“Seq. Control?” option

The system performs the following:

Not required

• Allows clock-on of the task.

Required

The system ensures that the tasks are executed in the ascending order of their sequence number as follows:

• Allows clock-on if the current task has the least ‘Seq. #’.

• If the current task is not the least task, the system allows clock-on only if the immediate previous task in the current SWO # have been started. i.e. previous tasks must have timesheet records.

Within Phase

The system ensures that the tasks are executed in the ascending order of their sequence number within the boundary of their execution phase as follows:

• Allows clock-on of the current task, if the ‘Exec. Phase’ of the current task and the previous task are different.

• If the ‘Exec. Phase’ of the current task and previous task are same, the system allows clock-on of the current task, only if the immediate previous task of same ‘Execution Phase’ has been started by an employee. i.e. the previous task must have timesheet record.

Example:

Task #            Timesheet record available           Exec. Phase

T1                                   Yes                                       Phase 1

T2                                    No                                       Phase 1

T3                                    No                                       Phase 2

T4                                    No                                       Phase 2

T5                                    No                                       Phase 3

• If user starts clock for T2, system allows because T1 has timesheet record, though Exec. Phase is same for both tasks.

• If user starts clock for T3, system allows because Exec. Phase of T3 and T2 are different.

• If user starts clock for T4, system does not allow, because Exec. Phase of T3 and T4 are same and T3 does not have timesheet recorded.

Across Phases

The system ensures that the tasks are executed in the ascending order of their sequence number of their execution phase as follows:

Allows clock-on of the current task, if at least one task belonging to the ‘Exec. Phase’ group containing the task which is immediately before the current task, is started.

Example:

Task #            Timesheet record available           Exec. Phase

T1                                   Yes                                       Phase 1

T2                                    No                                       Phase 1

T3                                    No                                       Phase 2

T4                                    No                                       Phase 2

T5                                    No                                       Phase 1

T6                                    No                                       Phase 1

T7                                    No                                       Phase 3

T8                                    No                                       Phase 3

• If the user starts clock for T7 in Phase 3, the system allows because the Exec. Phase “Phase 1” of the immediate previous task ‘T6’ has task ‘T1’ for which timesheet record is available.
