Convert Greenshades payroll data into invoices in Business Central
GraVoc’s Billing Platform enables small and medium-sized staffing firms to manage their pay/bill relationships with two best-of-breed solutions: Greenshades Payroll as the HR and payroll provider and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as the ERP system.
Our Billing Platform for Greenshades Payroll turns Greenshades pay data into Business Central invoicing or billing transactions, which drive Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger and Dimension analysis reporting. With this solution, staffing firms can boost efficiency by automating billing to eliminate manual file transfer, duplicate entries, and manipulation of timesheet data.

How it works
Our Billing Platform connects directly to Greenshades Payroll and ingests post-pay data, associates time entries with billing cards in Dynamics 365 Business Central, performs validation and exception reporting on the incoming data, and then tracks it through the billing process all the way to posting.

Billing Cards
Billing Cards are established for each Customer record in Business Central that determine the billing contact, dimensions, add-ins, allowances, comments, rates, frequency, and user-defined (custom text) field values.
Paycheck records
Each week after the Greenshades Payroll is posted, the Billing Platform connects via API directly and securely. New paycheck records are pulled into Business Central.
Validation & analysis
Validation and analysis is performed against the incoming data. The Sync Log alerts the billing manager to any problematic pay situations that require clearing or additional setup or adjustments on a Customer Billing Card.
Prebill action
The Prebill action gathers the available payroll data and suggests a list of billings for the week. These prebill invoices are useful to ensure the compiled data is correct before committing to an invoice.
Sales Invoices
When finalized, sales invoices are generated per the Billing Card configuration, printed and emailed, and posted to Business Central. If corrections are needed and a new invoice is required, sales credit memos will release the billable charges. After rates or other adjustments are made, a new invoice can be re-generated.
Streamlined solution configuration & deployment for staffing firms
Design & action plan
GraVoc will meet with you and your Greenshades Payroll implementation team to ensure we have full understanding of the setup and your payroll processing routines. We will review and document all of billing requirements during the design process and translate them into a ‘Setup Action Plan.’
Deployment & configuration
GraVoc deploys the Billing Platform extension into your Business Central tenant (sandbox first, of course!), and then performs initial configuration and feature setup for the product.
Data synchronization
Initial synchronization of data for the GraVoc Billing Platform occurs between Business Central and Greenshades. This is performed after Greenshades Payroll has been configured and tested.
Testing
Test payroll transactions are created in Greenshades Payroll and imported, validated, and billed in Business Central until all defined billing use cases are considered and working properly.

Move to production in Business Central
We ensure the billable rates, invoice breakouts and groupings, invoice layout and appearance, email functionality, and all related reporting are reviewed and approved before moving to the production Business Central environment.
