Payments and Fees
Payments are now linked directly to fees. When making/collecting a payment, users are asked to select which outstanding fee item they are paying toward. This maps each payment towards a specific fee item and accounting group. The system now prevents users from paying more than the amount owed toward a fee item - no more overpayments!
Payment Report
Navigate to the Staff Menu > Finances > Payment Report. This page replaces the Payments page with more detailed reporting. You will now see a total of the payments received in the selected date range at the top of the page. Columns have been added to include the Cohort / School Year, Fee Item that the payment was paid toward, the Finance Class that the fee is associated with, and the Fee Balance of the fee being paid.
Finance Help
A description and help text has been added to each of the Finance Classes, Fee Items, and Discounts pages. Click the "?" to learn more about each finance action.
Payment Plans
Payment Plans are now connected to individual Fee Items instead of the outstanding amount of all fees. This means that there can be different due dates for each Fee Item posted to a student's account. Now, when you add a payment plan, you will be asked which Fee Item the plan will apply to.
Save Progress on Fill In Assignments
When a student clicked "Save Progress" from a Fill In Assignment Page, the system was not saving their progress. This issue has been fixed.
Fees in Admissions Process Not Posting
This fix addresses the issue where the fee item paid in the admissions process (application fee or deposit) was not being posted to the student's finance page.
