This article explains how to properly record an overpayment of a fee in SchoolCash. You'll learn two supported methods for handling overpayments depending on your workflow and preference.

Option 1: Create a Variable Item for Overpayment

A variable item can be created in the SchoolCash Catalog called Overpayment.

When a parent overpays for an item, the user selects Add Additional Item in the SchoolCash Register to enter the overpaid amount.

Option 2: Apply the Overpayment to Another Item

Alternatively, you can apply the overpaid amount to another item in the system.
