine clocking should also be stopped when the labor clocking us automatically stopped using this work center setting
