Highlights of the new projectfacts version

The new projectfacts version offers you more automation and new possibilities for your time recording as well as for the accounting.

All other new features and improvements can be found in this changelog.

Our highlights

Set working hours, vacation and capacities to the minute

The system already offers a wide range of setting options in the context of contract and working time data. With the new extension, working time, vacation value and plannable capacity can be set to the minute per weekday and employee.

Advanced functions for attendance times

If an employee records times within a certain attendance category, the system automatically generates cost components (e.g. for bonuses or commissions) if desired. Set-up times, travel times and the like can be compensated for using flat-rate delta values. In addition, access can now be restricted to user groups.

Unbooked working days at a glance

Especially for the month-end closing, it is helpful if responsible persons can quickly and easily see on which days there are posting errors. For this purpose, the system now features the new menu tile “Unbooked workdays”. Employees can find an individual overview under “My unbooked workdays”.

Create and send invoices automatically

With projectfacts you can now create, validate and send invoices automatically.You can control the automatic invoice runs via the order as well as via multiple action in the order settlement.Instead of diligence, an occasional control glance is now sufficient, while your invoicing takes care of itself.
