Setting Up Payment Configurations

For example, you may set up a yearly bill for school fees but allow the parents to pay the bill off over a period of time either by month, week, term (whatever you specify). By setting payment configurations, Educonnex will then split the bill into equal payments (according to the set up) and set individual invoices across the set time period.

For instance, if you set school fees to be paid for by school term - Educonnex will split the total amount due for the full year into four payments and create four invoices that will be future dated. This can then be exported to your accounting software and sent out to your school community members as the payment arises.
