The service-charge account of an association with balance list, statement import and direct-debit collection

Step by step

  1. Open the association and then “Service-charge account”. Import a statement of the association's account (camt.053, MT940 or CSV).Matched by IBAN or unit in the reference
  2. The balance list shows per unit the budgeted service charge, special levies and additional payments against payments. Assign open payments by hand.Owners see only their own balance
  3. For open amounts, create a payment reminder, an interest statement or the data sheet for the online dunning application.Interest: 5 points above the base rate
  4. With direct-debit mandates, create the direct-debit file for your bank or start collection through the connected collection account.Collection currently runs in test mode
  5. For the tax advisor, download the year's DATEV booking batch or CSV.The firm assigns the accounts

The result: Always know who owes what, with the next steps prepared.

Important: You file the dunning application yourself at online-mahnantrag.de. Collection through ImmoDok is a simulation until a payment provider is connected; no money moves.

What if it does not work?

A payment was not assigned to a unit.
Store the owner's IBAN or assign the payment under “Payments without a unit”.
The direct-debit file cannot be created.
Creditor ID, the association's IBAN, an adopted budget or complete mandates are missing.
