I am VERY new to Education Edge (four weeks under my belt) - and have been reviewing the way we handle data entry for all of our payments. At the moment, we use Student Billing only for tuition. All the other incidentals, lunch fees, bus fees, extra-curricular activities, field trip fees, graduation fees, etc. etc. etc. have been tracked on a spreadsheet and manually entered with a journal entry in FE.
It bothers me that we have no central place where we are capturing all the income (and receivables) for each student. We also have way too much room for error in terms of tracking these payments It seems to me that I should set up each of these items with their corresponding GL codes as billing items and assign them to each student's record.
How do you handle these "extra" payments in your school?
