Convert Timesheets Into Invoices Without Retyping a Rate

Stop rebuilding invoices from timesheets: freeze the hours, get them signed off on paper, then turn the same document into the draft invoice.

Where the Month-End Hours Go Missing

01

Hours Move After the Client Agrees

A consultant edits an entry three weeks later and the invoice no longer matches the sheet the client signed.

02

Month End Costs You Days

Someone copies hours out of the tracker into a spreadsheet, then out of the spreadsheet into an invoice.

03

Timesheets Arrive Late or Not at All

You chase five consultants for last month's hours before you can send a single invoice.

04

Disputed Hours With No Record

The client questions a figure and you have no per-person, per-day breakdown to put in front of them.

From Tracked Hours to a Sent Invoice

One document carries the hours from the tracker to the client and on to the invoice.

  1. Pick Client, Period, People

    Choose the client, the date range and the contributors. Only completed billable hours that are not already on a timesheet for that client are pulled in.

  2. The Hours Freeze

    The moment the timesheet exists, those entries are locked. Nobody can edit them, and in the calendar each one shows a lock that links back to the timesheet it belongs to.

  3. Send a Branded PDF for Sign-Off

    The PDF carries your logo, both addresses, the period and the total. Per consultant it lists every day: project, description, hours to two decimals. CSV is one click away for anyone who wants the raw rows.

  4. Turn It Into a Draft Invoice

    One button on an approved timesheet builds the draft. Lines are grouped by rate, wording and purchase order, each carrying the hours, the agreed rate, the client's PO number and the right VAT treatment.

  5. Chase the Missing Ones Without Asking

    Set a reminder day: the last day of the tracked month, the 1st, the 15th, or any day you name. Consultants who still have unsubmitted billable hours get an email listing exactly which clients are open.

What Happens When Something Goes Wrong

Corrections are possible right up to the invoice, and impossible after it.

An Invoiced Timesheet Cannot Be Cancelled

Once a timesheet sits on an issued invoice, cancellation is refused and the document is marked locked. The billing record stays exactly as the client received it.

Cancelling Releases the Hours

Cancel a timesheet with a comment and its entries return to the pool for a corrected sheet, while the cancelled document keeps a copy of everything it contained.

No Hour Is Billed Twice

An entry already sitting on a timesheet for that client is never offered again, whoever builds the next one.

The Client Reads It in Their Language

Timesheet documents print in English, German or Polish depending on the language set on the client. Any other setting falls back to English.

The draft the timesheet produces becomes a structured e-invoice your client's system can read. EN 16931 E-Invoicing

Common Questions.

Who creates the timesheet, the consultant or the owner?

Either. A consultant submits one for their own hours, and owners are notified by email and in the app the moment they do; an owner can build one sheet across several contributors at once.

Can hours still be edited once they are on a timesheet?

No. Those entries are locked and are never re-priced or moved to another purchase order. To correct them, cancel the timesheet — which is only possible while it is not yet invoiced — and the hours become editable again.

Does the client approve the timesheet inside the tool?

No, there is no client login. You export the branded PDF, the client signs or confirms it, and you mark the timesheet accordingly before invoicing.

Where do the rates on the invoice come from?

From the purchase order that covers each entry: hours are grouped per rate and per PO, and the client's PO number stays on the line. VAT, including reverse charge, follows the seller and buyer country and VAT ID.

Can one invoice cover several timesheets?

Yes. On an open draft you can attach further unbilled timesheets for that client, filtered by period or by team member, and their hours flow into the line items.

Who receives the timesheet reminders?

Consultants only, never owners, and only those who had working capacity that month and are assigned to projects under an active purchase order. The mail names the clients whose billable hours are still unsubmitted.
