Directo integration

Daily hours XLSX export to Directo ERP.

Written by Gerda Lill

Use the Directo integration to export working hours from Begin and import them into Directo ERP.
​

Note: Directo is a custom integration and must be enabled by the Begin team before it becomes available in your account.

Configure export fields

Before generating exports:

  • Ensure each employee has an Export code configured in their employee profile. The code must match the employee identifier used in Directo.

  • Confirm which Directo hour codes should be used for Day, Night, and Holiday hours.

To configure the integration:

  1. Go to Integrations.

  2. Open Directo.

  3. Open the Setup tab.

  4. Enable the hour types you want to export.

  5. Enter the corresponding Directo export code for each hour type.

  6. Save your changes.

The following hour types can be exported:

  • Day

  • Night

  • Holiday

Export hours

  1. Open the Export tab.

  2. Select the period you want to export.

  3. Choose a data source:

    • Hybrid – combines scheduled and real hours.

    • Real hours – uses worked hours based on attendance.

    • Scheduled hours – uses hours from the schedule.

  4. (Optional) Click Filter to export data for specific employees, locations, departments, or objects.

  5. Click Generate Export.

  6. Download the generated XLSX file.

  7. Import the file into Directo using its standard salary-hour import process.

Export history

After generating an export, it is automatically added to the export history list.

For each export, you can view:

  • Export status

  • Export period

  • Data source used

  • Number of records

  • User who generated the export

  • Applied filters

You can also download previously generated export files from the history list.
​

Troubleshooting

Directo rejects the file

Verify that the export codes configured in the Setup tab match the codes expected by Directo.

Hours do not match the employee's timesheet

Confirm that the correct period and data source were selected when generating the export.

Night hours appear incorrect

Verify the night-hours settings configured for your account.
