There are a number of key concepts to understand when working with the finance of any Enrolment. These are explained on this page.

Enrolment Finance Panel

  • The full finance details of the Enrolment are displayed in the Enrolment Finance Details panel.

  • This shows all unposted and posted finance for each Account related to the Enrolment.

  • There is one line per Finance Journal.

  • Example 1: basic direct student enrolment

  • Example 2: any discounts and commissions are separate Finance Journals and so are displayed on separate lines, as per the following example:

  • Example 3: where the Booking Fee is included with the course fee and the Accommodation Fee included with the Accommodation booking - these are displayed in the Enrolment Finance panel:

Posted vs Unposted Income

  • Unposted income = any income that has not yet been invoiced.

    • Proforma documents display unposted income.

  • Posted income = any income that has been invoiced.

    • Invoice documents display posted income.

  • No invoice number.

  • Possible to still edit Bookings without any financial “audit trail”.

  • Typically used before the student is certain about their booking choices, dates, length of stay etc.

  • Multiple proforma documents can be generated to send to the customer to show the costs.

Image Added
  • Invoice Number (Finance Reference) assigned.

  • Not possible to edit the invoice once generated as it is a legal transaction.

  • Still possible to edit Bookings, but there will be a financial “audit trail” of credit notes and further invoices to reflect any changes.

  • Used when the customer is certain about their booking choices, dates, length of stay etc.

  • For more information on Invoicing, please see this article.

  • If Partial Invoice is used, there may be a combination of unposted and posted income:
