Our company has a Biometric FingerPrint Machine and at the end of day, we have an excel sheet which contains all the attendance records of the Employees. We import this excel sheet into openERP.

But is there anyway that whenever a Employee uses their fingerprint-reader, then the record is added in openERP or database. Then we will not have to import excel sheets one by one daily.

If there is a way to send data from your fingerprint machine by XML-RPC for example I assume you could do this.. But I don't think this is provided?

This import of  Attendance Data_1.csv file details in hr_attendace sould be happen based on loation of that file(that means file is stored in particular location in server)

Yenthe Van Ginneken (Mainframe Monkey)

Hmm I'm pretty sure you could write a bash script for this or using an Odoo scheduler.. I'd suggest you to open a new question for this where you ask how to run a scheduler to import external files

Hi, CAMS offers biometric machines and odoo module, using which you can connect the CAMS biometric machines (http://camsunit.com/product/home.html) directly into your odoo application, without the help of any desktop software/computer. You can write to sales[at]camsunit.com for availing the services. Check their API documentation at http://camsunit.com/application/biometric-web-api.html to implement your own odoo module to integrate with biometric devices, Watch Biometric Attendance Integration with Odoo without Software/Plugin/ActiveX [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ6W3S3bV5o] for more details

The answer is yes however you may be required to do some programming depending on the version of Odoo you are using... 

I put together a comprehensive list of fingerprint solutions currently available for Odoo.

Exactly i don't need finger print machine access to openerp, The details of Attendance Data_1.csv file has to be import to openerp-7 and need to run scheduler for auto update of sheet.

For attendances in hr module(hr_attendance) the Attendance Data_1.csv file details should need to reflect and get auto update details.
