Customize Employee Attendance Tool

does anyone know how could we customize Employee Attendance Tool to have more option like
Day Off, OT Entry, etc ?

Thank you.

Since this is a core document, you’ll need to create a custom app. In the custom app fixtures file, you’ll need to add the new status choices for Attendance.status. You’ll also need to understand where and how these statuses are used in other parts of the system, like payroll.
This is not a minor change and could break things.

BTW, in my mostly current vanilly ERPNext v15 (ERPNext: v15.27.1 (version-15),
Frappe Framework: v15.29.1 (version-15)) there is no employee attendance doctype any more.

This core doctype seems to have been put into the newer HRMS app.

What’s still there are the “Attendance Device ID (Biometric/RF tag ID)” and “Holiday List” fields of the Employee doctype, as they are directly linked to the person.

If you consider upgrading, you might first want to check how this works in v15 (or soon, in some months, even v16).
