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.
