To process payment against past due invoices, please follow the steps mentioned below:

 

 

What are past due invoices?

Once the due date of your invoice has passed, the invoice’s status will be changed to PAST DUE. The purpose of past due status is to enable school administration to determine that which invoices are currently pending and passed their due dates.

 

This status is visible on Fee Management > Fee Payment > List All Invoices screen in Invoice Status column. Parents will also be notified regarding the invoice(s) that are past due via email.

 

On Settings > General Settings> Bill Settings, you have defined the “Due date for bill payment”. This is considered as the last date of bill payment and the same information is shared with parents when they receive invoices for payment.

 

 


 

Note:

 

  • Fee payment can be received for past due invoices via admin, parent portal or online payment link.

 

  • Any invoice which is not completely paid will be updated with past due status.

 

  • If the invoice is not paid in full before the next Bill Generation Date (provided on Settings > General Settings > Bill Settings), then new invoice will be opened. Any amount which is unpaid in current invoice will be added as Balance Forwarded to the next open invoice.

 

  • Late fee defined as per the steps mentioned in article How to add late fee type is the default late fee type. This fee will be added to all the invoices that were not paid fully before next Bill Generation Date provided on Settings > General Settings > Bill Settings screen.

 

  • You can update email template for past due invoices to provide relevant information for parents. Go to Settings > Email Templates > Invoice Expire Notification Email. Update template and click on Save button. Please do not remove the {invoice_no} tag as it will be replaced by actual details of pending invoices when email is sent to parents
