About This Automation

Time tracking reconciliation is the manual process of downloading timesheets, cross-checking entries against projects, identifying errors, and requesting corrections from developers. Manual reconciliation is slow, error-prone, and delays invoicing by days.

Automation validates time entries in real time, flags misallocations automatically, and prepares billable hours summaries ready for invoicing. The result is faster billing cycles and fewer developer follow-ups.

Key features
Validate time entries against project assignments and billable status automatically
Flag misallocated or missing hours for human review without manual spreadsheet work
Aggregate validated hours into billable summaries by developer and project
Prepare reconciled data in invoicing format for immediate use
Reduce developer correction requests and follow-up cycles

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Billing Cycle Triggeredtrigger

Automation runs on a weekly or monthly schedule, or when manually triggered by finance. It pulls the latest timesheet data.

2. Fetch Timesheets

Automation retrieves all time entries for the period API, including developer, project, hours, and date.

3. Validate Against Jira Projects

The automation cross-references each time entry against to confirm the project is billable and the developer is assigned. Flags mismatches for review.

4. Identify Gaps and Discrepancies

The automation analyzes logged hours against expected project assignments and flags missing entries, duplicates, or suspicious patterns. Creates a summary of issues.

5. Notify Developers of Corrections

Automation sends targeted messages to developers with specific discrepancies and a deadline to correct. Only developers with issues are contacted.

6. Compile Reconciled Hours

After corrections are logged, automation pulls updated data and compiles final billable hours by developer and project into a structured format.

7. Push

Automation creates or updates invoice line items with billable hours, linked to the correct customer and project.
