It is possible to get the real-time biometric punch logs to the server through web api supported biometric machines through SAP's API https://api.sap.com/api/ClockInClockOut/overview. Unfortunately, StarLink biometric devices do not support we api. Web api is available in brands such as Cams Biometrics, ZkTeco, eSSL, Identix, Suprema, and more. Some of them come with inbuilt web api support. Some of them can be upgraded with protocol-update to enable the web api. You can check with your biometric vendor or google it to get more information.

Hi Prashant,

Time Sheet integration with biometric with clock in and clock out is still in SAP's roadmap.However you can do the same if client ready for duration in this case you will only get to see the number of hours an employee has worked but no Punch in or Punch Out.

Another way is to get the First Punch and Last Punch out from third party via SFTP and Import it in the SF,but there are many challanges in that too suppose if an employee has missed the punch out then system will throw an error because the import file will only respect punch in and punch out in pairs if any one of the column in blank an error will appear
