Debtor Maintenance - Concessions tab

Concessions are discounts that are applied to individual students. For example, if a student has received a scholarship, bursary or a discount for being the second child in the family.

Note: We recommend that you enter concession information from Student Maintenance, as concessions are always linked to individual students. See Current Student Maintenance - Concessions tab in the Current students manual.

Concessions are active even if an auto tuition code is not selected. However, Synergetic calculates concessions that are a percentage of tuition fees as zero if an auto tuition flag is not selected. See Current Student Maintenance - Debtors tab in the Current students manual.

Concessions can be applied to any credit or charge for which a fee has been defined. See Maintaining debtor fees for more details on defining fees.

The concessions are automatically applied when you run the Automatic Tuition program. You can set up a concession to apply only over a date range if required. See Automatic Tuition.

Fee Code

Code used to identify the fee. See Maintaining debtor fees.

The fee code is used to define the:

  • general ledger account allocation
  • description of the concession
  • default amount or percentage discount to be applied if required.

Sometimes discounts vary based on the student's campus or year level.

A replaceable part of the fee code takes the form {Campus|Year Level} where the Year Level is optional. You can define the characters used within the {} brackets. For example:

  • DIS{J} - 20% will apply a discount of 20% in the Junior school.
  • DIS{S} - 30% will apply a discount of 30% in the Senior school.
