Invoice Timesheet – Turn Logged Hours into Client Invoices in One Click

If your business bills clients for time, every unbilled hour is lost revenue. This module lets you create invoices directly from timesheet entries – pick the lines you want to bill, run a simple wizard, and generate a clean, detailed invoice for your client. It closes the gap between the work your team logs and the money you actually collect.


What is Timesheet Invoicing?

Timesheet invoicing is the process of converting the hours your team records against projects and tasks into invoices you send to clients. For any business that charges by the hour – consultancies, agencies, service firms, freelancers with teams – the timesheet is the raw material of the bill. This module makes that conversion direct and effortless: instead of exporting hours and rebuilding them by hand in an invoice, you select the relevant timesheet lines and generate a properly detailed invoice straight from them, right inside Odoo.

Why Do You Need This Module?

When billing depends on manually matching logged hours to invoices, hours get missed, mistakes creep in, and invoicing becomes a slow monthly chore that delays your cash flow. Team members log time diligently, but if that time isn’t translated into a bill quickly and accurately, the business quietly loses money. This module removes that friction by making the timesheet itself the source of the invoice. You choose exactly which lines to bill, a wizard handles the details, and the resulting invoice carries the proper information your client expects – so nothing billable slips through, invoicing takes minutes instead of hours, and you get paid faster for the work already done. It even supports invoicing based on the customer set on each task, so multi-client projects bill to the right party automatically.

When Should You Use This Module?

This module is for any team that bills clients for time tracked in Odoo. It fits consultancies and professional services firms billing by the hour; agencies invoicing clients for project work; IT, support, and implementation teams charging for logged effort; and any project-based business that needs to turn timesheets into revenue reliably. It is especially useful when you want control over which lines get billed, when different tasks belong to different customers, or when you simply want invoicing to keep pace with the work. Since it builds on Odoo Invoicing, Project, Timesheets, and Employees, it drops into a standard setup with no configuration required.

How This Module Works in Practice

Setup needs no technical knowledge and no configuration – just install and it is ready to use. A new menu and set of views for timesheet invoicing appear, where you can see your timesheet lines and mark which ones are invoiceable. From there, select the lines you want to bill and launch the invoicing wizard, which offers helpful options for how the invoice is built, then generates an invoice with all the proper details filled in. You can also raise an invoice straight from an individual timesheet activity’s form view when you just need to bill a single record. Project-level settings let you control how timesheet invoicing behaves per project, and because the module can invoice based on each task’s customer, the right client is billed even on mixed projects – giving you a fast, flexible, and accurate path from hours to paid invoice.
