How school fees work
The Student Accounting menu lists collecting payments first, because that is what you do most often. When you set up fees, work through it in this order:
| Step | Menu item | Article |
|---|---|---|
| 1. List what you charge for | Fees Type | Fees Type |
| 2. Decide what each class pays | Fees Templates | Fees Templates |
| 3. Charge it to students for the term | Fees Allocation | Fees Allocation |
| 4. Optional: late-payment fines | Fine Setup | Fine Setup |
| 5. Take payments | Invoices / Fees Payment | Collecting a fee payment |
Student Accounting needs a plan that includes it. Transport and hostel charges are set up in their own menus and appear on the same invoice.
