From your workday to Exact Online, without retyping.

Draft in Exact Online
The draft invoice appears in Exact Online. You finalize and send it there.
What the Exact Online 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. You finalize and send the invoice in Exact Online.
- Sign in, no shared keys
You grant Half5 access through Exact Online's own sign-in and can revoke it there.
- Draft invoices
Choose one line per entry or one combined line, and whether description, activity, project and employee are shown.
- Contacts and ledger accounts
Your team books hours on the contacts from Exact Online, and invoice lines use its ledger accounts.
- 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.
