Approved hours become easybill invoices

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

How it works

From your workday to easybill, without retyping.

You connect with an API key from easybill (Profil und Einstellungen › API-Schlüssel). Half5 then imports your customers and projects from easybill. Half5 checks easybill regularly for changes made there.

1
Connect easybill

Paste your API key and your customers and projects 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 easybill as a draft.

What moves across

What the easybill integration takes care of.

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 easybill.

Customers in sync
Customers sync both ways with easybill. A customer you add in Half5 appears there, and one from easybill can be booked on in Half5.
Projects
Projects sync both ways with easybill, so your team books hours on the same projects you use there.
Hours booked in easybill
Approved hours can also be booked in easybill itself. Only submitted and approved hours go there; nobody's timeline does.
VAT
Invoice lines carry a VAT rate that easybill accepts. Reverse-charge invoices are supported.
Sending
Send the invoice by email through easybill, or mark it as sent yourself.
Changes reach the draft
As long as the invoice is still a draft in easybill, changes you make in Half5 are passed on to it.
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.
