Do you want to update the time card period status?

You can set e-timecard to update the period status in the time card schedule to Closed during the interface. If you check the Close Time Card Period after Interface box, you prevent employees from creating time cards for the period after you’ve run the interface. You also prohibit employee access to time cards that exist but were not interfaced for the period. Generally you choose this option when you set the Interface Option field to All.

If you do not select this option, then you must close the schedule manually.
