New luSubSchool lookup table.

The luSubSchool lookup table is used mostly by multi-campus organisations that provide schooling for all year levels at each campus.

For example, year levels at a campus can be grouped into a:

  • junior school
  • middle school
  • senior school.

The sub-school can then be used for searching for current and future students.

Override the debtor name and show it on the Debtor tab of Current Student Maintenance.
