# Submit clock-in/out records

> Registers up to 500 clock-in/out records. Idempotent: an existing record for the employee on that date is updated. Accepts check_in/check_out (HH:MM), check_in_at/check_out_at (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM, allowing check-out on the next day), or punches. Each record is processed separately; if all fail, the response is 422.

  title: FileXpress External API

  description: >-
    API for integrating third-party systems with FileXpress: billing, HR,
    accounting, inventory, projects, accounts receivable and payable, treasury,
    pricing and promotions, and cash. Current base URL: /api/external/v1. The
    legacy unversioned path (/api/external) will be removed on January 1, 2027;
    migrate to /api/external/v1 (same endpoints, only the base URL changes). The
    v2 API (/api/external/v2) exposes currencies and exchange rates, sales and
    purchases in foreign currency, taxes by id, payrolls with branch, and errors
    with a stable `code`; its operations carry the /v2 prefix in the path. We
    suggest migrating to the available v2 routes before March 30, 2027.
