Time & Billing Hub gives your organization a complete time tracking, approvals, and client billing workspace inside Microsoft 365. Capture weekly time, manage expenses and PTO, run approval workflows, and generate client invoices, with every record stored in your own SharePoint Online tenant.

Time & Billing Hub is a SharePoint Framework (SPFx) solution for SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams.

Deploy the solution once to your SharePoint Online tenant app catalog, add the web part to any modern SharePoint page or publish it as a full-page app, and use the built-in setup wizard to automatically provision the required SharePoint lists. Time & Billing Hub provides dashboards, weekly time entry, timesheet approvals, expense and PTO management, client billing, and reporting while keeping all data securely within your Microsoft 365 tenant.

Ideal for

Professional services firms, consultancies, agencies, IT services, legal and accounting practices, internal shared-services teams, and any organization that needs time tracking, project billing, and payroll-ready exports on Microsoft 365.

Key Features

Weekly time entry grid with project, task, and billable/non-billable tracking

Timesheet submission, approval queues, and status tracking by pay period

Expense requests with receipts and manager approval workflows

PTO requests, balances, and approval queues

Role-based dashboards with KPI cards and charts scoped to member, team lead, manager, or admin

Client invoicing from approved billable time with tax profiles, invoice templates, and PDF export

Reports for utilization, payroll, billing summary, expense detail, and PTO balance (CSV export)

Organization setup: clients, projects, tasks, teams, departments, rates, and invoice templates

Configurable roles, permissions, workflows, and appearance settings

Microsoft Teams Integration

After deployment, administrators can use Sync to Teams from the SharePoint App Catalog to make the solution available in Microsoft Teams as a personal app or channel tab. Users access the same time entry, approvals, billing, and reports directly within Teams, while SharePoint Online remains the system of record.

Email Notifications

Time & Billing Hub supports flexible workflow email delivery. Choose the option that best fits your environment in Settings → Email Integration:

Microsoft Graph (tenant-resident, default): Notifications are sent from the signed-in user's Exchange Online mailbox. A tenant administrator approves Microsoft Graph Mail.Send once in SharePoint Admin Center → API access. Mail never leaves your Microsoft 365 tenant.

Chronodat Mail API (optional): Chronodat's hosted mail service sends notifications with zero tenant configuration. Requires an active Chronodat subscription. When enabled, notification recipients, subject, and message body are transmitted to the Chronodat mail service.

Power Automate (advanced): Not shipped with the product. You build and configure your own flows. No Mail.Send approval is required in this mode.

The app installs and runs without configuring email; only workflow notifications require a delivery option.

Security & Data Residency

100% tenant-resident: All time, expense, PTO, and billing data is stored in standard SharePoint lists inside your Microsoft 365 tenant

No external data transfer by default: Default Microsoft Graph delivery keeps notification email inside your tenant

Microsoft 365 security inherited: Uses SharePoint permissions, Microsoft Entra ID authentication, conditional access, and DLP policies

Audit trail: Actions are captured through SharePoint version history and Microsoft 365 audit logs

You own the data: Uninstalling leaves your SharePoint lists and data intact
