Time tracking export and professional services billable hours workbook — "Unbilled client hours slipping through the cracks on complex multi-consultant scopes"
Why the manual spreadsheet breaks financial controls and how a deterministic workflow replaces it.
Billable hours are matched to client projects by exporting time cards and looking up engagement codes in a professional-services workbook after the week closes.
Hours on multi-consultant scopes never reach an invoice, so unbilled time expires in the timesheet export.
Time-capture pipeline that associates each approved hour to a client project and billing rate and raises unbilled hours as invoice lines on the contract schedule.
Association assertion: an approved hour cannot close the week unless it maps to a client project and rate, or it is parked as non-billable with an owner.
Three-stage comparison between manual workbook reconciliation and automated rule-based execution.
Time-card exports looked up against engagement codes once the week has closed.
Unbilled client hours expire in the export instead of reaching an invoice.
Each approved hour maps to a client project and rate before the week can close.
An approved hour maps to a project and rate, or it is parked as owned non-billable.
