# Hours reports straight out of bexio ## The time your team records in bexio becomes consistent PDF hours reports for projects, employees and the whole company – simple, fast and clear. {#aus-deinen-in-bexio-erfassten-zeiten-werden-automatisch-einheitliche-pdf-stundenrapporte-fur-projekte-mitarbeitende-und-die-ganze-firma-einfach-zeitsparend-und-ubersichtlich src=11a1b05f} ## An end to hand-built hours reports {#schluss-mit-manuellen-stundenrapporten src=cb210572} ^^ Why mReport bexio records time very well – but the analysis, and the report the client actually sees, usually stay handwork in Excel. That is exactly where mReport starts: bexio reporting for teams who have to do something with their hours, not only record them. Instead of rebuilding a spreadsheet every month, the bexio hours report is ready immediately – consistent, reusable, and with no copy-paste. Time is still recorded only in bexio. mReport reads the time entries, measures them against your rules for expected hours, holidays and vacation, and turns them into dashboards and PDF reports. Your data in bexio is left unchanged. **What mReport takes off your hands:** - Hour balances for projects and employees, calculated for you - Consistent, readable PDF reports instead of home-made spreadsheets - Vacation, public holidays and expected hours counted correctly - Your data in bexio stays unchanged – mReport only ever reads ## How it works {#so-funktioniert-s src=1d53ba89} ^^ In 3 steps ### 1. Connect bexio Sign up and connect mReport to your bexio account. The time you have already recorded is available straight away. You need a bexio account with projects and time tracking – available from the bexio Optima plan upwards. ### 2. Configure a report Decide once which projects, client services and employees are counted – and under which rules for expected hours, vacation and public holidays. ### 3. Export the report as a PDF Pick the period, check the figures on the dashboard and export the finished hours report as a PDF – ready for a client or for your own records. ## Four reports for the whole picture {#vier-rapporte-fur-den-ganzen-uberblick src=75ba89a9} ^^ Your reports mReport is your team's bexio reporting: four reports built on the same bexio hours, each answering the question you happen to have in front of you. >> Missing a report type? Write to us | mailto:info@earlybyte.ch?subject=Suggestion%20for%20a%20report%20type ### Work reports The client-ready [report per engagement](/en/work-report/) – with an hour budget, the balance left and the effort per client service. Billable, non-billable and internal hours stay cleanly apart. ### Project reports Where a [bexio project stands](/en/project-reports/) – estimate against booked hours, budget and the hourly rate actually achieved, broken down by work package and by person. ### Employee reports Hours, overtime and undertime, vacation and public holidays per person – with an expected-versus-actual comparison, a calendar heatmap and a multi-year balance. Go to [employee reports](/en/employee-reports/). ### Company dashboard The [bexio dashboard for the whole picture](/en/company-dashboard/) across every hour the company has worked, grouped by client, client service and team – monthly, quarterly or by year. ## Consistent PDF reports at the touch of a button {#einheitliche-pdf-rapporte-auf-knopfdruck src=3f136657} ^^ Export Every report follows the same clear layout and [exports as a PDF](/en/pdf-export/) – with your company logo, the recipient, the period, charts and tables. Every hours report out of bexio looks professional and recognisable, whether it goes to a client, to the team or to management. If you have only been recording time so far and have never analysed it, [analysing bexio time tracking](/en/analyse-time-tracking/) is the place to start. There is nothing to tidy up afterwards: the PDF is a finished document, not a data export that still has to go through Excel or Word. Which plan fits your team is on the [pricing page](/en/pricing/).
