| Decoupled payment plans. | Previously, instalment charges (maintained using the Instalments tab) and payment plan payments (maintained using the Automatic Payments sub-tab) were linked and changes to one simultaneously updated the other. This forced debtors and schools to use the same charging and payment frequency. Now you can unlink instalment charges and payment plan payments to allow your school to maintain its preferred charging schedule while also allowing debtors to select their preferred payment schedule on the Community Portal. For more information, see LinkInstalmentsAndPlansFlag configuration setting. | Debtor Maintenance - Payment Type tab - Automatic Payments sub-tab | ||
