Top features
Project-coded time entries
Log time against project, task, or customer directly. Billable / non-billable / internal categorization. Time stays attached to the work record.
Multiple entry surfaces
Web app for desk work, mobile app for field, kiosk mode for hourly workforces. Each surface respects the same approval and validation rules.
Bulk weekly entry
Grid view for entering a full week against multiple projects in one screen. Auto-fill from last week, copy from project plan, recurring task templates.
Approval workflows
Manager approval on weekly timesheets before they roll to invoicing and payroll. Auto-approve below threshold; require manager sign-off on overtime.
Direct-to-invoicing pipeline
Billable time on a project flows into the invoicing schedule. Generate invoice for the period with line-item time detail. Customer portal shows the breakdown for transparency.
Direct-to-payroll
Hourly employee time feeds payroll automatically. Overtime rules (CA, NY, federal) applied. Approved timesheets lock to prevent retroactive edits.
Utilization dashboards
Billable utilization per person, per team, per week. Targets vs. actuals. Capacity bottlenecks visible before they cause project slips.
Mobile clock-in / clock-out
Hourly workforce clocks in on their phone with optional GPS stamp. Geofence validation for field locations. Break tracking respects state-by-state rules.

01Can Odoo Timesheets replace Harvest or Toggl?
For most billable and internal teams, yes. Odoo covers time entry across web/mobile/kiosk, approval workflows, and direct invoicing and payroll integration. Harvest wins for solo freelancers and very small teams that want zero-config tracking; Odoo wins when you also need project, billing, and payroll on the same stack.
02Does Odoo Timesheets work on mobile?
Yes. Native iOS and Android apps support task selection, timer mode, and bulk entry. Offline-capable; entries sync when connectivity returns.
03How does the timesheet-to-invoice pipeline work?
Time entries marked billable accumulate against the project's invoicing schedule. At invoice time, the system generates an invoice with line-item time detail (date, consultant, task, hours, rate). The customer portal shows the same breakdown for transparency.
04Can Odoo handle complex overtime rules?
Yes. Multi-state US overtime (CA daily OT, NY 40hr week OT) and Canadian provincial rules supported. Configurable thresholds per role or department. Approved timesheets lock to prevent retroactive edits.
