How managers review and approve time entries before invoicing.

Approve Timesheets for Billing

Before invoices are generated, managers must review and approve all time entries for their accounts.

Overview

Approval ensures that:

  • All time records are accurate.
  • Written-off or non-billable hours are excluded.
  • Accounts are ready for invoicing.

Steps

  1. Set the Time Tracking Cut-off
    • Prevents new entries while you review existing ones.
  2. Review time entries
    • Use Time Tracking → Accounts to open each account.
    • Adjust or write off any incorrect hours.
    • Add missing entries if needed.
  3. Mark as approved
    • Tick Approve next to each account.
    • You can approve individually or in bulk.
    • Approved accounts turn green or show an “Approved” status.
  4. Verify on the invoicing page
    • Go to Client Invoicing → Invoices for the same date range.
    • Confirm that each approved account now shows status = Approved.
  5. Apply Invoicing Cut-off
    • Once all approvals are done, set the invoicing cut-off date.
    • This fully locks the month for billing.

Notes

  • Only approved accounts can appear in invoice calculations.
  • You can undo an approval before the invoicing cut-off if further edits are required.
  • Approvals ensure all PDFs and time allocation reports match the final billing data.
