Purpose

To issue invoices accurately, collect payment reliably, and maintain clean financial records โ€” for customers, partners, and EU project claims.

Owner

Predrag Tasevski โ€” CEO / Visionary

Trigger

This process starts when: (a) a customer subscription is due for renewal, (b) a new customer subscription is activated, ยฉ a partner commission is due, or (d) an EU project milestone triggers a financial claim.

Steps

Customer Subscription Invoicing

  1. Invoice generated โ€” Dolibarr generates the recurring invoice automatically on the billing date (monthly or annual). Predrag reviews before sending. \\Tool: Dolibarr
  2. Invoice sent โ€” Dolibarr sends the invoice by email to the customer billing contact. \\Tool: Dolibarr
  3. Payment link included โ€” Invoice includes a Wise payment link for bank transfer. For customers requiring other payment methods, contact Predrag. \\Tool: Wise
  4. Payment confirmed โ€” Predrag marks the invoice as paid in Dolibarr when payment is received. Customer record updated. \\Tool: Dolibarr
  5. Overdue follow-up โ€” If unpaid after 14 days, Predrag sends a manual reminder via FreeScout. If unpaid after 30 days, escalate to a direct conversation. \\Tool: FreeScout

Partner Commission

  1. Commission calculated โ€” At the end of each month, Predrag reviews partner-referred subscriptions in Dolibarr and calculates commission per the Partner Agreement. \\Tool: Dolibarr
  2. Commission invoice received โ€” Partner sends their invoice to Unicis. Predrag reviews against Dolibarr records. \\Tool: FreeScout / email
  3. Payment sent โ€” Commission paid via Wise. Marked in Dolibarr. \\Tool: Wise, Dolibarr

EU Project Financial Claim

  1. Eligible costs compiled โ€” Ksenija and Predrag compile eligible costs for the reporting period: personnel time (from Dolibarr time tracking), direct costs, subcontracting. \\Tool: Dolibarr
  2. Financial report prepared โ€” Predrag prepares the financial report in the format required by the project grant agreement. \\Tool: EU project portal template, Nextcloud
  3. Submission โ€” Financial report submitted via the EU project portal. Confirmation saved in Nextcloud under /EU Projects/[Project Name]/Financial/. \\Tool: EU project portal, Nextcloud

Output

  • Subscription invoices: paid and marked in Dolibarr within 30 days of issue
  • Partner commissions: paid monthly, reconciled in Dolibarr
  • EU claims: submitted on schedule per grant agreement, confirmations archived

Tools

  • Dolibarr โ€” invoice generation, customer records, time tracking, financial reporting
  • Wise โ€” payment processing and transfers
  • FreeScout โ€” overdue follow-up communications
  • Nextcloud โ€” financial document archive
  • EU project portal โ€” grant financial submissions

Notes / Exceptions

  • Once billing.unicis.tech is live, customer self-service billing will replace manual Dolibarr invoicing for standard subscriptions. This process will be updated at that point.
  • All financial records are confidential. Store only in Dolibarr and the restricted Nextcloud finance folder.
  • VAT: Unicis is registered in Estonia (Oรœ). EU B2B invoices use reverse charge. Non-EU customers: consult with the accountant.
