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.

NOTE: If you have notes required for the Non-Attend reason, a screen will pop up prompting you to add a note.

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.
