Once a Facility and a Due Date are selected/entered, a list of Funding Source Deferrals generates along with the corresponding Customer names and student IDs, the Invoice Date, Description of the deferral fee, the Authorization Code (if applicable), and the deferral Amount.

Editing the Amount before creating the invoice will populate on the Receive Payments tab to receive the new amount of payment; however, the remaining amont remains on the Creative Invoice tab. For example, if the original Amount is 45.00 and you change it to 35.00, the remaining $10 will remain on the Creative Invoice tab.

Reducing the deferral sends the Amount listed back to the Sales tab of the Point of Sale screen in ERP or back to the Sales tab of the Student Billing screen where the student will be responsible for making the payment.

Allowing funding sources without a specified facility provides flexibility for these types of situations.
13. Select the Active check box to make the funding source available via Point of Sale and/or Student Billing.
