Invoice + Payroll Integration: Sync Employee Hours directly from Invoice Line Items
I’d like to suggest a couple of updates that would save us significant administrative time and eliminate double-handling. Adding an employee column (allow us to name them separately from their legal name as to protect their privacy) to invoice line items so logged hours sync directly into payroll would be a game changer, allowing units to flow straight into pay runs with the correct pay items applied based on the specific day and time worked. On top of that, adding date and time columns to line items along with more flexible recurring invoice logic - such as having last fortnight’s dates automatically advance two weeks from the prior invoice - would solve major friction points in our fortnightly billing.
Thanks for sharing this. While you can currently sync project time to payroll timesheets, pulling hours directly from sales invoices into payroll isn't possible.
Although this isn't on our immediate roadmap, we'd love to hear how valuable this would be to the community. Please consider sharing this post with colleagues so they can add their vote!
