How to Manage Work Hours in Simpro–Xero Integration

New Toggle Options in Simpro–Xero Integration

As part of ongoing improvements to the Simpro–Xero integration, we have introduced a new toggle setting alongside the existing Normal Time Rounding feature. These settings give businesses more flexibility in how working hours are calculated and exported.

Overview of Toggles

There are now two configurable toggles available:

  1. Normal Time Rounding

  2. Add 0.10 to Basic Hours

Mutual Exclusivity

  • Both toggles cannot be active at the same time.

  • Enabling one will automatically disable the other.

  • At any given time, only one of the following can be active:

    • Normal Time Rounding

    • Add 0.10 to Basic Hours

  • By default, both toggles are OFF.


1. Normal Time Rounding

If this toggle is switched ON, the system will automatically round a full Simpro day of exactly 7.5 hours up to 7.6 hours when the timesheet is fetched from Simpro to SyncEzy.

Example:

  • Timesheet entry = 7.5 hours

  • With Normal Time Rounding enabled → Adjusted Basic Hours = 7.6

This feature ensures consistency where organizations prefer standard rounding of daily hours.

2. Add 0.10 to Basic Hours

When the “Add 0.10 to Basic Hours” toggle is enabled:

  • If the OT Rule defines Basic Hours as 7.5, the system automatically adds 0.10 making the basic hours to 7.6.

  • Adjustment applies after break deductions (if any).

  • The change does not affect breaks or overtime individually.

  • The total hours (Basic + Break + OT) will reflect the additional 0.10.

Example Scenario

  • Timesheet: 9.0 hours

  • Break: 0.50 (30 minutes)

  • Basic (via OT Rule): 7.5 hours

With “Add 0.10 to Basic Hours” enabled:

  • Basic = 7.6

  • Break = 0.50

  • OT = 1.0

  • Total = 9.1 hours

Summary

The new Add 0.10 to Basic Hours toggle gives businesses an alternative method for adjusting timesheet calculations. Together with Normal Time Rounding, these two options allow for greater flexibility, while mutual exclusivity ensures that only one adjustment method is applied at any time.
