From your workday to Exact Online—no retyping.
You connect by signing in to Exact Online and choosing an administration. Half5 then imports your contacts and ledger accounts. No API key is shared across your team.
- 1
Sign in to Exact Online
Grant permission and select the administration Half5 should use.
- 2
Approve week
A manager approves or rejects each person's submitted hours. Managers only see registered hours, never anyone's timeline.
- 3
Draft in Exact Online
The draft invoice is in Exact Online. You finalize and send it there.
What the Exact Online integration handles.
Create draft invoices from an hours report: one per client, with only billable hours that haven’t been invoiced yet. If your organization uses approval, only approved hours count. Finalize and send the invoice in Exact Online.
- Log in, no shared keys
You give Half5 access through your Exact Online login and can revoke it there anytime.
- Draft invoices
Choose one line per time entry or a single combined line, and select which details—description, activity, project, employee—are shown.
- Contacts and ledger accounts
Your team logs hours on contacts from Exact Online, and invoice lines use its ledger accounts.
- Hours are never billed twice
Hours on an invoice are tied to it. If you delete a draft, you choose whether those hours become billable again.
