Approved hours become lexoffice invoices

Customers sync with lexoffice. Approved hours go there as a draft invoice per customer.

How it works

From your workday to lexoffice—no retyping.

You connect with an API key from lexoffice (Erweiterungen › Public API). Half5 then imports your customers from lexoffice. Half5 checks lexoffice regularly for changes made there.

1
Connect lexoffice

Paste your API key and your customers come across.
2
Approve the week

A manager approves or rejects each person's submitted hours. Managers see registered hours only, never anyone's timeline.
3
Invoice

You create the invoice from an hours report. It appears in lexoffice as a draft.

What carries over

What the lexoffice integration handles.

From an hours report you create draft invoices: one per customer, containing only billable hours that haven't been invoiced yet. If your organisation uses approval, only approved hours qualify. The draft appears in lexoffice.

Customers in sync
Customers sync both ways with lexoffice. A customer you add in Half5 appears there, and one from lexoffice can be booked on in Half5.
VAT
Invoice lines carry a VAT rate that lexoffice accepts. Reverse-charge invoices are supported.
Sending
Mark the invoice as sent yourself; lexoffice keeps it with your bookkeeping.
Hours are never billed twice
Hours on an invoice are locked to it. Delete a draft and you choose whether its hours become billable again.
