Overview

In this example, a $25 item is created and attached. A portion of the fee is waived for a student, and the remaining amount is paid by the parent. The steps and resulting displays in the SchoolCash Catalog's View Items window are described below.

Process: Waiving a Portion of the Fee

The waived fee is entered first:

  • Search for the student.
  • Select the item.
  • Choose Payment Action - Waived Fee.
  • Enter the amount to be waived.
  • Add a comment.

  • Select the Checkout action to complete the waived payment.
  • The remaining amount is treated as a full outstanding payment.

View Items Window: Waived Portion

In the SchoolCash Catalog's View Items window, the Purchased By and Quantity Sold both display as 1 for the waived portion of $12 in this example.

Process: Paying the Remaining Amount

The remaining $13 is processed as a full payment:

  • Search for the student.
  • Select the item.
  • Choose Payment Action - Full Payment.
  • The amount auto-populates.

  • Select the Checkout action to complete the payment.

View Items Window: Remaining Portion

In the SchoolCash Catalog's View Items window, the Purchased By and Quantity Sold both display as 1 for the second payment of $13 in this example.

Final Outcome

Although two payment actions are processed for the same student, the Purchased By and Quantity Sold fields indicate only 1 because only one item has been sold.
