Why Odoo Timesheets?
Real results our clients achieve.
Time entry in seconds
Timer integrated into the task: start and pause with one click while working. Or log the time manually at the end of the day, simple enough for the whole team to use.
Manager approval of hours
Timesheet approval flow by the direct manager before the period closes. Approved hours are the base for billing and productivity analysis.
Automatic billing from approved hours
Approved hours automatically generate invoice lines in Odoo Invoicing for T&M contracts, with no intermediate spreadsheet or re-typing.
Productivity per employee and project
Hours logged, approved, and billed by employee, project, and customer in a single dashboard. Identify under or over-billed projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Odoo Timesheets integrate with billing automatically?
Yes. For T&M contracts, hours approved in Timesheets feed directly into the invoice lines in Odoo Invoicing, with no export or re-typing.
Is timesheet approval mandatory?
It is configurable. You can require manager approval before the timesheet is counted in billing and productivity analysis, or leave it without approval for speed.
Can the employee log hours from their phone?
Yes. The Odoo app for iOS and Android includes the Timesheets module, allowing hours to be logged in the field or at home office with automatic sync.
Does Timesheets calculate the real hourly cost of the project?
Yes. With the hourly cost registered per employee (based on salary plus payroll charges), Odoo calculates the personnel cost per project and compares it with the revenue billed.
