Approved hours are not invoice-ready
A timesheet approval still requires rate and billing context.
Invoice preparation
Invoice records prepared from approved staffing work
FitterFlow keeps billing preparation connected to the job, worker, signed timesheet and calculation context so invoices are not rebuilt from scratch.
Current workflow
Why invoicing becomes reconstruction
The invoice value depends on approved hours, but the supporting evidence sits in timesheets, messages, PDFs, spreadsheets and finance notes.
Invoice preparation issues
Evidence is attached later
Signed PDFs and client support documents are added after the invoice is drafted.
Finance handoff is manual
CSV and accounting data are prepared after operational reconciliation.
An invoice workflow connected to approved work
Invoice preparation starts earlier by keeping billing context attached to the underlying operational record.

Retain calculation context
Keep supported rates, extras and payable time with the record.
Generate invoice records
Prepare invoice records from approved work rather than a blank finance process.
Export supporting evidence
