Board contracts, extra services & billing
How this is scored
How the stable gets paid: board contracts per box and horse, extra services logged at the moment they are done, prepaid credit, recurring invoices, SEPA direct debit, VAT treatment that a tax adviser accepts, and an export to the accountant.
0 — No billing at all; services are noted somewhere and invoiced by hand in another tool.
3 — A list of services or a price table per horse, but invoices are written outside the system and nothing connects a logged service to a charge.
5 — Board contracts and extra services billed from the system: monthly invoices generated from contracts plus logged services, sent to the boarder, with payment status tracked.
8 — Services logged on the phone where they happen flow into the invoice or a prepaid balance automatically, SEPA direct debit with mandates, VAT rates configurable per service type, cancellation and credit notes, and an export to DATEV or a named accounting tool.
10 — The money side is discharged inside the system: GoBD-compliant numbering and archiving stated, e-invoices (XRechnung/ZUGFeRD) supported, prepaid credit with low-balance warnings, dunning, multiple payers per horse (shares, Reitbeteiligung) split correctly, and every charge traceable to the logged service and the staff member who logged it.
The Skeptic
This side is unusually concrete: board invoices and collection including supplements run automatically each month, with direct debit, dunning, electronic-invoice formats (Factur-X, UBL, CII), accounting export and a cash book, and electronically signed pension contracts. What keeps it down is the detail a tax adviser asks for — we found no public information on VAT rates per service type, credit notes or a named accounting tool behind the export, and nothing on prepaid balances or shared payers per horse. 2 3 4 6
