Split billing¶
When the resident’s share must be paid by several people — typically the maintenance debtors — Resthome splits it automatically, and produces one invoice per debtor.
The principle¶
The resident’s share (accommodation + supplements) is divided among the debtors, according to a key you set on the resident’s record.
Each debtor receives their own invoice, with their own VAT treatment.
The resident receives a statement of the whole month, which totals 0.00 €: it shows everything, and charges nothing.
The insurer’s share is not concerned
The INAMI package goes to the health insurer through eFact, as usual. Split billing only touches what the resident owes.
Two ways of splitting¶
By percentage — every debtor has a share; the total must be exactly 100 %. A message shows what is left to allocate.
By fixed amount — one or several debtors owe an agreed amount, and exactly one debtor is Variable: they take what is left.
When the amounts do not fit
Fixed amounts are invoiced first. If the resident’s share is smaller than the sum of the fixed amounts, each of them is invoiced pro rata and the variable debtor gets nothing.

The documents produced — the statement, the invoices, the PDF.
