Entering debtor charges
You use Debtor Charges Entry to create and post any type of charges that an enrolled student may incur. You maintain the existing charges and create new charges in Maintaining debtor fees.
You usually use Debtor Charges Entry for ad hoc charges to individual students. For example, charging future students for school books before the new year. Debtor Charges Entry is mainly used for current students and incidental charges. You can only run charges in Synergetic when you have the new reporting period created and set up.
A debtor charge posting automatically updates:
- the general ledger for fee code allocations
- the debtor's control account
- transactions in the debtors ledger.
