[Timekeeping](https://knowledge.corfix.com/articles/corfix-admins?hsLang=en#timekeeping) June 30, 2026 # How does the "Flag Potential Conflicts" timekeeping setting work? ## This article will summarize what the Flag Potential Conflicts setting does, the kinds of time entries it flags, and how to use it. Overview **Flag Potential Conflicts** is a Timekeeping setting that acts as an automated alert system for your timecards. When it's turned on, Corfix automatically highlights time entries that look inconsistent or out of the ordinary, so you can give them a second look before they affect payroll. A common example is a worker clocking in or out **far from the project site** they're assigned to. When the setting is off, time entries are recorded as usual and nothing is flagged automatically. What gets flagged With the setting turned on, Corfix watches for time entries that don't line up with what you'd expect and brings them to your attention — for example, a clock-in or clock-out recorded a long way from the designated project site. Flagged entries are surfaced so you can review and confirm them rather than having them slip through unnoticed. How to turn it on 1. Open your **Timekeeping** settings. 2. Find **Flag Potential Conflicts**. 3. Switch it **on** and save your changes. Use cases and benefits - **Catch issues early.** Spot questionable time entries before they're approved and flow into payroll. - **Confirm on-site work.** Quickly see when a punch was recorded away from the project site, so you can follow up if needed. - **Less manual review.** Instead of scanning every timecard, you can focus your attention on the entries Corfix flags. - [New in Corfix](https://knowledge.corfix.com/articles/new-in-corfix?hsLang=en) -
