This module close stale attendances automatically. Without this module, when an employee forgets to check out at the end on the day and the next day the employee does not realize of that, then the error is propagated and all the attendances are wrong. With this module only the attendance with the issue is wrong, and the manager knows the system closes the attendance, not the employee
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0Automatically closes attendance records that were left open too long, so forgotten check-outs no longer corrupt the following days' attendance data.
When an employee forgets to check out, their attendance stays open and the worked hours keep growing, which distorts later records. This module adds an automatic closing mechanism for those stale attendances.
- A scheduled job named "Check Attendance" runs every hour and looks for attendance lines with no check-out time. Any line whose open worked hours exceed the company's maximum is closed automatically, using the check-in time plus the maximum hours as the check-out time.
- The maximum is set per company (default 11 hours) in the Attendance settings, together with the reason that will be attached to automatically closed lines. A ready-made reason, "System automatic check out due to inactivity", is provided.
- On the employee form there is a "Don't Autoclose Attendances" option, so specific employees can be excluded from this automatic closing.
- The attendance form and list show an "open worked hours" value, which counts hours up to now while the line is still open; in the list the normal worked hours column is hidden.
- Because automatically closed lines carry the configured reason, the usual attendance validity check is skipped for them, avoiding errors caused by old open records.
It touches hr.attendance, hr.employee, res.company and the attendance settings screen.
