The Auto Tuition program posts tuition and associated charges automatically for all students. Charges are automatically calculated based on the student's campus, year level and/or boarder status.
Important Note: We strongly recommend that you split your auto tuition runs up so that you only process one or two year levels at a time. If you try to post charges for too many debtors at once, you may get the following error message: The transaction log is full, truncate the log to continue.If this occurs, contact your system administrator for advice before re-running the auto tuition program.
Fee Maintenance is used to define the appropriate charges. See Maintaining debtor fees (on page ).
A typical automatic tuition run will post the following charges:
Seq | Code | Description |
1 | T | Tuition |
2 | SD | Sibling Discount |
3 | CC | Consolidated Charges |
4 | TC | Tuition Concession |
5 | B | Boarding Fee |
6 | BC | Boarding Fee Concession |
7 | O | Other Charges |
The automatic tuition codes are defined in the luDebtorAutoTuition lookup table. The sequence that charges are processed can be customised. See luDebtorAutoTuition lookup table in the Finance manual.
