Key Features of "ZKTeco Integration | ZKTeco Biometric Attendance Integration"

• Log Status Identification Based on Device: This feature determines the status of each log entry whether it is a checkin or check out by analyzing the configuration of the device that recorded it. It supports both single purpose devices (designed for either checkin or checkout only) and combined devices that handle both checkin and checkout operations, ensuring accurate log categorization regardless of device type.
• Color-Coded Log Statuses: Attendance logs are visually distinguished using different colors according to their status (e.g., check-in, check-out, late, absent). This color-coding allows users to quickly and easily identify the type and state of each log at a glance, improving readability and efficiency in monitoring attendance.
• Flexible Device Connection Methods: The system supports multiple ways to connect attendance devices, either through ADMS (Automatic Device Management System) or via a direct IP connection. This flexibility ensures seamless integration with different device setups, making installation and management easier and more adaptable to various network environments.
• Attendance Calculation Based on Log Status and Sequence: The system calculates attendance accurately by considering both the status of each log (check-in or check-out) and the chronological order of logs. This ensures precise tracking of working hours, late arrivals, early departures, and overall attendance, even when multiple logs are recorded in a day.
• Timezone Correction Option:The system allows users to adjust log times when a timezone mismatch occurs. By selecting the appropriate user timezone, log entries are automatically corrected, ensuring accurate attendance records regardless of the device or server local time.
• Fetch Device Users: This feature allows users to fetch all registered users directly from biometric devices into Odoo. It streamlines user management by automatically syncing device data with the system, eliminating manual entry and ensuring accurate user records.
• Refresh Device Connection with a Single Click: This feature allows users to instantly refresh the connection between Odoo and the ZKTeco device without restarting the service or reconfiguring the device. It helps quickly recover from temporary network issues and ensures uninterrupted attendance synchronization.
• ZKTeco Devices Support ADMS over HTTP/HTTPS: The integration fully supports ZKTeco devices operating in ADMS mode using secure HTTP/HTTPS protocols. This enables reliable and real-time communication between devices and Odoo without complex network setups, ensuring secure data transmission.
• No Private IP Required :Unlike traditional biometric integrations, this solution does not require a private or static IP address. Devices can communicate directly with Odoo via ADMS, reducing infrastructure costs and simplifying deployment, especially for remote or distributed locations.
• Attendance Calculation Based on Status Codes: Attendance is calculated using device-generated status codes such as check-in, check-out, break, overtime, and more. This ensures accurate interpretation of employee activity and enables precise attendance, overtime, and shortfall calculations.
• Fetch Missing Punching Logs: The system can retrieve any punch logs that were missed or not previously recorded, ensuring that all attendance data is complete and up-to-date. This helps maintain accurate records even if device connectivity or errors caused gaps in logging.
• Fetch Biometric Data: The system allows users to fetch biometric data from devices, including cards, fingerprints, and facial recognition data. This ensures that all user identification information is synchronized and up-to-date within the system for accurate attendance tracking and user management.
• Device User Management from Odoo: The system enables users to create, update, or delete device users directly from Odoo, eliminating the need to manage users separately on each biometric device. This centralizes user management, saving time and ensuring consistency across all connected devices.
• Dynamic Overtime Rounding: The system provides a configurable option to dynamically round overtime hours. This ensures that overtime calculations are flexible, accurate, and aligned with organizational policies.
• Check-in Time Rounding and Multi-Shift Support: The system allows rounding of check-in times for accurate attendance calculation and provides support for multiple shifts at the device level. This ensures flexible handling of complex work schedules and consistent attendance tracking across different shifts.
• Download Reports: The system allows users to download daily and attendance reports in a convenient format. This provides easy access to attendance data for analysis, record-keeping, and decision-making.
• Automatic Device Connection Status Update: The system automatically updates the connection status of devices every 30 minutes, ensuring that users always have up-to-date information on whether devices are online or offline. This helps in proactive monitoring and maintenance of device connectivity.
• Export Employees from Device: The system allows users to export employee data directly from biometric devices, enabling easy backup, sharing, or migration of user information. This ensures that employee records are readily accessible outside the device for administrative purposes.
• Check-in and Check-out Time Period Configuration: The system provides a configurable time period for devices that handle both check-in and check-out. This ensures accurate identification of logs by defining the allowed time ranges for check-in and check-out, preventing overlap or misclassification of attendance records.
• Automatic Fetching of Missed Logs: The system automatically retrieves any missing logs every 15 minutes if they were not captured earlier due to device or technical issues. This ensures that attendance records remain complete and up-to-date without manual intervention.
• Working Schedule and Weekend Configuration:The system allows users to define working hours and configure weekends within the working schedule, even for schedules that span the entire week. This flexibility ensures accurate attendance tracking according to organizational policies and varying work patterns.
• Multiple Shift Check-In and Check-Out Calculation: The system supports organizations with multiple shifts by accurately calculating check-in and check-out times based on assigned shift schedules. It handles early, late, overnight, and overlapping shifts, ensuring precise attendance records for all employees.
• Attendance Report Highlighting: Attendance reports use highlighted backgrounds to clearly distinguish different types of entries, including:
  
• Absent days
• Present days
• Weekends
• Employees present on weekends
• This visual differentiation allows users to quickly interpret attendance patterns and exceptions without scanning each entry manually.




NEW FEATURES ADDED FOR PAYROLL COMPATIBLE


• Auto-sync for missed attendance logs (every 15 min). The system automatically scans for missed or unsynced attendance logs every 15 minutes, fetching and updating records directly from ZKTeco devices into Odoo. This guarantees that no punch—whether due to network issues, device downtime, or temporary disconnections—is ever lost.
• Payroll-compatible attendance creation. Processes raw device logs using log pairing algorithms, shift mapping, and rule-based validation to generate payroll-compatible work entries, ensuring consistency with Odoo Payroll structures.
• Updated reports to align with Time Off, including proper display of public holidays and employee leaves. Synchronizes attendance data with Time Off records and holiday calendars to generate context-aware reports, ensuring correct classification of leaves, holidays, and working days.
• Cross-Day Attendance Support. Synchronizes attendance data with Time Off records and holiday calendars to generate context-aware reports, ensuring correct classification of leaves, holidays, and working days.
• Option to sync bio-metric data from one device to another directly from Odoo.
  Enable seamless device-to-device biometric data transfer directly from Odoo, transforming it into a centralized biometric management hub.
