Master Data Linked to Registrations

Master data in BitaBIZ forms the foundation that ensures employees’ registrations (work hours, absence, mileage, etc.) are automatically linked to the correct organizational and financial dimensions.

Through master data, registrations are linked to, for example: cost center, account number, cost price, activity, department, P-number, staff group, country, and company.

Master data comes from 2 sources (2 API calls):

  1. The employee’s master data card (department/P-number, country, company, cost price, etc.)
    Employee API:

    REST

    curl -H "x-apikey: $API_KEY" \
    https://api.bitabiz.com/v2/employees/

    CSV

    https://api.bitabiz.com/pbi/INSERT_API_KEY_HERE/employees

  2. The registration type itself (cost center/activity, project/account number, pay rate, etc.)
    Registration API:

    REST

    curl -H "x-apikey: $API_KEY" \
    "https://api.bitabiz.com/v2/registrations

    CSV

    https://api.bitabiz.com/pbi/INSERT_API_KEY_HERE/registrations
