Fee & Billing Module – New Features

Feature 1: Footer Description on Student Ledger Certificate

Overview

We have introduced two new enhancements to improve the Student Ledger Certificate, making it more presentable and effective for school administration.

Key Enhancements

1. New "Footer Description" Field
   • A new textbox labeled "Footer Description" has been added to the Fee Certificate page while generating the Student Ledger certificate.
   • The content entered in this field will appear in the footer of the generated certificate.
   • Use Case: Schools can now include specific statements like “This certificate is being issued on request for submission to the Income Tax Department.”

2. Improved Due Details Representation
   • If a student has no outstanding dues, the due details table on the certificate will display "Nil" instead of being left blank.
   • This ensures clarity in the certificate's financial summary.

Benefits:

• ✅ Enhanced presentation of the Student Ledger Certificate.
• ✅ Greater flexibility for schools to include necessary disclaimers.
• ✅ Improved clarity in due amount representation.

Feature 2: New Fee Reports are Added

We have introduced the following reports to the Fee Reports page to enhance financial tracking and analysis:

1. Paymode Wise Report Group
   • Admins can now view the total amount collected within a specific Fee Report Group.
   • The report aggregates amounts collected from all fee heads belonging to the selected report group.
   • The total amount is displayed based on the receipt mode (e.g., Cash, Bank, Online, etc.) in a row-wise format for better clarity.

2. Monthly Day Wise Collection II
   • This report introduces the session year in which the collection occurred.
   • It supports multi-year data, allowing analysis of payments across different academic sessions.
   • Displays the count of total payments made on a particular date within a specific session.
   • Shows the total amount collected per fee head on each date.
   • Example: If 10 payments were made on 02/04/2024 in the session 2024-25, the report will capture this.

These additions provide enhanced visibility into fee collections, helping administrators manage finances efficiently.

Feature 3: JODO Payment Gateway Integration

We have successfully integrated the JODO Payment Gateway into the system, providing schools with an additional payment processing option.

• Schools can now select JODO in the Gateway Name dropdown on the Online Payment Setting page.
• Once enabled, JODO will be available on the online payment interface in the Parent Portal and payment links shared for online fee collection.

This integration enhances flexibility and provides a seamless online payment experience for parents. 🚀

Feature 4: New Page Added – Excess Fee Remittance

We have introduced a new page titled "Excess Fee Remittance" to facilitate the refund of excess fee amounts collected from parents.

• Purpose: Schools can now return excess amounts that were credited due to duplicate or failed transactions.
• Use Case: If a parent makes a duplicate payment due to a failed transaction that later succeeds, the school can process the refund using this page.

This enhancement ensures transparent and efficient handling of excess fee refunds, improving the payment reconciliation process. 🚀
