Levy categories are the typical fees charged by the school, such as School Fees, After-school Care, Meals, Extra Classes or Arts Academy. Before billing can be done, the billing setup must be completed: this includes levy and grouping categories and payment options.
Note: Only one School Fees levy category must be created for the entire school. Different payment options are managed under the payment option setup, not as separate categories.
Finance > Debtors > Levy Categories
Click the Add button.
Enter the levy category in Afrikaans and English.
Select whether it is used as a levy category or statement grouping category.
Select whether every learner must be linked (Yes for compulsory fees; No for optional fees).
Select whether more than one payment option from this category can be linked to a learner.
Select whether it is a school fees category.
Select the bank details, emblem, and order on the statement.
Click Add.
Click the circle under Selected next to the category, click Edit, make the change, and click Save.
If the levy category is linked to a payment option, it cannot be removed. First unlink all payment options before attempting to remove the category.
Only one school fees category may be created for the entire school. Use payment options within this category to differentiate between different groups.
