Why the Auto Tuition Sequence is vital
The Auto Tuition Sequence defines the way in which charges and concessions are applied. If this order is not correct, the debtor may be charged incorrectly.
The Auto Tuition Sequence is defined in the lookup table luDebtorAutoTuition.
Example
For example, you have consolidated charges of $500, a tuition charge of $3000 and are applying a student concession of 50%.
The amount of the concession depends on whether it applies to the consolidated charge as well as the tuition, or just to the tuition. If the concession applies only to the tuition, the concession is $1500. If the concession applies to both, the concession is $1750.
If the concession is applied to tuition alone, the Auto Tuition Sequence would be:
Code | Description | Seq | Percent % | Amount $ |
---|---|---|---|---|
T | Tuition | 1 |
| 3000 |
SIB | Sibling Discount | 2 |
|
|
TC | Tuition Concession | 3 | 50% | -1500 |
CC | Consolidated Charges | 4 |
| 500 |
| Total Charges |
|
| 2000 |
Otherwise if you wanted the concession to apply to both the tuition and the consolidated charge, the Auto Tuition Sequence would be:
Code | Description | Seq | Percent % | Amount $ |
---|---|---|---|---|
T | Tuition | 1 |
| 3000 |
SIB | Sibling Discount | 2 |
|
|
CC | Consolidated Charges | 3 |
| 500 |
TC | Tuition Concession | 4 | 50% | -1750 |
| Total Charges |
|
| 1750 |
Note: Every auto tuition code must have an Auto Tuition Sequence. If you want the code ignored, you must adjust the debtor fees so that that code is not used. If the code is still specified and you set the value to zero, the code will not be ignored.
