Paperless is the way to go but you may need to upgrade your MAPICS
software. I'm not sure you can use with the version you are on.   KABA
has some software called Autotime which is pretty good. Rel 6 not 5.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Real-time timekeeping hardware/software that
interfaceswith Mapics DB/Y2K

Environment: Mapics DB/Y2K, most modules

Hi group:

We're looking to change from a time card system to a real-time
timekeeping system (terminals throughout the factory that would be
accessed by employees as they start and change work assignments during
the day).

We saw one system that allowed an employee to sign in for a
Manufacturing Order and a specific Routing step, but it had no way for
the employee to report the Quantity of pieces he or she completed after
the task was done.

That is, after the employee logs on to the task, there is no way for the
employee to go back to that same record in the timekeeping machine,
after the task is over, and input the quantity of pieces completed
during the task.

Are you familiar with any timekeeping
hardware/software systems that would allow this capability and interface
with Mapics DB/Y2K?

I look forward to your comments on this matter.

Have a good weekend.  :-)
