This function allows you to create accounts for the various debtors, collectors and other debtors of the school. This will facilitate the capturing of debtor transactions including journals, adjustments, handovers, and receipts on the account.  Please note that this is not the General Ledger Account, but the account for the debtors and collectors.

School Debtors

  •  When the accountable person is added to the system they are automatically debtors
  • The account keeps track of every transaction, like for instance, monthly invoices issued, receipts issued and any journals that were passed
  • If a learner leaves, his account will be "closed" but you will have access to it at any given time. Because it keeps record of every single transaction that took place on the debtor's account you can use this option to see when the last transaction took place on the account so that you can print a statement for them
