The Manage Fee Templates screen is used to set up fees for use in multiple programs and/or courses.
To enable functionality of program or course fees and billing, several parameters must be defined via System Preferences > Billing and/or General.
It is important to link the school in the Student Information module to the appropriate facility in the ERP module. Linking the school will allow student names to populate in the customer pull-down on the Point of Sale screen when the specific facility is selected.

If district fee templates (Billing > Manage District Fee Templates) have been created and pushed to the school, the template will display on the Manage Fee Templates screen; however, data will be uneditable made evident by the grayed out Template Title.
3. Once the title has been entered, press the Enter key to save the new template. Once saved, a Template ID is automatically generated.
4. Click Manage Template Fees to manage a new or existing fee template.
The template displays in a new tab, Selected Template.
In the first section, define specific fees by item number, title, amount, and resident/non-resident fees and accounting strips. The ID is automatically generated upon adding an item fee when the data is saved.
5. Start by entering the Item Number and Title.
6. Select how the item should be billed from the Bill Per pull-down: per Hour, by a Flat Fee or by Day. The options displayed in the pull-down depend on system preferences enabled.
7. Select Course, Section, or Semester from the Once Per Marking Period pull-down to make the item billable once per the selected marking period. For example, if Semester 2 is selected from the pull-down, students will only be billed that fee when they’re billed for Semester 2 and not Semester 1. This fee is year specific and students will be billed the same fee again the next year if the program crosses years.
The Marking Periods available are determined via Setup > Marking Periods.
8. Select the Once Per Program check box to make the item billable once per program at the initial invoicing from the student schedule, even if the program crosses years.
When a fee in a given class fee template is marked as Once Per Program, the fee is listed only separately as an additional fee during check out, until the student is charged once per program per student per year. These fees are not included in the listed or charged base price for classes for sale ensuring students and other users are not over charged in Purchase & Pay.

Non-tuition fees marked as class fee are calculated in the Class Fee column in the Fee Report.
10. Select the Taxable check box if the item is taxable (where specified state and/or local tax will apply via ERP > Setup > Settings > Accounts Receivable tab).
11. Select the Tuition check box to designate the fee as a tuition fee.
All fees selected as tuition will be grouped on the student receipt, if the system preference Merge Tuition Fees when Printing Receipts/Invoice is enabled via Setup > System Preferences > School Preferences / Default School Preferences > Billing tab.
12. Select the 1098-T check box if the fee should be included on 1098-Ts.
13. Select the Auto Pay check box for any items that should be automatically charged to the Student or Parent upon the due date. Parents and students are charged using saved credit cards in their Wallet; if a card hasn't been saved or is invalid, the payment will not be processed and the outstanding balance will remain on the account.
The Auto Pay feature is linked to the scheduled job called Autopay Invoices, which needs to be configured to run nightly to ensure that Auto Pay Invoices are automatically charged. See Scheduled Jobs for more information.
14. Select the Discount Does Not Apply check box to ensure that created discounts (Billing > Manage Discounts) cannot be applied upon paying for said fees.
The Discount Does Not Apply field displays when the setting Enable Discounts in Purchase & Pay is enabled via Setup > System Preferences > School Preferences/Default School Preferences > Billing tab.
15. Select applicable Voucher Sources from the pull-down to identify sources that can automatically defer the cost of funding sources when the student is billed. Note: The applicable Funding Sources must first be marked as vouchers via ERP > Accounts Receivable > Funding Sources.
Vouchers work for Flat Fees and Hourly Fees, as well Daily fees.
- The Bill Per selection (Day, Flat Fee, Hour) on the Fee Template will determine how the voucher is applied.
- Flat Fee: Any overlap of the dates and the amount and percent apply once.
- Hour Fee: Multiply voucher by the hour. For example, 5 hours per day X 5 days X voucher amount $5 = a discount of 25 per day on days that overlap with the voucher time period.
- Day Fee: Voucher apply once per day.
- If a student purchases more than one item from the same fee template, the voucher will apply to each line item in the invoice.
16. Select the applicable Cost Tier from the pull-down, which are set up via Billing > Cost Tier Setup. None, one, or multiple can be selected here.
17. Enter the billable Amount for the item in the text box. Note: If you selected Hour from the Bill Per pull-down, enter the amount that will be billed per hour. If you selected Flat Fee from the Bill Per pull-down, enter the entire amount that should be billed. If you selected Day from the pull-down, enter the amount that will be billed per day.
18. Select the Inactive check box if the item is no longer active and can no longer be pulled into student fees. Note: You can also select the inactive check box until you are ready to make the item available.
If a fee should not be applied or available for billing, the Inactive check box must be selected. Before version 9.0, you could enter 0.00 in the Amount text box(es) to make the item inactive; this is no longer a viable option as items can now be added, billed, and purchased as $0.00.
19. Specify the accounting strip information by selecting the applicable elements from the pull-downs, such as Fund, Facility, Internal Account, Internal Project, etc. Note: Accounting strip elements mary vary from district to district.
20. Click in any of the text boxes and press Enter to save the item. Once saved, the line will turn blue and the delete button displays (red minus sign).
