Re: HR Attendance - Performance Issue in "Theoretical vs Attended Time Analysis"

Hi Pedro,

Got it, that makes sense. I’ll continue the technical discussion directly in the issue. However, I’m still interested in the fourth question from my message, as it’s not directly related—I'd like to explore if there are alternative ways to achieve the same functionality.

Thanks for the clarification!

Best,
Emanuel

  • HR Attendance - Performance Issue in "Theoretical vs Attended Time Analysis"
    Hello Contributors,

    We are using the module hr_attendance_report_theoretical_time for checking our employees working time balance (extra or minus hours), but are facing performance issues (on Odoo 14 at the moment).

    We’ve noticed that the report in the module can be slow, especially when handling a large number of attendances. In our setup, it computes all attendances since we started using the module, which significantly impacts performance.
    While we sometimes need to analyze attendance over a limited period (e.g., the current year or semester), most of the time we need to retrieve the complete balance of an employee since their start date to assess total (=current) extra or missing hours.

    Questions for the Community
    1. Have others experienced similar performance issues with this report?
    2. How do you optimize performance? Have you implemented any workarounds?
    3. Would there be interest in adding a mechanism to store computed balances at a pivot date to reduce the number of records processed?
    4. Do you use another method for computing the total extra hours of any employee? What is your approach?
    Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Emanuel
