Crediting Individual Attendances from the Attendance Screen

This article takes you through the steps on how to configure your Non-Attendance Reason to be able to refund the value of a lesson attendance and mark the attendance as Non-Attend at the same time from the Attendance Screen.

Configuration of the Non-Attendance Reason

(If you have already configured a credit non-attendance reason, you do not need to do this again).

1. Go to Configuration.

2. Click "Non-Attendance Reasons"

3. Click the Green "Add Non Attendance Reason" button

4. Name your Non-Attendance Reason appropriately. 

Tick the "Issue a Credit Invoice for the calculated lesson amount" only.

Enter a display order and Click the blue "Add Non Attendance Reason" button.

Crediting Individual Attendances from the Attendance Screen

1. On the Attendance Screen find the student's attendance.

2. Select the appropriate Non Attend reason from the dropdown menu and click the grey "Non Attend" button.

3. You will then see the "Issue Lesson Credit" Screen displaying the attendance credit amount.

• Invoice Credit Date (should be the date of the class you are crediting the attendance for) - this is the date that will be used for Calculated Value Direct Debits. For more information see bottom of article.
•  Tick Add Communication Record and select the appropriate communication type - NOTE: this will not send a notification to the family it will just stay on the family's Communication Log.
•  Click Save.

Invoice Credit Date & Calculated Value Direct Debits

This will affect those who run Weekly or Fortnightly Direct Debits. The "Invoice Credit Date" is the date it will come off the direct debit.

Example: Child swims on Friday and the weekly direct debit has already been processed for the week. You will need to change the Invoice Credit Date to a day in the following week eg Monday or Tuesday that will be included in the next Direct Debit run.
