Billing

Vetilog integrates an automatic billing system connected to consultations, expertises and hospitalizations. Invoices are generated in one click and include exactly the acts recorded.

Billing Process

Billing follows a 3-step process: record acts → generate invoice → validate and send.

Acts / Billing Bill a Consultation Validated Validate the invoice and send it to the client

Bill from a consultation

This is the main flow. Each consultation can generate an invoice that automatically includes the acts recorded in the "Acts / Billing" section.

  1. Add your acts in the Acts / Billing section of the consultation card
  2. Validate the consultation (status → Validated)
  3. Click "Bill" — a draft invoice is created with all act lines
  4. Check and complete the invoice in Dolibarr if needed
  5. Validate the invoice and send it to the client
Tip: Tip: enter all acts before validating the consultation so the price shown on the card is accurate.
Note: The invoice is always created as a draft. You have time to review it before validating and sending it.

Invoice line content

Each act from the consultation becomes a separate invoice line:

  • Product: the VET-{CODE} Dolibarr service corresponding to the act — ex. VET-CONSULT, VET-ECHO
  • Label: the name of the veterinary act
  • Quantity: entered on the act line
  • Unit price: from the dictionary (editable)
  • Total: calculated automatically

Billed Owner

By default, the animal's primary owner is billed.

Multi-owner billing

If an animal has multiple owners, you select the owner to bill when creating the consultation. This choice determines which third party the invoice will be addressed to.
