The documents produced

Generating the invoices of a month produces, for a resident in split billing, one statement and one invoice per debtor.

The resident’s statement

  • It is addressed to the resident, in the dedicated journal.

  • It lists the whole month — accommodation, supplements — without VAT, on the suspense account.

  • A Down Payments section then deducts each debtor’s participation.

  • Total: 0.00 €.

A statement marked “Paid”

A document totalling zero is considered settled: the statement shows as Paid. It is normal, and means nothing about what the debtors have actually paid.

The debtors’ invoices

Each debtor receives a real invoice, in the usual resident journal:

  • a note at the top recalls the month, the resident, the total of the statement and their share (a percentage, a fixed amount, or the part not covered by the others);

  • each line of the month is repeated with the wording Full amount: … — Your participation = x %;

  • income accounts and VAT are normal, following the debtor’s fiscal position.

The PDF carries a second page, Resident Invoice, which repeats the whole month — without the deduction lines, so nobody reads what the others pay.

Rounding

An agreed fixed amount is invoiced to the cent; what remains falls on the variable debtor. A debtor whose share rounds to zero everywhere receives no invoice.

Safeguards

  • A posted deposit blocks regeneration: Resthome names the invoices to reset to draft first.

  • Draft deposits are replaced, never stacked.

  • Resetting the period to draft deletes the statement and its deposits together.
