An attendance-to-payroll-to-accounting interface usually breaks on correction, not first transfer: an employee missed a clock-out, a manager approved later, or a cost code changed.
An attendance-to-payroll-to-accounting interface usually breaks on correction, not first transfer: an employee missed a clock-out, a manager approved later, or a cost code changed. Without an identifiable correction, the receiving side gets either duplication or stale data.
Define a correction window. Data remains open to a set date; after that, every change is sent as a correction record with source ID, reason, and timestamp. Accounting can then decide whether the effect belongs in the current month or a period already closed.
Before transfer, check that the employee exists, cost code is permitted, hours are reasonable, manager approval exists, and the period is active. Before accounting export, reconcile total hours and cost to the payroll summary. A technically accepted file is not sufficient proof of business reconciliation.
