Show Every Change to Every Hour

GoBD compliant time tracking software that records who changed a time entry, when, and what it said before.

Consulting Cockpit - Calendar
History panel of a time entry over the week calendar: the entry created, then its end time changed from 10:30 to 11:00 and its description extended, each line with the old value struck through next to the new one, and the person who made the change with the exact time

Hours Without a History Are Hard to Defend

01

Deleted Hours Vanish

In a spreadsheet, a removed row is simply gone, and nobody can say what was there or who took it out.

02

Edits Leave No Author

When the Steuerprüfer asks who changed an entry from 8 to 6 hours, the answer is a shrug.

03

Clients Dispute the Timesheet

Without a record of changes, a client can question any number on the timesheet and you have nothing to show.

04

Month-End Rewrites Go Unnoticed

Hours corrected just before invoicing look exactly like hours logged on the day.

Every Change Is Written Down

Your consultants log time as usual. The record of changes builds up on its own.

  1. Every Action Is Logged

    Creating, editing, splitting, copying or deleting a time entry writes a record with the person, the exact time and the old and new values.

  2. Open the History

    Click the history icon on any time entry in the calendar. The History panel opens next to the entry.

  3. Read It in Plain Words

    Each change is written as a sentence, with the old value struck through next to the new one, plus who made it and when.

  4. Page Through Long Histories

    Entries edited many times load their history page by page, so the panel stays quick to read.

No Gaps in the Record

The cases that usually break a time record are covered.

Deleted Hours Still Leave a Trace

A deletion is recorded as its own event, with the values the entry had before it was removed.

The Log Cannot Be Edited in the App

The product only shows history. There is no button, screen or setting that changes or removes a log entry.

Team and Allowance Changes Too

Role changes, member removals and reactivations, and holiday allowance corrections are recorded with actor and timestamp.

Splits and Copies Are Traceable

When one entry is split or copied, the new entries are logged, so the hours can be followed from one record to the next.

The same recorded hours flow into your invoices without re-typing, and where those records live is a European question of its own, see Timesheet to Invoice and European Sovereign Software

Common Questions.

Is Consulting Cockpit GoBD certified?

No, and we do not claim a certificate. Consulting Cockpit supports your GoBD obligations by keeping a complete, attributable history of every change to your time entries.

What happens when a consultant deletes hours?

The deletion is recorded with the person, the exact time and the values the entry had. The hours disappear from the calendar, but not from the history.

Which changes are recorded?

Creating, editing, splitting, copying and deleting time entries, plus team role changes, member removals and reactivations, and holiday allowance corrections.

Can anyone change or remove a history record?

Not from inside the product. The app only reads the history; there is no way to alter or remove a log entry.

Where do I see the history of a time entry?

Open the entry in the calendar and click the history icon in the drawer header. The changes are listed in plain words, newest first.
